We're forever curious, especially if history is in the conversation. Lately, for us anyway, it feels like the world is opening its virtual kimono: there is so much new information and content appearing all across social media. Our choice is consuming "the real thing" rather than memes and sites like TikTok. …
We asked Gemini when was the last time that the earth and its humans were at peace with each other? Tragically, it didn't provide the answer that we'd hoped, but we'd had little hope to begin with to be honest. The AI tool offered. It's difficult, if not impossible, to pinpoint a specific "last…

Anyone remember that hit? We say this all the time, but we really mean it. We're super lucky to have been able to build a super group of affiliate partners. They're diverse and ever-changing. It certainly makes our job easier and more…
