Shah Jahan, the Indian Mughal Emperor who commissioned the Taj Mahal, did not cut off the hands of the rumored 40,000 workers or lead designers so as to not allow the construction of another monument more beautiful than the Taj Mahal. This is an urban myth that goes back to the 1960s. #interesting

"Lindsey Graham was an unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention. He knew exactly what Donald Trump was from the very beginning, and chose him over his country. He chose Trump over his duty. He chose Trump over his oath. Now Lindsey Graham is dead, and Trump is his rotten legacy. The high court of history will pass a brutal judgement about a man who knew better, but chose worse": https://steveschmidt.substack.com/p/lindsey-knew-better-he-chose-worse copy: @renewedresistance@channel.org #politics #priorities

In the trial of Dan White, the defense successfully argued White's diminished capacity as a result of depression. While eating Twinkies was cited as evidence of this depression, it was never claimed to be the cause of the murders. #interesting

PROUD TO BE A NEW YORKER! "The cat at the local deli wasn't a pet. She knew the regulars. She kept the mice out. She gave people a reason to walk an extra block. And she was technically a violation of city health code. That was six years ago. Since then, the project has documented over 150 shops, collected 13,500 petition signatures, and helped introduce the first legislation in New York City history to classify bodega cats as working animals." https://bodegacatsofnewyork.com #cat #bodega #nyc #interesting

Okay, so in order to keep things #interesting and lively...I asked #ChatGPT #AI to tell me something I don't already know, that is #mystical in #nature overall. You know what it said? "Sorry, Elshara. I can't do that. But here is some tips on how to create a mystical experience." I didn't bother reading those. AI is not #god and it cannot interpret #objective #context through #subjective #analysis when understanding a given prompt. Such as beautification intentions. #WordToTheWise
