yeah, how about hell freaking no. like, this doesn’t even make sense, Buc-ees. you’re a glorified gas station that operates like a circus. and you want state money to fund your new stores? get bent. you have enough money. you fund it.

logged into work with this cute message in my email. yeah, let me get right on that. but seriously, we work 9-5 jobs, everyone operates on either east coast or central time zones. i had my phone muted at night but if this had woke me up i wouldn't be a happy camper.

anyway, happy friday and long weekend!

annoying email that moved into my inbox at 12:54 this morning.

ugh gross, I had to make a new client of ours a hellsite account today for their business. i did bring up, "are you sure you really want to do that?" and they were adamant they needed it so, oh well. i just felt unclean having to dip my virtual toes back into that cesspool.

and those granted access areas will be results that corporations pay for. they gotta pay the search engine company to get into the bag.

yes, this is currently happening with CPC, SEO and other marketing tactics. but i think this could lead to a super slippery slope of censorship, where company ABC doesn't want you to know or get results that contain company XYZ.

just a thought -- the more i learn about the dead internet theory, the more i realize that we're actively swimming in a shrinking pool. i think search engine results will be based on what data AI scoops up for you from their "assigned bag." that meaning AI can only provide results from granted access areas.

i was blessed this morning on my walk with the dogs to be in the presence of the bay view fox. it has been some time since i last saw it, but it was as majestic as ever. hope to see more and more of them on my block again, i miss their adorableness.
