So it’s just straight up plagiarizing Wikipedia?
Wikipedia screen shot: “The Golden Retriever is a Scottish breed of retriever dog of medium-large size. It is characterised by a gentle and affectionate nature and a striking golden coat. It is a working dog, and registration is subject to successful completion of a working trial. 2) It is commonly kept as a companion dog and is among the most frequently registered breeds in several Western countries; some may compete in dog shows or obedience trials, or work as guide dogs.” Grok screen shot: “Golden Retriever The Golden Retriever is a Scottish breed of retriever dog of medium size. It is characterised by a gentle and affectionate nature and a striking golden coat. It is a working dog used as a gundog 21, and registration is subject to successful completion of a working trial.

EpiscoBot sounds like a character from Futurama who would rob you
Text with Jesus is part of a rising trend of faith-based digital technologies that Axios calls a "digital awakening" and it's in good company with apps such as bible.ai and desktop options like EpiscoBot

If anyone else isn’t seeing the Aurora, know that I dragged my whole family out, and this is the sky where we live
Mostly cloudy sky over the angry Sound. In the distance are lights from the Kitsap Penninsula. There is no aurora

A jar filled with moonshine and a dead snake, hawk feathers, hawk talons, porcupine quills, small skulls, snakeskins, deer antler that’s been chewed on

I made a mock-up of Bezos’s plans for space:
On the left is the full moon under the word “before.” On the right is an American Highway full of gas stations and fast food under the word “After.”

Crime in the movies- we train for months, hack the security system, disable the night guards with roundhouse kicks, and sneak out the air vents

Crime in real life-we show up in the middle of the day with a wheelbarrow and just walk off with a giant coin
From the New York Times: Bode Museum, Berlin, 2017: Thieves stole a giant gold coin worth several million euros, rolling it out in a wheelbarrow.

Fixed it for you
It is clear that Mr. Trump's image can't be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway. By Alan Rappeport www.nvtimes.com/2025/10/03/b...

This one stuck out to me-those who were opposed to Trumpism until they saw it was ascendant. “His code is not his own…he fits easily into whatever pattern is successful.”
Mr. B has risen beyond his real abilities by virtue of health, good looks, and being a good mixer. He married for money and he has done lots of other things for money. His code is not his own; it is that of his class-no worse, no better, He fits easily into whatever pattern is successful. That is his sole measure of value-success. Nazism as a minority movement would not attract him. As a movement likely to attain power, it would.
