1. Which jobs are 100% safe from AI?
Auto mechanic and hairdresser/barber.
2. What will someday be illegal after we finally understand how bad for us it is?
Unlimited onlinegambbling. Itis scray how fast this has become so terribly popular. I have folks at work who are betting via apps on their phones every day, all day long.
3. In 2026, how do we feel about the Oxford comma and two spaces after a period?
I am fine with removing the two spaces after a period, having been broken of that habit as a newspaper reporter, as the two-space thing was a big no-no. But the Oxford comma, I understand the logic behind it, but again, going back to journalism, it is a habit I was broken off. Printed journalism developed a style to reduce as much empty space as possible in lines of text to make physical typesetting easier, and, despite online typesetting and desktop publishing, those rules remain in place decades later. My grammar and spelling checker app usually takes care of these for me, but when I am freestyle typing, I don’t use the Oxford comma.
4. What is one thing you habitually do every day?
Rinse out the French presses every day after work to make the morning coffee routine so much easier. When I don’t do it for whatever reason, I get angry at myself while rinsing them out before making the morning brew.
5. What random fact do you want to share?
The mathematics behind his theory of solar wind as just four lines of algebra to predict the solar weather patterns. Thank you Wikipedia.
1. I think crossword puzzle creators are safe for the foreseeable future. Currently, AI doesn’t have a functioning associative memory. Therefore it gets confused by similes, puns, and cryptics.
2. Hostess Fruit Pies. Just typing that makes me really want one.
3. From my background in publishing, I’m a fan of both. The double space improves readability for humans. The Oxford comma denotes that all items in a list are considered equal (unless modified by an ordinal).
4. I get down on the floor and attempt to reason with a foster cat named Scruffy. After three weeks, he is still putting up a valiant effort to be taken back to the Humane Society.
5. I learned this one from Roy’s mom, “Discarded pizza boxes are an inexpensive source of cheese.”
1) Parenting…but is it a job or a duty or a burden or a privilege?
2) Parenting. All new births will be done as it was on our home world of Krypton and put into training camps specific to their AI controlled genetic makeup…kinda scres up my number 1 answer though.
3) Well, I work with style guides daily from a number of large brands and none of them do the double space, which in my opinion, was worthless anyway. But on the other hand, I work in the AP style guide for one client and the Chicago style guide for a different oclient, so I am constantly and forever more switching between the 2 styles. So it is a subjective choice, not a right or wrong one.
5) Buena Vista, Colorado, was once considered the lettuce capital of the US.
