Love a coffee shop vibe, but not coffee. I’m a large cup, one bag of black tea, lots of cream, one raw sugar kinda gal. Not high maintenance at all 😜

This is so lovely and your board book is, too! There is a name for these words and phrases - "familects" - I've got a project in the works around one of mine, too. Great minds 😉https://bit.ly/4hEdVHo

I feel Burger King is misplaced, too - unless he’s got some sort of Gorgeous George thing going

Hi Rachel, 👋 I discovered ELO a little late. That was one of my favorite songs to roll down the windows on a late summer night while driving home on the farm to market roads in quiet west Texas. So glad for an awesome memory on a Sunday morning for you!

Yes, it continues to improve. You can point to affordability and accessibility as positives. But I'm horribly biased (as a voice actor AND a listener). The neurocognitive piece is what I don't think many consider.

Good question. AI is certainly continually improving and at some point, I'm not sure we will be able to tell a difference, but I guess the ? is, will we still know neurocognitively. No voice actors I know are willingly lending their talents, but there is lots of data scraping going on.

The above is a cable from Gen. Eisenhower to Gen. Marshall requesting members of Congress and Journalists to view the newly liberated camps. He knew that people must see it to even begin to comprehend it. We must continue to repeat theses accounts, and never forget. 4/4
