Port Huron Times Herald, November 12, 1966. I did not know Leonard Nimoy based Spock's speech patterns on Somerset Maugham! Remarkable.
"Spock probably learned English formally. To achieve this kind of speech pattern I listened to recordings of Somerset Maugham reading his own short stories."

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

“OpenAI is getting ready to run hat in hand to the taxpayer for subsidies.” After losing more than $13 billion this year, OpenAI officials are angling for a bailout. From @ryanlcooper.com:

For artificial intelligence to ever pencil out, some truly enormous revenue streams will be required. And if you need trillions of dollars for data centers forever, there’s only one entity to turn to: Uncle Sam.

I know a bunch of Christians are worried today about a muslim winning an election. As a Christian pastor, I tell you: The idea that Islam and the Koran are intrinsically violent is only a fair reading if you also admit the Bible is intrinsically violent.

That’s a lot of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and far too many evil Nestle Kit Kats. (Any number of Nestle products is too much.)
And we have now progressed from data analysis to policy recommendations.
I told her that we'd calculate the cash value of her candy haul, that I'd ask her to raid her piggy bank and donate 1/3 the candy cash value to a local food bank, and that I'd add on a 5X match.
