I was going thru all the videos I took on Dua Lipa’s #RadicalOptimism concert and I got emotional 🥹 I waited a very long time to see her live. She and her music mean so much to me. Her music puts me in a better mood. She truly makes you love life. Her energy is captivating! Thank you, Dua ❤️

Nights like this are the best. All the trouble of the world is momentarily set aside while we're collectively marveling at the pretty lights and nature together. This is how it's supposed to be. Life, I mean. Shared joy and all. 🙂

I can see them and I live in the city (well on the edge, but still closely populated with a bit of light pollution) so even if you’re in a city try it!

I have also seen that people as far south as NC can see them tonight!
If you live anywhere in the North half of the US I don't think you'll even need to go outside smaller cities to see them. My partner can set them from inside Cedar Rapids! #aurora #northernlights

I’ve been fortunate enough to see the #AuroraBorelais or #NorthernLights from my home over the last two years. I wasn’t expecting it to be here tonight but saw alerts people could see it. I could actually see it with my naked eye again! Still a very cool thing to see!

German court rules that OpenAI violated copyright laws by training ChatGPT on music 🎵

Ya know when actors talk about a dark, violent, or depressing role after the fact then they describe it like it actually happened to them. It’s almost like they have PTSD from a role or something. Just so sad…glad she got better but just wow….
Florence Pugh Says ‘Midsommar’ Led to Six Months of Depression Because ‘I’d Abused Myself’: ‘I Just Can’t Exhaust Myself Like That’ Again
Florence Pugh will never take a role like Dani in 'Midsommar' again after it led to mental abuse and depression for months.

I’ll believe it when I see it!
After refusing to convene the U.S. House during the government shutdown, Speaker Mike Johnson is recalling lawmakers back into session — and facing an avalanche of pent-up legislative demands from those who have largely been sidelined from governing. https://to.pbs.org/3LFa4yR

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

She kept using ChatGPT and failing, then she yelled at it when she would fail. Then she would use it again.

I mean sure blame whomever you want, but maybe you shouldn’t have used ChatGPT so many times if you kept failing after using it.

It’s really that simple.
