5 Kinds of Eeekkk Today

It's been an unusual and unsettling day today...

1. The little kitten in the picture appears to be ill today.  He barely moves from the bed hubby made them when usually, as soon as the kittens hear the slider open they bolt out of bed and run around to the back of the house.  Since these are feral, unvaccinated kittens, I told hubby to stay away from them.  There have been reported rabies in cats in nearby areas so we want to steer clear of these cats if they seem to be sick.
2. I was on a meeting with some of our state partners today and I saw something that said read.ai on the screen.  I asked what it was and the host didn't know so she turned it off.  Imagine my surprise when after the meeting I get a written report from the meeting composed by AI, which, besides summarizing everything we talked about prior to being turned off (some stuff out of context), it also rated us on our engagement/attention during the meeting as well as our sentiment/how we felt about the meeting's content.  That is creepy AF!  I sent the report back to the state people and asked them to never use this again in the meetings I attend.  Yikes!
3. I got hubby a new monitor because his had a crack in the screen.  When I was setting it up, I clicked on display options and found that the laptop I had hooked up to it--the laptop with the "broken" screen which I tried everything from updating the bios to taking the laptop apart to ensure the screen connection to the motherboard was fine--suddenly had a bright, brilliant screen!  Seems the brightness on the laptop screen had been turned down to zero so, duh, it looked like the screen didn't work.  Hubby always says "this is broken, I didn't even touch it" when apparently he must have leaned on the key that decreases the screen brightness!  Now that half-broken laptop is good as new.
4. Then my order for a new TV for one of our guest rooms was canceled for no reason.  I went back on the website and it was still available for order so after copious live chat with customer service, they agreed to reorder the TV and send it with free overnight shipping.  It's still kind of incredible that a 32", 4k, very thin and light TV can be had for only $80; I still remember when our family had one very heavy, very expensive TV that everyone shared and we needed to "wiggle the bunny ears" to tune in the channels!
5. Finally, I think one of my New Year's resolutions will be to severely limit my YouTube watching/news scrolling.  The algorithms used by these websites seems to disproportionately show as much "doom and gloom" stuff as possible and goes very light on the happy, uplifting topics.  Media manipulation is just awful these days!
