“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Did you know that it's bad luck not to eat some Halloween candy before Trick or Treat? [crumples up several candy wrappers]

Good morning to everyone except that guy in my neighborhood who walks his Aussie down the middle of the road and doesn't let the dog sniff anything.

If I had these stamps, I would send so much nonsense mail to my friends & family it would either be hilarious or annoying. Probably both.
Britain's Royal Mail has issued stamps celebrating Monty Python's comedy. The 10-stamp series celebrates some of the troupe’s most iconic characters and catchphrases, from “Nudge, nudge” to “The Lumberjack Song.”

I got a little pay raise at work last week. Yay! But today, I found out my health insurance costs are going up and have almost completely wiped out my little pay raise. So if anyone needs me, I'll be staring at the trees outside my window & eating chocolate all day
