Postmodernism continues to be alive and well and embedded in Google.

Winslow Homer was such an amazing artist; perhaps some people have difficulty recognizing his talent.

This is why I don't use google.

Randomly I was watching Matlock on TV. You know half watching something that is from the late 80s is kind of interesting. How it was paced, the lack of technology, a show set in Atlanta (which is kind of rare now), and just kind of interesting how ungritty it is.

One thing I noticed is there is a confederate flag on the right of the judges bench in the courtroom.

I was not surprised by the flag - it makes sense in the context - but more by the idea that Amazon had not somehow AI'ed it out of the show to avoid anyone being confronted by history...

I also pondered complaining to them about it being there to see if anything happened...

hmm Google. Aren't they the company whose AI generates images of black vikings and other politically sanitized, if factually inaccurate, renderings of the past. So this current censoring fits, right? At least they are consistent.

Google, and the rest of the”misinformation” zealots, don’t really care about reality. They want us to only see and hear their version of reality. They, like the Biden Administration, continue to demonstrate that they are the ones pushing misinformation on the public.

There are future free helicopter rides to the littorals for multitudes of leftists.

These very same extra-governmental, unaccountable entities who coldly and algorithmically condemn a nearly two century-old drawing are the very same ones who downplay or ignore the atrocities of 7-October while embracing and amplifying calls for the destruction of Israel and the death of its inhabitants.

The past has to be erased.

No need to worry, this is well under way. In another generation -- two at the outside -- the fabric of our nation and our culture will have been completely ripped away and replaced with a population of compliant drones who download their ideologies and opinions fresh each morning from their chosen Social Media Big Brother.

We will be the generations who let it slip away.

I'm sorry. This is the most moronic thing I have ever read. At least today.

The Google Chrome browser has begun blocking access to a number of Conservative and Right of Center sites. Mainstream stuff, not Alex Jones or racist craziness. And my bank no longer permits me to use my bank debit card to subscribe to or purchase articles online from sites critical of Communist China. We are the frog in the pot, being boiled slowly so we don't notice.

They have been doing this for years.

Google and the DNC hate America and hate freedom.

Google is Communist.

This is the least of their crimes. They are banning all Trump ads on YouTube, claiming they foment hate and are disinformation, but all DNC ads will be allowed.

"There isn’t even a Confederate flag in the image. "

Because if there was one, then Suzy Weiss would be okay with the ban?

I think her point was more along the lines of: there was no confederate flag, which has been determined (by the ubiquitous "them', whoever they might be) to be a racist symbol and which could have somewhat plausibly been claimed by Google to be the reason for the ban.

Maybe. But I don't trust Democrats. Even "reformed" ones...

I have my doubts she would.

How About This?

Oh man, my favorite Western. And Ry Cooder's soundtrack was the perfect fit.

Why is google banning anything? Shouldn’t they just be a passive arbiter of the internet?

Google is evil.

Which is ironic, given it's earlier - and apparently abandoned - motto of 'don't be evil.'

The sketch is historically significant, evocative (as many excellent depictions of war are), and thoroughly inoffensive.

It would appear that Google has learned nothing from its shameful fail of its initial Gemini AI app.

Anything which depicts a White Man in an sort of sympathetic or even human light is, by nature, evil and must be suppressed for the good of the State.
