Google AI search result for “was 2010 fifteen years ago?” returning: “No, 2010 was 14 years ago, not 15 years ago. The current year is 2025, and to find the number of years ago 2010 was, you subtract 2010 from 2025, which equals 14. 
Current Year: 2025
Past Year: 2010
Years Ago: 2025 - 2010 = 14 years”

Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.

Sweetheart, by Sweetheart 10 track album

Here's the best Americana record you've even never heard of (unless you saw me post about it a couple of years ago).

Via Oslo.

Listen to it once, it's a fascinating postmodern pastiche of Springsteen via Scandinavia.

Listen to it a second time, it's desperately sad and utterly transcendent.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
