LOL well CharlesDarwin, you know, they’re too evolved for prison … they just go hide somewhere until everyone forgets…

But lots and LOTS of people are resigning their jobs around the world. The last one will be the, uh, cherry on top.

“It’s bad for our industry, it’s bad for our country, it’s bad for consumers.”

I think they (accidentally, of course) left out the people that it’s worst for.

Once these guys are gone, where are the Better Business Bureaus gonna find smarmy guys in suits?

Many dozens of major hit songs in the pre-Beatles 50s and 60s were covers of sons previously recorded by black artists. The covering bands & labels did not have to get permission to cover the songs … the laws allowed anyone to record them it without negotiating a license, but still had to pay the statutory royalty fees.

Before Alan Freed, black music was not played on most radio stations.

From the article:

"A total of 178 out of the 3,078 articles came back as flagged for AI … About half of our staff spent a month during summer 2025 painstakingly reviewing the text from these 178 articles…

Far more insidious, however, was something else we discovered: More than two-thirds of these articles failed verification. That means the article contained a plausible-sounding sentence, cited to a real, relevant-sounding source. But when you read the source it’s cited to, the information on Wikipedia does not exist in that specific source."

This is the guy who bankrupted 4 casinos. Clearly what he’s best at.

then you develop policies and commence actions to drive that imagery to make it a reality.”

Not enough reality for too many years.

Cash they’ve got. Jail time for CEOs will work better.

Still Boss.

Richard Stallman sez we should call it ‘PI’ … pretend intelligence.

because … if we don’t live by the rule of law … they’ll be out of work?

Headline suggests that this is an observed fact, rather than the result of a simulation based on a model created by several EU scientists.

Furthermore the article asserts that “The observed motions … can only be properly explained with this “flat” mass distribution.” That premature assertion, based on this paper

will have to stand up in the court of opinion of scientific peers. I hope to see Sabine go after that headline.

Single ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale’ is released by brand-new baroque rock band Procol Harum. (It’s heard on their Sep. 1967 eponymous debut album (UK#26, US#47).

It shortly climbs to UK#1, US#5. Written by Gary Brooker (1945-2022) and Keith Reid (before the band formed, after the breakup of The Paramounts), it’s one of the most beautiful creations in pop music history.

The essential organ part is played by Matthew Fisher. The organ: Hammond M102.

In 2004 PPL report that it is the most-played song in England for the last 70 years. Interestingly, it was -not- included on the UK release of the band’s first album! ¤

The most played track at the Beatles’ Pepper press bash was Procul Harum’s ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale’, issued the week before Pepper. Lennon played the song non-stop on his Rolls Royce’s portable record player all the way to the party. It has been covered more than 1000 times.

1977’s first Brit Awards names ‘Whiter Shade’, along with ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, the Best British Pop Single 1952-1977.

The band’s following albums produce more well-received singles (e.g. ‘Homburg’(1967), the incredible ‘A Salty Dog’(1969)  )  while breaking respectably into the top-40s. The band breaks up in 1977, reforms in 1991. Singer-songwriter Gary Brooker is awarded an OBE in 2003. Twelfth & last album Novum is released in 2017.

Crazy in the best possible way

That’s a classic and welcome comic style. Nailed it!

Profit?

Or, ‘P’ as in trickle-down?

That’s a really fancy way to say ‘dumb terminals to the mainframe’ … only without wires.

Now … about that Monorail that voters approved multiple times …

“every eight minutes during peak times at these new stations, and every 10-15 minutes the rest of the day”

Will that be like the buses? that are on average every 15 minutes, but sometimes 20 and sometimes 10?
