A fine collection of information, Nancy! As to the S-word, I remember when the Scrabble app decided to do a little housekeeping and it became unplayable, though whether that was the same time that JEW became unplayable, or a different time, I don't quite recall.

Is GOTHKRT supposed to be, like... Goth-Kart? Or - given the Elon anti-shout-out - an explanation and invitation to share one's aesthetic? "Goth, K? RT!"

(Oh, and I assume HELLA/OPE is a deliberate riff on Obama's HOPE, but maybe that's a coincidence. And if it is, someone must have made the HELLA/OPE/HOPE mashup shirt already!)

1. Yes, GOTH KART. Because it's black?

2. Nope, not HOPE. Just two regional expressions.

Fabulous linkstack, Nancy, and Lauren Collins (bien sur) and Lyn Chamberlin are now in my stack. Otherwise, I’m 100% on board with the NEFFY Double Indemnity association. I do think it’s a great mark for something … but I’m not sure if a lifesaving drug is that something.

Similar to the AI vs human stories, I recently found this quiz which asks people to decide whether hotel reviews were written by AI or humans. https://lancasteruni.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3WrOLkOBfzUo8DA
