Good read on something I’m seeing/hearing more and more. “When the storytellers become synthetic, we must double down on humanity. When the therapists are artificial, let’s ensure the care is still real.” #AI #MentalHealthAwareness www.fastcompany.com/91435383/whe...

The new Dropkick Murphys track honoring Welles Remy Crowther is an unsurprising banger, and a wonderful tribute. #dropkickmurphys #wellescrowther #NewMusicFriday youtu.be/BTnTM8o1__0?...

We’re giving up a LOT, here. Probably too much. And creating questions in the process. Better hope that pays off. #ForTheshoe
