Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the bookstore... It is! Because sharks rarely hurt humans and are unfairly treated like monsters rather than the beautiful animals they are! Plus most sharks do not go in bookstores.
Also Blahaj here has incredible taste in literature.

I would like to gently request that AI pharmacy bots stop trying to kill my mother
Recently, I got a notice from my new pharmacy provider that they wouldn’t cover my thyroid medication and bizarrely suggested insulin instead! I need my thyroid medication. Then a couple of days ago, they called and told me to disregard the letter they had sent. AI is such a time and labor saver!

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.
