I (a Cubs fan) once gave a very close friend (a Cardinals fan) Cubs tickets for his birthday. You don’t get many opportunities to gently troll a pope …
Pope Leo is a longtime fan of the Chicago White Sox. Some people can’t seem to keep it straight.
Once Again: The Pope Likes That Other Chicago Team, Not the Cubs

Legend. May her memory be a blessing.
Marilyn Hagerty, a food columnist who startled the online world with an earnestly detail-oriented and nonjudgmental appraisal of a North Dakota Olive Garden, and who was startled in turn when the review racked up more than one million page views, has died. She was 99.

“The chicken Alfredo ($10.95) was warm and comforting on a cold day,” she wrote from North Dakota. And suddenly the national media made her a celebrity.

I get, and share, the concerns about using AI in this way. But this was also a very cool experiment to fill in the gaps on Smile. Does it help that it was so lovingly and painstakingly done?
