MONDAY YADA YADA YADA

Many of us are not on social media but we often get to hear about it and are sometimes sent screenshots or interesting links. 

And while some of us took the weekend off to read a good book or work on Christmas lights while the weather is still forgiving, Monday's mail was positively packed:

*********On one of the private parents' forums there's been some lively--sustained----and occasionally humorous commentary---about Artificial Intelligence-----and lots of praise for the new Croton.News AI site too.  One article in particular has gotten quite the work-out----and continues to trigger much good natured conversation when it provided "a short history of tech fears".  It's worth another read: How many of these do you remember? AI Hysteria: Is the Sky Really Falling? | Psychology Today

Oh and much discussion about Google, AI and schools: Google will block search access for schools that ban AI use - CBS News

*******Apparently there was a re-watch of the August podcast involving the great Alex Berenson and Emily Kopp; these two are considered true investigative journalists and if you are ever in the mood: EverythingCroton: THAT PODCAST--THE GREAT ALEX BERENSON AND EMILY KOPP TALK COVID, LAB LEAKS, AND TONY FAUCI

******On one of the veterans forums, there's much talk about 12/12 Army Navy game Army To Pay Homage To Over 100-Year-Old Infantry Division With Football Uniforms That Scream America | The Daily Caller

*****A lot of chatter about the county ballot screw-up but little hope for accountability, transparency, yada yada yada......

*****Much more but Monday calls......
