An article came out saying that Google News is letting AI generated news story in:
On many medical websites, the four pieces of advice to lower BP: 1 - weight management, 2 - cardio, 3 - minimize salt, 4 - minimize alcohol.
My computer goes into night mode a few hours before bed (reduces the blue and dims). Then I dim my light about an hour before.
Come to think of it, listening to the Levar Burton Reads podcast would probably work pretty good as well.
The App 'Calm' which is good for meditation also has sleep stories. There is a great one by Levar Burton describing the solar system.
youarenotsosmart.com psychology, sociology, & more. Sounds boring but is fascinating. His own description:
The central theme of You Are Not So Smart is that you are unaware of how unaware you are which leads you to becoming the unreliable narrator in the story of your life. You Are Not So Smart is a fun exploration of the ways you and everyone else tends to develop an undeserved confidence in human perception, motivation, and behavior. I hope you’ll rediscover a humility and reconnect with the stumbling, fumbling community of humans trying to make sense of things the best we can.

Brilliant people are only brilliant at their area of expertise. They can be horribly, even dangerously stupid in other areas. What's worse is that they often think they are brilliant at everything. (See Linus Pauling, vitamin c.)
I think the danger they are talking about is that they might only need an accusation of insurrection, not a conviction to do this.
Think about Congress's impeachment probe into Biden without evidence.
That's what i was thinking. Taking him off the ballot doesn't hurt Trump, but doing so may have political or legal consequences. So they are just sitting this out to not give their opponents ammunition.
On the post-apocalyptic theme i recent read 'Cantacle for Lieberwitz' following a monetary over several thousand years after a nuclear war as they try to save knowledge. Parts of it are 50s futurism (published in '59). There is even a scene describing how a cop gets a self-driving car to stop. An interesting read.
Sanderson himself recommends 'Tress of the Emerald Sea' as a short work to get a feel for his style. I agee.
In regards to Ocean at the end of the lane. You could really broaden that out to anything by Neil Gaiman (Ocean, stardust, graveyard book, neverware, good omens, american gods, etc. Etc.)
And if you like Neil's fairytale-esque stuff, then check out Spinning Silver and Uprooted by Naomi Novik as well.
If you're looking for something longer, try Brandon Sanderson's cosmere (start with either Mistborn or Stormlight Archives.)
Or perhaps Jim Butcher's Dresden Files (hard-boiled detective who also happens to be a wizard.) First few books are a bit weak, but gets much better.
Some other ideas:
Murderbot Diaries, The Locked Tomb, Assasin's Apprentice, Broken Earth, Kings of the Wyld.
That brings up a really good point. A lot of the story is Murderbot describing how they are hacking this or that. It could be really tricky handling that on tv in a way that is entertaining.
Most of them are really short. Wouldn't cost you too much time to do the whole series over.
I am envisioning one of those mock audition skits now. C3PO, Marvin the depressed robot, Christoper Walkin for some reason, etc.. All reading Murderbot lines.
