Headline from nypost.com: “BBC accuses anchor of breaking guidelines by replacing ‘pregnant people’ with ‘women’ in viral video.” Looney tunes.

From pinterest.com: Bette Davis, The Bride Came C.O.D. (1941), photo by William Davis:

From NYP: “AI wreaks havoc on US jobs with 2025 cuts totaling 1M: report.” Any news on how many it created?

From NYP: “This is the next trillion-dollar industry.” According to the article by Lydia Moynihan: “While traditional online shopping doesn’t allow you to touch or really engage with a potential purchase, live-shopping changes that. Sellers rotate items in front of the camera, answer questions instantly on a live chat and show you exactly what you’re buying.” I’m skeptical, which means investors should go all in.

Headline from newsmax.com: “Stefanik Launches Campaign for N.Y. Gov., Blasts Hochul as ‘Worst in America’.” Yes, but how does a Republican get elected in NY when so many have fled?

Headline from foxnews.com: “Consumer sentiment slides to near lowest level on record as government shutdown drags on.” Epic battle — which side will yield?

The maddening, unsurprising back and forth on health issues. From FN: “Processed vegetable oils may not be so bad for your heart after all, researchers find.”

The death toll from attacks on boats carrying illegal drugs is approximately 70. I’ve been uncomfortable with it from the start and wish it would stop.

RIP football lifer Woodrow Lowe, 71. He earned an athletic scholarship to Alabama and had a stellar college career. A LB, he is third all-time in tackles for the Crimson Tide. He was a member of the 1973 national champions and All-American ‘73-’75. He was selected in the fifth round of the 1976 NFL draft, the 131st pick overall, great value for San Diego, with whom he played his entire career, ‘76-’86. He was named to the 40th & 50th Chargers Anniversary Teams. He missed only one game due to injury. He had 21 Ints, returning four for TDs. He had 26 sacks, forced 17 fumbles and recovered eight. After retiring as a player, he coached at the high school, collegiate and pro levels, retiring circa 2019. He was a father of four. Well done, Sir. Photo from Google Images:
