This gets posted once in a while and I always, without fail, think of Ginsburg.

Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! Moloch whose blood is running money! Moloch whose fingers are ten armies! Moloch whose breast is a cannibal dynamo! Moloch whose ear is a smoking tomb!

And whenever anything here reminds me of Ginsberg, I always, without fail, remember:

“The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads.” –Jeff Hammerbacher

For the uninitiated (like myself)

Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" starts with the line:

"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness"

Yeah, I literally heard that line in my head immediately after reading the title of this post.

What else are we supposed to think of?
