Perry and I went to Cracker Barrel for pancakes over the weekend. I LOVE their pancakes, you guys. I would’ve been happy with Waffle House and an order of scattered, smothered, and covered, but Perry is OUT on that. He got sick after eating there 10+ years ago and we’ve not been back since.

Perry looks like a farmer in the selfie above, so I ask ChatGPT to change that image based upon what it knew about us. What I got was a Perry who looks like he’s pissed off at the world. Maybe because his drill is missing a bit? Or maybe, ChatGPT just happened to know he was replacing a light in the closet at the exact time I asked for the photo manipulation?
**Queue up some Twilight Zone music vibes**…

We look more like we’re out to ambush some zombies rather than heading to eat pancakes. I’m pretty sure with those power tools, we’ll escape with no problem, and I’m sure to capture the whole thing on camera and likely get some big award for doing so.
Images & video made to look real via AI can look authentic.
There’s a lot of talk on social media about Netanyahu — some speculate he’s dead — because of a video released of him a few days ago. Those saying it’s an AI fake point to a spot in the clip where it looks like there might be a 5th finger on one hand, and it appears he’s lost some molars a bit later in the video. Others say it’s really him and shadows are causing the play on what we see.
Who even knows anymore?
Those little snow pebbles… 🥶
Yesterday, I had windows open before the rain, and the A/C on once it started raining in. It was 75°! This morning, I saw white stuff on the top of the hot tub cover and thought it was ash blown there by the high winds we’re STILL having this morning. But no! It was little snow pebbles!

That means we went from 75° yesterday and have a forecasted low today of 25°… no matter where you live, a 50° drop is crazy.
Now you know: In 1441, a mapmaking error created a tiny independent Republic in Italy that lasted for 385 years.
