I saw a clip of a judge scolding an attorney in court because the attorney cited a case that was completely fabricated by Ai. Good on the judge for knowing it, but that's the point about critical thinking; lose that and you wind up having people in positions that hold other peoples' lives in their hands, making ill-informed decisions.
As for the article about vaccines, all I can say is, the way the Covid vaccines were forced upon us, or we lost our businesses, livelihoods, social standing and more, there is a very big mistrust of all vaccines now. I'm not saying it's good or bad, I'm just saying, you reap what you sow.
I'd love to read the 'free' article about the kitten, but the NYT insists I create an account. My personal info isn't free and, apparently, neither is the article.
Love the Dolly article. I wasn't a fan of her music per se, but I was a fan of the woman who was so comfortable in her own skin that nothing could touch her. Fun fact: my mother was pregnant with my little sister who, the docs told her was going to be a boy, and they would name Joseph Michael after my grandfather and father respectively. When she was born my parents decided Joseph Michael was not a good name for her, so mom made up the name Jolene. Michelle would be her middle name. A few years later, Dolly came out with that song, and while searching for my sister in a department store, because she loved hiding in the racks, some woman approached my mom and asked what my sister's name was. When mom told her, the woman laughed and said, "that's my dog's name". Mom wasn't impressed, especially because the woman walked away and didn't bother to help this frantic woman search for her child.
My heart goes out to all the people in Nepal. It is beyond imagination and something difficult to wrap y mind around. So many devastating weather-related events in our world that does not have climate change or global warming. Let’s use tax money to close wind farms and push for more coal and natural gas powered energy production /s
He mocks vaccines while getting vaccinated.
He pushes “Buy American” while selling foreign‑made merchandise.
He demands action against undocumented workers while his own properties hired them.
He attacks mail‑in voting while voting by mail.
He rages about classified information while mishandling it.
And now he’s falling asleep on the job after calling Joe Biden “Sleepy.”
The hypocrisy is staggering.
I agree with one thing Trump said…that smart people don't like him!
Man, I love Understandably. I’m about to stop looking at Freebie Friday and the Things Worth Knowing, though. More and more of the articles require a subscription. Even free subscriptions result in copious amounts of spam, making them not worth it. Thanks for trying, but they are making it too cumbersome and annoying to click the links.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Dolly Parton also wrote thousands of songs for others, including rock, rap & soul, not just country.
Thank you for including the kitten story - and it's a tuxie no less! We all need a bit of purr now and then. <3
Article on AI - Yes Bill Gates! It seems he has nailed it!

Can’t wait to dig into these when I have more time to digest them better. Good selection Bill.
