Picture research is becoming utterly impossible.
I just did an image search on DuckDuckGo and, of the first 80 results, a minimum of 53 were #AI. A further handful was ambiguous.
Is there any way to block sites from appearing in searches?

Iin the early 20th century, The Delta was America’s raw edge—a place where history and economy, race and labor, collided with a ferocity that shaped the American story. To those who labored in the humid summers of that region, the fields seemed endless, stretching flat and wide like a white and green ocean under the sun.

@Richard_Littler brilliant!

Also, this is entertaining if you haven't read it https://books.google.com/books/about/Harpo_Speaks.html?id=XCR14V7uMbsC

Harpo Speaks!

(Limelight). "This is a riotous story which is reasonably mad and as accurate as a Marx brother can make it. Despite only a year and a half of schooling, Harpo, or perhaps his collaborator, is the best writer of the Marx Brother. Highly recommended." Library Journal "A funny, affectionate and unpretentious autobiography done with a sharply professional assist from Rowland Barber." New York Times Book Review

@tef I've been doing this shit for 25 years and the only thing that really gets good software delivered is having at least one person who really, really cares about doing a good job of it and will treat finding an effective, specific management approach for a given team as just another part of the problem at hand

@mitsuhiko thank you for these thoughts, you've summarised well some of the things I'm struggling with here. I strongly believe most people are fundamentally good yet we see over half of the population make choices that seem to me obviously harmful to other good people.

Also "One of the things that I gradually learned is wishing others to succeed." - this is a really hard thing to be honest about and I completely empathise.
