“Hello, Dad,” I said
No answer at the other end.
“This is Jack—your son.”
“You’re no son of mine! I got nothing to discuss with you.”
“What did I do?”
“You gave the salute to Hitler is what you did.”
“Did you stay for the whole picture?”
“I should stay for such a picture? I was never so ashamed in my life. I don’t tell people anymore I’m the father of Jack Benny.”
“But that was only the beginning of the picture. If you had waited you would see that I’m against the Nazis. I’m fighting them. Please go back and see it all the way through.”
So he did. And how he loved that movie now. By his own actual count. Papa saw To Be or Not to Be forty-six times. Imagine."

derek guy @dieworkwear - not to be too preachy, but if you feel bad for punch the baby monkey in japan, you should consider adopting an animal from your local animal shelter, as lots of animals need love. if you do so, please consider the long term commitment and don't adopt animals as toys

Derrick Evans @DerrickEvans4WV - Police in Fresno, California are looking into an incident involving a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier and an elderly man that was recorded on a Nest doorbell camera.
According to reports, the carrier had just finished delivering packages when a man passed by with two dogs, and one of the dogs was not on a leash.
After alerting the man that the dog was loose and stating he was acting to protect himself, the mail carrier pulled out pepper spray. The dog owner told his dog Pete to sit then ran toward the carrier, who responded by spraying the man. Pete sat and remained seated the entire time. Good boy Pete!
Officers arrived within minutes. The man, who believed the carrier had sprayed his dog first, was cited for misdemeanor fighting in public and declined medical treatment.

"Doc" Hypnosis | BowTied Brain-Hacking @BowTiedTrance - I've just had a phone conversation with an AI bot about changing my dinner reservations for this weekend.
Simple change. We reserved for three people, I need to make it four.
A table has four sides and four chairs, so this is really just a courtesy call on my part.
Show me your "shocked face" when I tell you that the bot couldn't do it.
"I'm sorry, we don't have any tables for four at that requested time. Here are some other available times."
Thankfully, it understood the command, "Let me speak to a human."
Once I got to speak with a not-bot, it took less than 10 seconds. "Oh, of course, those tables seat four people anyway, not a problem."
But this is why AI is not ready to handle full automation without some kind of human intervention available.
