I’d say New Hampshire. Most double name states—New Jersey, North Carolina…—would sound better as one name band names—Jersey, Carolina…. But Hampshire is an even worse band name than New Hampshire.

According to A.i. slop, Porcelain Bobby Hill is a side-sleeping fireman. Or at least that's according to Sleep Digest Publication, perhaps the most trustworthy source on the topic.
A.i. slop ad featuring what clearly appears to be a porcelain Bobby Hill, staring dead-eyed into the camera while lying on its side in a bed and wearing a black tee that looks to have a fire department logo.  The headline: "Side Sleepers Get Achy Shoulders, Few Know This "Side Sleeper" Trick"  -- Sleep Digest Publication.
Also, there's somebody in the background with a fancy film camera filming something.  For some reason.

Every so often, when kayaking on lakes or rivers locally, I hear a distinct knocking noise from the bottom of the kayak. In my head, I know it’s driftwood or water plants. My heart always pauses and says “are you SURE.” I never ever say “come in” even as joke. What if it isn’t a plant or driftwood?

This urgent care app offers Middle English as a patient’s preferred language in the drop down menu. I imagine a Chaucer scholar getting yanked from their university and transported by helicopter like Amy Adams’s character in Arrival. “Wife of Bath is bleeding out. We need you to interpret ASAP!”
Screenshot of a self check-in app for an urgent care. A drop down menu lists the preferred languages a patient can choose from. Languages visible in the picture include:

Egyptian (ancient)
Ekajuk
Elamite

English, middle (1100-1500)
English, old (ca. 450-1100)
