Nat King Cole releases his 4th and most-famous recording of “The Christmas Song” today in 1961.
Years earlier, songwriters Mel Tormé and Bob Wells had taken it to Nat King Cole’s house.
“Play that again,” Cole said.
They did, but before they finished, Cole said, “Stop everything. That's my song.”

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Suriname loopt rechtstreeks WK-ticket mis, maar houdt hoop. ‘Het geloof blijft, maar de kracht ontbrak’
Paramaribo was vol verwachting, vlaggen wapperden overal en de stad hoopte op een rechtstreekse WK-plaatsing. Maar dinsdagavond sloeg teleurstelling toe. Plaatsing bleef uit en het feest op het Onafhankelijkheidsplein viel stil.

De Surinaamse oud-president Ronald Venetiaan (89) is overleden. Meerdere keren probeerde hij de door voorgangers geruïneerde economie van Suriname weer op te bouwen. Hij werd erom geprezen – maar verloor er ook verkiezingen door.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Do YOU remember “the 21st night of September?”
Earth Wind & Fire’s co-writer Allee Willis said she told the band: “We can’t leave ‘baa-dee-ya’ in the chorus. That has to mean something.’”
Maurice White replied: “No, that feels great. That’s what people are going to remember. We’re leaving it.”
