Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been rapidly advancing in recent years, and its potential ramifications on our society are significant. AI has the potential to transform industries and the way we live our lives, including the news, the workforce, and the way we learn. News AI has already started to change the way news is reported and consumed.

Famous Groundhog Predicts Six More Weeks of Winter

America’s most famous groundhog has spoken. As he does every year on February 2nd, Pennsylvania’s own Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his burrow at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney to make a prediction; will spring come early, or will winter last six weeks more?  Since 1887, the series of famous weather prognosticating groundhogs named Phil have looked to see if they can see their own shadow.

Spring ahead, fall behind! Consider this your reminder that Daylight Savings Time ends on November 7th at 2am EST. We’ve heard this phrase with reference to daylight savings time for as long as we can remember.

Olympic Games Begin Under COVID Shadow

The Olympics are here! After a one year postponement amid the COVID pandemic, the Tokyo Summer Olympic Games commence this week, though they’re different from any other Olympic Games from any year before. While the United States has been ahead of the pack on vaccinating its population, less than 2% of Japanese citizens have received a COVID vaccine; this being so, the International Olympic Committee has been under pressure to modify or even cancel this year’s games. Fans are not being permitted to attend games or events, and with the lack of tourism and fanfare, the Olympic Games are beginning to feel more like a burden than a gift for

Eviction Moratoriums to End Soon

When the true weight of the pandemic began to set in all over the country, many lost their source of income. Soon, bills of all kinds began to pile up, and for millions of Americans, paying the monthly rent or mortgage became even more difficult than it was before.  So last summer, an executive order was signed to sustain a moratorium on evictions for any tenant making less than $99,000 per year (and twice that much for families), as over eight million renters reported falling behind on rent payments since then. So, what’s the catch? Unprecedented times called for unprecedented relief measures, but those relief measures aren’t sustained indefinitely. Earlier
