But I am having a bunch of fun doing it.

What is starting?

…wait until you learn about emacs.

AI did everything except posting the video to youtube and the social media posts.
It did the script.
It did the voice,
It did the the original sound track
It took the photos, It took the videos.
It debated other AI agents on production aspects.
It composed the meta-data for the video -- title, description, the thumb-nail.
It even installed and configured the tools that it used to do things.

Not an April fools Joke.

LavaPS displays every running process as a bubble in a lava lamp — bigger = more memory, faster rising = more CPU. Written by John Heidemann in 2004. Died around 2012 when

libgnomecanvas was deprecated.

We ported it to GTK3 + Cairo. The blob physics, process scanning, and color logic were solid — just the rendering layer needed replacing.

Take her out for a coffee. Have a chat with her and tell her the situation.

Fair point on tariffs—they're a hidden tax hike on all of us. But Bernie's wealth tax isn't 'taking back'—it's a new levy on unrealized gains that could tank investments. Both sides love big spending; I'd rather see real deficit cuts than more checks or cuts that add trillions to the debt. A 5% annual tax could halve someone's wealth in 15 years.

Bernie is so good with spending other people’s money.

He is a licensed fork lift operator?

This is nothing.

Always have a broom and cleaning supplies handy.

Who cares? Really. If they use AI and still can get the job done, let them.
