Poor Taylor Swift! If you are up to reading a rather bizarre (and entirely fictional AI generated) tale about a group of determined locals seeking to persuade Taylor Swift to write a song about their hometown hero, this is for you! https://t.co/KJD79vOKrF

In Costco today, I engaged in an incredible act of kindness. An elderly woman was handling a thirty-five can case of Seltzer water but was clearly not having much success. I offered to lift the item into her shopping cart.

My interview on HUMAN Possibility (https://t.co/XiecD2VGIG) can be heard on Apple Podcasts (https://t.co/sWTBDCiHPT) and Spotify (https://t.co/aCr8OXCTDj). Elena and her students did an amazing job on the production!

It would be inappropriate for the FL to change her name to Daisy without the express consent of Disney and an agreement on royalties.

How upset would you be if the universe failed to take any action on an executive order by Donald J. Trump changing the value of epsilon, the parameter of the strong nuclear force, even if the order had been upheld by the Supreme Court? https://t.co/PURgnuyURQ

This year during Thanksgiving, are you planning to express you frustration over and vehement disapproval of those who fail to show sufficient gratitude?

The hard drive on my office computer went in search of greener pastures last Friday. Fortunately, I had n backed up and had been scheduled to receive a new computer which will arrive tomorrow. Nevertheless, a broken hard drive can be almost as painful as a broken heart!

@JennRichler "Psychological science" might sound more convincing in a grant proposal. "Psychology" might sound less intimidating to the general public. ;)

Would it be fair if Kenny Loggins' family and friends did agree to celebrate him home but insisted playing opera rather than his songs to make the event classier?

[Lars Perner @larsperner]

It would be rather sad if members of Kenny Loggins' family showed reluctance to celebrate him home out of a concern that this might create a precedent that could call on them to celebrate their respective mothers-in-law home, too.

Was Barry Manilow ever able to reach a conclusion as to when the long yearning in question would end?

[Lars Perner @larsperner]

A song with the lyrics "I saw Mommy kicking Santa Claus" might send an inappropriate message to impressionable young children that violence is an effective way to extort gifts and acquire material possessions.

If Abraham Maslow had instead chosen to be a blogger on animal nutrition, writing entries evaluating the relative quality of the different brands, he might instead have been known for Maslow's Hierarchy of Feeds.
