FROM JEFF DUNTEMANN:  Morning Man.

When Wisconsin farmer Nelson Threader inherits his late father’s estate, he dreams of being a DJ and buys the nearby town’s little two-DJ dawn-to-dusk AM radio station from its retiring owner. He then buys an AI DJ as a spare to allow the human DJs to take time off. The bottom-of-the-line AI appliance comes with just one voice personality, and can “wear” only one voice at a time. When WXQJ’s beloved morning man leaves on a long-overdue vacation, AI DJ Mike Noon quickly gets on the town’s nerves, especially the station’s advertisers. Nelson realizes he can either run his voice ragged DJing full 16-hour summer days or go broke. The AI offers to help him, but Nelson is definitely of two minds about the help he gets.

They’d probably count me in this.

AS I SAID:  Investigation: Hamas planned massive October 7th attacks across Europe. Swiss newspaper reports Hamas had a years-long plot to carry out an October 7-style wave of coordinated terrorist attacks across Europe, targeting Israeli, Jewish, and Western institutions.
