So disappointed to realize that #WFUV laid off two of the most knowledgeable, erudite and mellifluous DJ's on the air, Darren DeVivo and Eric Holland. You will be missed, guys!

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

So, encouraged, nay mandated, to get a new PC so as to run Windows 11, I have bought said item. Now explain to me why Windows 11 is better than Windows 10? They seem pretty similar to me. (Except the Taskbar is centered, wow!).

Everyone at Aberdeen FC is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Aberdeen born football legend Denis Law.
One of Scotland’s greatest ever players, his legacy will live on in the North-east.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

So I'm compiling a Spinning Playlist, and Spotify is hilariously playing Johnny Cash "Ring of Fire" when the track listing is "Foot Tapper" by the Shadows! (Neither of which will make it into tomorrow's playlist!)

A friend told me about this app. I had not previously heard of it. The Storygraph is a book reading app which is not corporate owned. I have signed up and will see which one I prefer. It means doing double updates for a while, but such is research. See HuffPost: www.huffpost.com/entry/storyg...
