β€œI'm tired, boss.... Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world...every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head...all the time. Can you understand?

New AI tool can track dolphins by their 'regional accents' The tool can be helped to identify dolphin species and to study the impact human activities, like fishing, have on the aquatic mammals.

I wish you Easter greetings;
hooray for the Fourth of July!'
