I adopted a girl and boy from the same litter. They went to the vet separately because the girl kitty is very difficult to catch!

I had to take my new kitten to the vet for a vaccination, this week. She's pretty skittish, so I was expecting problems. She was actually OK once we got in to see the vet. But, she nearly took my arm off getting her into the box!

#uspol From The Borowitz Report...
'WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a daring daytime mission on Monday, aircraft from the European members of NATO flew over the White House and sprayed its airspace with antipsychotic medication.
All NATO leaders signed off on the plan with the exception of the UK’s Keir Starmer, who proposed inviting Donald Trump to yet another state dinner.
Explaining the rationale behind the mission, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said, “We saw his letter to me as a cry for help.”
On the decision to deploy antipsychotic meds, Stoere added, “We were uniquely qualified to do this because our drug prices are far lower than in the U.S.”
Stressing that the NATO members did not take their decision lightly, the Norwegian PM said, “We had been hoping that Congress would intervene, but we were left with no other choice.” '

I'm a bit surprised that businesses in regional centres like this don't band together to build "worker accommodation". That, at least, would keep them supplied with seasonal / backpacker workers. But, I guess that's a bit long-term thinking for most Australian businesses. 🤷‍♀️

I don't actually want an #AI assisted answer. I just want a search engine that works. Most of all, I don't want a search engine that completely fabricates answers.
I agree that AI should be opt-in. But, then, hardly anyone would use it, because it hasn't been developed to the point where it is actually useful, yet.

Google used to have a reputation as the go-to search engine that could find whatever you needed. Now, it's completely trashing that with this AI slop. Why have a summary that you can't trust at all? It seems like a losing strategy to me. 🤷‍♀️

I did a Google search for previous examples of a very specific type of incident for work. The #AI summary cited an example that was just what I was looking for. But, when I went to check the source, the #AI summary changed, because there was no such incident. The AI had completely made it up to match my search. If I had used that without checking for a corroborating source, I would've looked a right fool. What is the possible use for such as system?🤷‍♀️

Exactly. Instead of just giving money to developers, they should be putting money into housing for the people that the private developers leave behind.

#auspol Journos on #Insiders saying what a nice guy Peter Dutton is really. This is a guy who spent millions of public money to destroy the life of a young refugee family, sending them to Christmas Island so their lawyers would have trouble advising them.

Most regulations are a response to an intolerable situation. While I agree that regulations can build up to be excessively bureaucratic over time, the underlying need for the regulations remain. The answer is smarter regulations, not deregulation.

#uspol Looking at it objectively, people have been predicting the decline and fall of the USA for decades. Likened to the fall of the Roman Empire, we are watching the end of USA's overwhelming influence that it has enjoyed since the end of the cold war. The world is re-shaping, which will be fraught until the new world order is settled.
