Alice and Bob are Spotify friends.

Alice sets up a playlist "Funny Comedy Songs" with Adam Sandler's "Somebody Kill Me" on it.

Bob views Alice's playlist.

Bob's parents get an alert: "Message from Bob to Alice: Somebody Kill Me"

Extremely slim chance anyone following me uses the Bark app for monitoring their kids' online activity but it currently has a terrible bug with its Spotify monitoring.

In short, it assumes the song titles in playlists are direct messages from the monitored child to one of their friends.

I wonder whether the employment opportunities relative to the 90s have much to do with it. Unis don't really compete with the ADF for school leavers but when unemployment is low we have a harder time recruiting and I wonder if that's the same.

It’s not just that the actor who played the Cigarette Smoking Man is a competitive water skier, but it’s important to realize there’s a three minute video of him water skiing that you can watch.

It's a good interface for tools that can be difficult to access in other ways but aren't strictly genAI, like ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini all have world-class OCR modules

My guess is an eastern koel - many people are not fond of its overnight calling behaviour: birdlife.org.au/bird-profile...

Eastern Koel - BirdLife Australia

The male Eastern Koel has a glossy black plumage and red eye. In contrast, the female is brown-white-cream with many fine black bars and has a black crown.
