This is near Waverly, Nebraska this Friday afternoon. An NDOT camera caught this tornado at I-80 and 148th.

It's been an absolutely horrific day in both. Iowa and Nebraska, along with some other states..tornadoes in the dozens, have moved through destroying life and property..

Unfortunately, tomorrow appears to be the same .. this is already being called a historic outbreak of tornadoes today, April 26th 2024.

"New York’s highest court on Thursday overturned Harvey Weinstein ’s 2020 rape conviction, finding the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with “egregious” improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that weren’t part of the case.

“We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes,” the court’s 4-3 decision said. “The remedy for these egregious errors is a new trial.”"

Election 2024 becoming a snoozefest

Sleepy Joe VS Fartin Don..

"The share of voters who say they have high interest in the 2024 election has hit a nearly 20-year low at this point in a presidential race, according to the latest national NBC News poll, with majorities holding negative views of both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

The poll also shows Biden trimming Trump’s previous lead to just 2 points in a head-to-head contest, an improvement within the margin of error compared to the previous survey, as the president bests Trump on the issues of abortion and uniting the country, while the former Republican president is ahead on competency and dealing with inflation"

And just think.. technically primary season still isn't even over yet..

Buckle up. Or grab a My Pillow for along election nap..

Horrific: Drunk driver kills 2 children and injures others at kids birthday party

An 8-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother were killed, and at least 12 others were injured at a child’s birthday party at a boat club in Newport, Michigan, on Saturday when a drunken driver drove through the building where the celebration was taking place, authorities said. A 66-year-old woman, who was driving the vehicle while intoxicated, was taken into police custody and is being held at the Monroe County Jail, Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough said at a Saturday news conference. The two children were pronounced dead at the scene, he said. Nine people, including three children and six adults, were transported to hospitals with “serious life-threatening injuries,” according to Goodnough, who was visibly emotional during the news conference.

THE SWAN BOAT CLUB, WHERE THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE, posted on Facebook:

In light of the emergency please do not try to come to Swan Boat Club at the moment so emergency vehicles can get through. At this time the club is closed until further notice. Please keep everyone involved in your thoughts and prayers. We thank everyone for their concern and prayers.

LOUD AFTER THE SET

Two “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” participants claim they did not know the docuseries was being made for Investigation Discovery, and said they would not have agreed to interviews if they did.

“I’m not too familiar with ID, but for the interview I sat down for, it was not an appropriate network for the show,” former “The Amanda Show” actress Raquel Lee Bolleau told IndieWire. “I had no clue it was on [ID] until one or two weeks before it aired.”

Title IX overhaul but no mention of trans athletes in schools

The rights of LGBTQ+ students will be protected by federal law and victims of campus sexual assault will gain new safeguards under rules finalized Friday by the Biden administration.

The new provisions are part of a revised Title IX regulation issued by the Education Department, fulfilling a campaign pledge by President Joe Biden. He had promised to dismantle rules created by former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who added new protections for students accused of sexual misconduct.

Notably absent from Biden’s policy, however, is any mention of transgender athletes.

AI will not change the news. It did.

All of those predictions seem like eons ago.. the idea that AI will change the face and way news is delivered.

It's time to stop talking about what will occur. It is happening. Actually..

It happened.

Chances are today most of what you read is slightly Ai or completely. And you know it too, you can feel it. You get the sense that no human being is delivering what you read online..

As a matter of fact, let's go a step further. It is starting to feel more and more like we are really in the dead internet.

H5N1 strain found in milk

International media reporting: The H5N1 bird flu virus strain has been detected in very high concentrations in raw milk from infected animals, the WHO said Friday, though how long the virus can survive in milk is unknown. Avian influenza A(H5N1) first emerged in 1996 but since 2020, the number of outbreaks in birds has grown exponentially, alongside an increase in the number of infected mammals. The strain has led to the deaths of tens of millions of poultry, with wild birds and land and marine mammals also infected. Cows and goats joined the list last month -- a surprising development for experts because they were not thought to be susceptible to this type of influenza.

How did April 20 become 420 day?

It is NOT because police use 420 as their code for pot.

The history is a little more boring and organic..

In the early '70s, five students at San Rafael High School in Marin County, California would meet outside of the school after extracurricular activities had ended for the day. The group, eventually called the "Waldos," simply for the fact they met by a wall to do their thing, made their official meeting time 4:20 p.m. and eventually started using 420 as code for smoking. One of the Waldo members, Dave Reddix, later got work as a roadie for the Grateful Dead, and the band helped to popularize the term, he told Time. Specifically, a flyer distributed by a group of Oakland Deadheads in December 1990 inviting people to smoke on April 20 at 4:20 p.m. did the trick. A reporter at High Times magazine got hold of the flier and printed it in 1991, bringing it to the attention of cannabis fans across state lines. The magazine continued to use the term in future publications, solidifying its place in popular vernacular. Steve Bloom, the "High Times" reporter who originally received the flyer, later credited the Waldos for originating the term, saying in a 2013 blog, "...they wanted people all over the world to get together on one day each year and collectively smoke pot at the same time. They birthed the idea of a stoner holiday, which April 20 has become."

PERHAPS IT WILL END UP BEING THE SONG OF THE YEAR: I GLUED MY BALLS TO MY BUTTHOLE AGAIN

I dare you not to watch this on repeat until you learn the words.. I dare you not to get it stuck in your head..

And they said AI wouldn't take our jobs away..

Fool me once. Shame on you. Fool me twice. Shame on glue.

There is an interesting theory (because yes, humans are not making videos on Youtube of what makes this AI song so addictive) .. the chorus is never the same. It changes, while keeping the same lyrics. So in order to hear your favorite version of the main chorus, you have to go back and listen to the song again. AI got us again! Foiled by the machine..

If this is what AI was really used for, we would all have a better tomorrow.
