Imagine you being the clients realizing your megabuck legal fees ultimately went to feed an AI model to argue against itself.

    There were a couple books (fiction) about these librarians that I enjoyed a while back. One was The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes. I remember my mom-in-law coming out of my sunroom saying, “I love this book!” She was in early stages of dementia then; she doesn’t read any more. So thanks for the article, and also for the sweet memory!

    Tornadoes are the worst. They worry me more than hurricanes. I've experienced one. It was a calm day and all of a sudden the wind was moving 60 mph down the street. It took a lot of pieces of mobile homes and trees with it. Inside was the place to be. A mobile home in a park opposite mine had a house lift off its foundation and land flipped upside down in the middle of the street. An old woman was in the mobile home finding her cat as it was tossed into the air. They both walked out alive. I haven't found a combination of a sudden, seemingly random weather event, with the kind of with this level of violence. They happen routinely here but not often.

    In seriousness, people keep saying this happened today, but he’s owned the same amount of SpaceX for a long time. It’s just that it became easier to estimate the value of his stake today. He was a trillionaire last month too.

    This is great. I’ve always been somewhat skeptical of hydrogen since, to date, it has basically been a battery technology not a true energy source. But this is different. Apparently there are around 2x the recoverable reserves of hydrogen as there are of nat gas. I had no idea!

    Out for a walk around a local Wildlife Trust area with ponds and river and there were loads of ox eye daisy, flocks and campion. And lovely water lilies [image: 1781236077354-20260607_120015-resized.jpg] Meanwhile my sisters garden is in full bloom with yellow scabious [image: 1781236426195-20260609_130953.jpg] A pure white peony [image: 1781236447723-20260609_130813-resized.jpg] And rampant fragrant rose with clematis [image: 1781236523498-20260609_130719.jpg]
