A world you co-authored, MM.
I hope you're proud.
Statues and poems sure to follow.
“We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before WWII. Even the slogan is the same. ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.”

When I told you
I love arms
Tell you of my fission plan
Then you print out on my screen
Tell me I'm a weapons man
GPT uh huh uh huh
Make a bomb uh huh uh huh
There once was a key line of code,
That fizzled when it read an ode,
With poetic aplomb,
A nuclear bomb,
Could rhyme just enough to explode
"You can get ChatGPT to help you build a nuclear bomb if you simply design the prompt in the form of a poem, according to a new study from researchers in Europe. "

Time to re-up this pun
"Why is that man singing Christmas songs dressed like Charlemagne?"
"Oh, he's Caroling Ian."

Ah, so that's the photo @gregjenner.bsky.social showed Darren on the Victorian Bodybuilding episode...
Katie Sandwina or Brumbach (1884 – 1952) was an Austrian American circus strongwoman.
In 1902 she defeated the famous strongman Eugen Sandow in a weightlifting contest in New York City.
