Our backyard bird feeder is suddenly overrun by house sparrows, house finches, European starlings and other less desirable species.

We've quickly gone from pretty natives to ugly invasive species.

Sorta feels like we're operating a crack house. Is this just a seasonal thing?

Good morning to readers.

Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands, but the breach of Nova Kakhovka dam remains the main story.

Devastating flooding has continued in Kherson. And Ukrainian sources are reporting shelling of evacuees as they try to get out of the flood zone.

"We invented a machine that thinks!"

"It's not thinking..."

"Technically true, but it can CREATE new content out of thin air."

"It steals everything it spits out by scraping the internet..."

"Okay, got me there, but think of the information access; now everyone with a phone has their own research assistant and the Library of Alexandria!"

"The machine spits out wrong answers; like every time."

"Look, fuck you, we own everything and you're buying it."
