I've never heard Shake it off. I listen mostly to YouTube, which never recommends her. Maybe she's more Apple/Spotify? I would think I'd hear a song of her around town some where. I don't know what she sounds like,

On Christmas day after dinner we were sitting around chit chatting and the subject of Taylor Swift came up. I mentioned I thought it was odd I didn't know any of her songs. I could name songs by Lana del Ray, Adele, Amy Winehouse and B

Claude is a good AI but when it starts lecturing me I turn to Bard, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Pi. I've learned to avoid Claude for questions when I know it will repond with a scold. Pi is usually a good alternative in this case.

As a life long Californian, when people tell me California is running out of water my response that California is running out of cheap water. Calfornia farmers pay $30 to $120 for an acre foot (325,851 gallons or 1,233 cubic meters) which i

The funny thing to me about conspiracy theorists is that they read theories in an overly credulous manner if it confirms a bias and then they take their own theories as fact. People like me, like most of us I imagine, think "this is a
