I ran the lyrics of God Save the King through Hypertranslate 15 times and it came back with this:

God takes care of queen
Yes, our jury members arrived in the city.
God saved the Lord:
He gave her victory.
Hi chatchat,
The amount of porn is longer than:
How does the Lord live?

Another automatic captioning fail. (You may need to expand the picture). Reba McEntire has a new name… or is it a shoe endorsement?

Newscaster: We go now to our man on the scene, Twas Brillig.

Twas Brillig: (Hand to ear, into mic) The slithy toves are gyring and gimbling in the wabe, Mike.

My unsolicited life advice is to set up a code word with your loved ones that means "This is actually me and not an AI" because apparently this is the world we live in.

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

@terryoinfluence.bsky.social My best blooper from my years in radio was when I skipped a line in an AP sports report: “(so-and-so) was traded to the Dodgers today in exchange for (skipped line) the LA Times and Herald-Examiner.” I lost it.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

@harpersstudio.bsky.social I hope you’ve recovered from last night’s game. The Chiefs took a shellacking.

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social

If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"

The national archives is still doing its job for now.

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:

Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.

That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Steve Austin. Astronaut. A man barely alive.
Insurance denied his initial claim. But we have the technology... and he met his deductible.
We can rebuild him. We can make him better than he was before: stronger, faster, more fiscally responsible. But only up to his $6,000,000 out-of-pocket maximum.

45 years ago today in Cincinnati, The Who performed at Riverfront Coliseum. 11 fans were killed in a crush of attendees vying for “festival seating”.
