HOLY FUCKING FUCK THEY KILLED THE CIA WORLD FACTBOOK

@researchbuzz I can't be livid all the time, but...

@researchbuzz

@researchbuzz welp. time to figure out if we can remember where we put the personal copy we took a while back

@researchbuzz burn it all down

@Researchbuzz pro russia moves continue for #TrumpIsARussianAsset

@Researchbuzz Wow, did they even announce it ahead of time or were the CIA-approved facts contradicting the president too often...?

@ireneista @Researchbuzz If you don't mind digging through structured data instead of HTML, I sometimes pull the latest version of https://github.com/factbook/factbook.json for projects.

@researchbuzz WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

@researchbuzz We are past post fact.

@researchbuzz@resear

How can you have a fact book when you don't have facts. Besides you can ask AI anything and it will make something up.

@researchbuzz @vmstan “FACTS” are woke I guess?

@Researchbuzz Did they also get rid of their archive of past issues? The link I have just goes to the "saying goodbye" page, and there's another page on its history, but I'm having a hard time finding the actual published editions they used to have on the site. (A bunch of other sites have various editions, but I'm hoping there's still an "official" archive somewhere.)

@researchbuzz oh no.... the.... CIA world factbook....oh no. Someone, stop, please.

The CIA? Its always confusing to me when I see people claiming something the CIA is connected to is a good idea. Does anyone know what the CIA is? Hint: people around the world - most of it - see it like your average american sees the defunct KGB. It isnt welcome. Its well known and notorious, and it has caused massive suffering and violated democratic principles for its entire existence.
