Remember that slimy, racist, sexist, LGBTI-hating GOP senator, Rick Santorum? And, how activist Dan Savage, coined a neologism is his honour that's become what people first think of when they hear Santorum's name? The phenomenon was known as "Santorum's Google problem".
That was all the way back in 2003, and the Internet wasn't quite what it was compared with today.Today, there are billions more people on the Internet, Google has a monopoly on online search, memes travel far and wide at the speed of light, and information in our news-cycle is amplified and accelerated by AI.
If you're searching for delight in this 2024 election circus, J.D. Vance has cemented his place in people's minds for all of history as the Couch Fucker.

Funding for many of NOAA’s programs could plummet in 2025,
and the agency already suffers from occasional telecommunications breakdowns, including a recent alert-system outage amid flooding in the Midwest.
It is also subject to political pressures: In 2019, the agency backed then-President Trump’s false claim
(accompanied by a seemingly Sharpie-altered map)
that Hurricane Dorian was headed for Alabama -
Privatizing the weather is not a new conservative aim.
Nearly two decades ago, when the National Weather Service updated its website to be more user-friendly,
#Barry #Myers, then executive vice president of #AccuWeather, complained to the press that
“we work very hard every day competing with other companies, and we also have to compete with the government.”In 2005, after meeting with a representative from AccuWeather, then-Senator #Rick #Santorum introduced a bill calling for the NWS to cease competition with the private sector, and reserve its forecasts for commercial providers.
The bill never made it out of committee. But in 2017, #Trump picked #Myers to lead NOAA.
(Myers withdrew his nomination after waiting two years for Senate confirmation.)

After the #Ohio referendum loss for #BananaRepublicans , #RickSantorum called #abortion “sexy”.
As guest host of The Daily Show, #SarahSilverman was hilariously ‘oozing’ with disgust for #Santorum. 😂

“Ron DeSantorum.” That’s it!
It’s eluded me for a while, but THAT suits the jackass perfectly — for more than a few reasons.
