So many people don't actually listen to the lyrics of artists they listen to. Reminds of the people getting in a twist about Roger Waters "getting" political a decade or so ago. Did you not listen to the Wall?

Once again AI manages to get it wrong. Only 5 of the 15 books on the list actually exist. Though most sound relatively interesting at least.

More of the expected incompetence by the Trump administration. Created 2 international incidents this week: couldn't be bothered to see how things were done and didn't think that flying military aircraft to a foreign country would be seen as aggressive and bad.
