Joke of the week:
Melania: "I came to the USA on an Epstein visa!"
T-Rump: "No! Not Epstein! It was an Einstein visa! You know, the one reserved for Nobel Prize winners."
Melania: "Oh. Who's Einstein?"
RIP Rick Davies, one of the truly great ones. Do yourself a favor and put on a set of headphones and give Even in the Quietest Moments a listen. It's the kind of album that isn't made anymore, and that you need headphones to really appreciate. Absolutely brilliant IMHO, especially Fool's Overture.
Worth a watch. and worth noting that this report is from PBS, which, as we’re painfully aware, is under attack by Trumpists. youtu.be/nunPaBf2aoM?...

Phil ol' buddy, you mos' def oughta work on yer French per-nunication ;-)
This app needs an LOL emoji.
I promise to be polite, Mark. To you, at least. I reserve the right to flame shit heads when I see them.
That's some pretty squirrelly data, eh? Back in the day when I used to work on autonomous flying machines, we'd say that the vehicle had entered "terrain burrowing mode."
Ah - You were more thorough than I was :-)
Not looking good. Shouldn't take but a minute to get a ping from the lander.
Yep. And I'm really rooting for these guys, but golly, they have a lot to learn about how to stream a landing attempt.
Where did you see the telemetry data? I'm really rooting for these guys, but golly their broadcast is pretty bogus.
Eat poop #Elon. #Starship is little more than a monument to your outsized ego. #GaryLarson called it years ago.
Summertimes in #Montreal are very cool. Block off the streets, turn them over to the people. This is how a city should live. #urbanPlanners babeee.
Help. The #UnitedStates is being run by a bunch of greedy, incompetent, racist lunatics.
The beginning of a chat with my buddy in #Kyiv this morning. When I get up in the morning and read about an attack in the capital, I always ask her if she’s OK. Her response this morning says it all. Slava #Ukraini. Please help us defend #Ukraine.
Gift-sharing The Atlantic article from my subscription 'cuz everyone should read it. But of course, Trump voters won't. Hats off to them; the moron they elected to be POTUS brought a clown bus full of knuckleheads with him. But we knew that would happen.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

That's pretty interesting. I've rarely found a one inch grape, though, and cumquats are a bit too oblong. Bottom line: Methinks AI systems need to add more fruits and vegetables to their diets.
I was working on a presentation to give to some kids/prospective engineering students - "How to Land on the Moon" - Wanted to make a scale model earth/moon using fruit - Decided to be lazy and have AI calculate the sizes/distances and look what happened :-o.
Phil: Look how stupid AI can be :-o
