Happy National Youth Apprenticeship Week…the first ever celebration in America of registered apprenticeship for young adults (age 16-24). The “earn while you learn” model is a great post-secondary (and increasingly high school) option for jumpstarting a career.

I just received my first call on this app. A lady with a US accent couldn't see the settings on her drier. I was able to get her to turn it to the setting she wanted. It took seconds of my time but was probably invaluable to her!
What a fabulous app!✅💖

The BBC piece says the team “broadcast a recording of a humpback greeting call” and a whale responded. “This exchange was repeated 34 times over a 20 minute period.”
I’m pretty sure if they ever translate it, here’s the actual exchange:
Scientists: “Marco”
Whale: “Polo”

As a man, it gets clearer to me with each passing day that men shouldn’t be allowed to be in charge of anything.

From the article:
Kevin Franke — who has not been charged with any crimes — said he witnessed Hildebrandt at times “go into possession mode” and “talk in different voices.”
“It was really creepy,” he said, “but the voices would say: ‘She’s ours. We’re not letting go. She is Satan’s bride.’”

Part of the breakfast spread at today’s MFG Ops Conference hosted by the Michigan Manufacturers Association. I’m pretty sure I gained a few pounds just by looking at these delicious donuts from Mitten Raised, an East Lansing bakery (www.mittenraised.com).

This little cutie is staying with us for a week or two as he heals up from surgery. Fostering pets from your local Humane Society/animal shelter is a great way to help our furry friends on their way to their forever homes.

3/12/24 is Baud Day! For those of us old enough to have frequented—or even run—dial-up Bulletin Board Systems in the dawn of online social media, this day is for you! (In the early ‘90s I was Sysop of the multi-line Treasure CheST BBS in Ann Arbor and active on M-Net, Grex, and The WELL. Fun times!)

David Remnick’s interview of Bradley Cooper for the New Yorker Radio Hour is one of the most impressive celebrity interviews I’ve ever heard (or read). I encourage everyone to take 50 minutes out of their busy day to listen to an interviewer and director/actor at the top of their games.

Julius Johnson for the win!
Julius_Johnson @Julius_JohnsonOk. So I watched the Katie Britt response. This could easily be the intro scene for the next Purge Movie. 😆09:10 AM - Mar 08, 2024

Looks like this year’s Rosie the Riveter Day celebration in Michigan on March 21st is going to surpass last year’s event in number of attendees and things to do. It’s an honor to meet and hear from these women and their descendants.

Words—and culinary advice—to live by!
Mark Kubert, DC @MarkKubertThere’s a lot of discussion here lately. Discussion of whose voices are heard, and should be heard. Of what kind of protections are in place for those feeling bullied.05:27 PM - Mar 04, 2024
And while no one has said it outright, I can feel the vibe - “Hey, what’s Mark thinking? What’s Mark’s stance on all this?”

Once upon a weekday gloaming,
while through Spouts and Echoes combing,
I discovered many quaint and curious mentions of a pleasure toy—
A thing shaped like an erect penis
Was suddenly thrust in-between us
Bringing some to woe, but more to joy,
And great diversion to the hoi polloi.

Umm…Poo Paper Toilet Targets are a thing that now exists. Is this a product Spoutians can get behind?

The pitch meeting for this must have gone something like this:
Engineer: “Why wasn’t Segway a hit? Because people are lazy couchspuds and you had to stand up to use it. Our answer: UNI-ONE, a self-balancing wheelchair for everyone!”
Finance: “Sounds like a bad idea.”

“Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter” may or may not be a good use of 1-1/2 hours of your life, but this summary of the 2001 low budget flick (filmed in Ottawa) is worth a read. IMDB Trivia: Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight series, was inspired by the film’s glitter fight scene.

From the article: “…there are a lot of headlines and…hype falsely declaring that the EV market is struggling.”
The unasked question: who benefits from the lie and why is “the media” complicit in spreading it?

“And even when they fail to convince people, the conspiracy theories embraced by these groups contribute to mounting distrust of authorities and democratic institutions, causing people to reject reliable sources of information while encouraging division and suspicion.”
