This song was omnipresent in my childhood. So many early mornings with this crap on the radio. Inescapable.
But this video did remind me of "Concrete Sea", which I kind of liked when I was a kid?

You know where this is going. I went to BRef and found the box score for July 22, 1986, when Ken Griffey Sr. hit 3 HR against the Phillies. AI is somehow world-transforming and inevitable but also worse than both a normal website and also my memory from 40 years ago.

Not sure what adding all of these Conservatives means for the Liberals as a caucus, but it's not great for Poilievre and that's fine with me for now.

Really starting to lose it over how a bunch of dimwit app empowered cretins don’t even know that making a movie can be a once in a lifetime adventure you do with people, actors and crews coming together collectively to make art, and visiting sets is one of the best experiences you could ever have.
Writers if you could drop your novel or short story into an AI and have it make a great and watchable movie out of your story, and you could sell that movie, would you do it? #writers #WritingCommunity
