Penthouse and the Vietnam War: How does AI handle complex historic events?
How well does ChatGPT discuss complicated historic events? Asking the tool to discuss how U.S. mass media reported on the Vietnam War is no small feat, as the topic requires deep primary source analysis, understanding of political and cultural context, and knowledge of contemporary literature on the subject. Many users have pointed out the flaws of ChatGPT in pulling from real sources, so how could the tool aid an interested user rather than a historian?
Stalking the Wild Tautogram

The Vocal Top Story Drug
Introduction I don’t know if this is just me, with my imposter syndrome and feelings of inability and inadequacy, but maybe others may feel this as well. I also understand that people who have never had a Vocal Top Story or Challenge win or placement may see this as a red flag or bragging on my part, but it is not. I know many great creators who have not been recognised for some excellent creations, and I am not sure what to actually do about it.

I’ve always wondered what it would be like to look at America’s Christmas tradition as a foreigner. But that will never happen so instead I decided to take a deeper dive on other Christmas traditions worldwide. Turns out that they are quite different and worth learning from.
At The Touch Of A Button
Introduction Earlier this year I was looking at my profile, and as I am so laconic, I believe that I don’t have to say much about myself because most people find me uninteresting and boring ( although if you are reading this you are among that select elite who believe I have something worthwhile to say or you stumbled here by accident, whatever I now have your attention).

Inside the Supreme Court Case that Included Centerfolds, a Pre-Trial Arrest, and an Exploding Wheelchair
With each Supreme Court term comes landmark decisions, headlines about Justices’ remarks, and politicians’ reactions. Every once in a while there is a case that creates a significant legal precedent and has enough tawdry details to land in both the tabloids and in an FBI file. Keeton v. Hustler Magazine, Inc. argued in 1983 and decided in 1984 has this bombshell combination.
