This is a good example of why I am not a fan of the pivot to podcasts/audio articles. It says it takes 6 minutes to read (actually about 3 mins max), but 9 minutes to listen to. Audio is just such a SLOW way to consume words.

The Shadows & Secrets Halloween remix of Steps's Scared of the Dark is very silly (mostly because it's not really silly enough) but it's very hard to ruin their best song.

Almost as good as this, but alas I do not think Bloom is being satirical like Holland. “I’ll read a bit of Buddhism” “Then i’ll check on my daughter, who’s usually up” “I spend a lot of my time dreaming about roles for myself and others - fr minorities and women”.

If I don't keep my car roadworthy and crash into yours, it hasn't gone "rogue", it's my negligence and I'm responsible. If my dog attacks you, I am liable. There are no rogue AIs, just negligent AI companies. Prosecute them.

It’s a little known fact that all the words associated with paying to see the Bayeux Tapestry are derived from Anglo-Saxon while all the words for being invited to see it by a corporate sponsor derive from French.

The reason there are no penguins at the North Pole is because the polar bears eat them.
How to start describing this? Standing upright polar bear decorations with see-through bellies, in each of which are penguins with Christmas trees. The bears are wearing red scarves if that matters.
