Did you know that Google now searches and matches photos in Instagram? I received the photo on the left from a catfish, and google image search matched it directly to the photo on the right, in an IG account. I thought search engines didn't have access to IG photos, but google does.

Many years ago, in a post on the alt.fan.cecil-adams newsgroup, I said I was looking for a sign. Other people had seen signs too: 1. Do not back up. Severe tire damage may result. 2. Next services 130 miles 3. Wet hair. Lather. Rinse. Repeat 4. Abort, Retry, Ignore? 1/N

Holy Crap what is this? I looked up someone I haven't seen in years on Facebook, and this is the screen that popped up. I just searched for their name, I didn't click on a direct link, and we aren't FB friends. What the hell does FB think they did???

A Facebook popup splash screen that says, "If you see the sale of drugs, please report it. We remove content that doesn't follow our Community Standards. If you or someone you know struggle with substance misuse, free confidential treatment and information is available."

November 28, 2012. Such simple times. Did she? If not, did he storm the capitol in 2021?

A political cartoon published in the LA Times on Nov 28, 2012, showing 2016 presidential yard signs for Rubio, Clinton, Christie, Biden, Bush, and Cuomo, but no mention of the big Orange Doofus. A man and a woman are looking at the yard signs, and the man says, "Kill me now!" 

One wonders if (a) the woman killed him, (b) he voted for Hillary or Trump, and (c) if he is in prison now for storming the capitol in 2021.

This is a small section of a photo I got from a probable pig-butchering scammer. The photo is taken in a library, next to the magazine display. I'm trying to date the photo, and wondering if anyone recognizes the person on this Forbes cover.
