" 'MEATBALL' looter begs for bail money, asks followers to send money"

"According to the New York Post, she told her 196,000 followers that: 'All I want to do is go treat myself'
and plugged her Cash App handle for her followers ... also posted on her Instagram asking users to
‘go bless her’ and said frequently that she wanted to get her 'toes done' "

When your toes are done locked up in a jail cell, you needs even more money

"Woman NAKED from waist down stuns fellow passengers as she waits in line for flight in Florida"

First guess (since woman seemed unconcerned) ...

She was wearing a one-piece that had a malfunction (no connecting threads below
... and probably caused by certain tension on those threads).

Next guess: (about man behind distracted by his cell phone) ...

He was trying to order a similar one-piece for his wife or girlfriend.

"Several X users said that the billionaire was wearing (his hat) the wrong way around."

It depends on which photo was used in the news (flip horizontally and his hat changes position).

But also note that the cowboy behind was wearing his hat the same way, suggesting hat etiquette:
If 2 of 3 cowboys wear their hat the same way the third cowboy is another gender (style).

A moot point since reality and it's 24/7 visibility keeps instructing

"Slay News reported in August, over 1600 scientists from around the world joined forces by signing a declaration

Obviously, if there is a climate emergency, 1600 hundred scientists need to be retrained in the scientific method

Today's new word ...

Re: https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/femal ... study-says
"The study found that female frogs reacted in a variety of ways when males pursued them."

"The researchers tested various avoidance behaviors by the female frogs — including rotating, release calls and tonic immobility ...
Rotating was defined as a 'female starting to rotate around her own body axis when amplexed by a male'."

Tonic - "anything invigorating physically, mentally, or morally"
Example: "My job is so stressful that I often need a nooner (tonic)."

Not the word you had in mind?


Today's next new word ...

Re: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4189274/posts

Queer - "demarcates not a positivity but a positionality vis-a-vis the normative - a positionality that is not restricted
to lesbians and gay men but is available to anyone who is or who feels marginalized because of her or his sexual practices."

Apparently, this word can be used by anyone who practices sexuality
and feels marginalized because of that practice. Therefore ...
If you don't need to practice, you're not "queer".

some workers are using tools that record, analyze and summarize what has been said, allowing them to skip
gatherings entirely and skim the highlights. The AI also acts as a kind of virtual Miss Manners, reminding people
to share the mic and to modulate their speaking pace, and advising them how to avoid verbal flubs. In Stir’s case,
his robot minder suggested he let his pitch rise and fall more to sound less monotone ..."

Once AI gets bathroom statistics, it will be able to suggest efficiency in TP usage, how long to visit the loo,
and best time relative to important workplace gatherings. However, feminine (for males) or masculine (for females)
pitch in the loo is probably not yet a Miss Manners' recommendation.

"In time, many researchers say, the A.I. agents could become far more sophisticated, and could replace office workers,
automating almost any white-collar job ... This has a huge upside - and huge consequences - for society.”

Thus, governments will need to control development/rollout of AI to minimize societal disruption
caused by rapidly increasing unemployment. Interestingly, AI will be automating products and services
for customers but the unemployed will no longer be customers. Of course, unemployed would welcome
government assistance to remain customers while unemployed.
