Lol. (Tony)

Meta deleted several of its own AI-generated accounts after human users began engaging with them and posting about the bots’ sloppy imagery and tendency to lie in chats with humans.

If you're after big-city life and all the amenities that come with it post-retirement, then put Cleveland on your radar, too.

RIP, Dooce

"In life, Armstrong was never taken seriously as an author and memoirist, her labors diminished as most efforts of mothers are, simply because she chose herself and her parenthood journey as her primary subject matter. But her impact on the general influencer ecosystem, in all of its brutal, messy, crude, oversharing, glory, cannot be overstated. She was far more than a mommy blogger. She was a mother who blogged, beautifully and compulsively and often painfully, about the overwhelming obstacles of being human." -- Rolling Stone

Heather Armstrong, a.k.a. Dooce, was a blogger known for her unflinching honesty. In the wake of her death, we remember the life she shared on the page
