As economic optimism hits 3-month high, shutdown worries loom In this month's Financial Advisor Confidence Outlook, advisors' feelings about the overall economy and practice performance were up. That optimism could be fleeting.

Everyday I get an email from a fan of my dad’s saying they’ve seen another A.I. video on social media.

We are doing our best to combat it, but it’s overwhelming, and depressing.

Enhydro agate - Wikipedia

Enhydro agate is a type of geode that has water trapped inside. Maybe it's because I know I'm not supposed to but I have a strong desire to drink it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhydro...

"It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings."

Now, that's what I call a sentence.

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Still loving this guitar but one flaw is the 14th and 15th fret of the high E string sound the same, I assume because someone decades ago was doing some serious shredding up there. It’s fine for the most part but you don’t realize you want that note until you’re playing something that requires it.
