Former Siri head John Giannandrea pushed Apple to choose Google’s Gemini chatbot over ChatGPT for the first chatbot integration with Siri last year, according to a Bloomberg report looking at Apple’s uneven AI efforts. Giannandrea, an ex-Google executive who was demoted in a leadership reshuffle in March, thought that OpenAI’s bot wouldn’t have staying power […]

“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.” –John Adams, Second President of the united …

Back in the early ’90s, Johnny and June Carter Cash played a number of shows in Branson, Missouri… which, believe it or not, is nicknamed the “Live Entertainment Capital of the World.” Cash decided to settle down in the Ozarks tourist hotspot, where he was building his own theater to perform for the massive number of tourists that flocked to the area year in and year out. Ultimately, the theater ended up falling through, but Cash still lived in the area for a length of time. It’s unclear how long he was there, and whether or not he purchased or rented the house. But one thing is for sure, the legendary country music duo were living pretty lavish during their time in Branson, as the gorgeous mansion sits alone on the massive Table Rock Lake. If you know anything about fishing, Table Rock is one of the premiere fisheries in the United States, especially when it comes to bass. Stretching over 40,000 acres with over 800 miles of shoreline, it’s one of the largest man made lakes in the country. And Johnny and June had quite the spread. According to the description on the real estate listing: “To top it off, Johnny and June Cash lived on THIS property when they had a theatre in Branson! If you are looking for a custom lake home with bit of history, this is where you need to be. Don’t wait, come live on Table Rock Lake today.” So, if you ever wondered what a home of Johnny Cash would look like, look no further. The four bed, 4.5 bath, 9,056 square foot lake home is about as perfect as it gets. Situated on a peninsula, it features absolutely stunning views of the lake. The home sits on 24 acres with a 4-slip boat dock included. It also features a large indoor pool, a full bar in the downstairs game room, and a designer gym/work out space. It also offers an attached garage for vehicles, plus an attached ATV garage, and an additional unattached garage/shop with a chicken coop. Like I said, quite the spread. It was recently up for sale for $5,450,000, but it’s unclear if it actually sold. Zillow has their “Zestimate” at $2,629,500, which is quite a stark contrast for how much it’s worth, but safe to say somewhere between 2 and 5 million. Look at this place: Johnny Cash’s ’70 Rolls-Royce Was Turned Into A Tesla Imagine owning the 1970 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow that once belonged to the legendary Johnny Cash. Now imagine turning it into a Tesla… because that’s exactly what just happened. According to Digital Trends, Johnny’s old ’70s Rolls Royce was turned into a Tesla-powered electric car using the guts of a 2016 Tesla Model S. Built by Shift Electric Vehicles in Albany, Oregon, the project was commissioned by a Johnny Cash fan that bought the car at an auction. And since Johnny’s old Rolls would’ve been a nightmare to fix, the owner decided to go electric… with as many Tesla components as possible. “They originally approached Tesla,” says Shift EV boss Kirk Swaney: “It was a pretty significant job to move these computers, mount them, and make them work in a functional way.” The final project? A completely electric Rolls that even faster AND smoother than the original. And of course, they kept the original “JRC” badge as a nod to the Man in Black himself. Here’s how it all went down.

From the Center Joe Biden’s first campaign for president took place, albeit briefly, in 1988. It represents an extraordinary twist of historical fate to think that forty years later he would still be in a position to have an outsized impact on the outcome of the 2028 race. But it appears that may be the case. Biden will not be a candidate himself, of course. Even though the octogenarian former president still believes he would have beaten Donald Trump last year had he stayed on the ballot...
