A Panzerism

 Panzer on being clever:

 

Mom's been giving this kitty eye drops twice a day.

 

I can tell you it doesn't really hurt ...

 

but ...

 

I yowl and whimper ...

 

My very best abused cat routine ...

 

because when she's done ...

 

I get a treat.

 

Yogurt!

Would her mascara work?

 

I love yogurt!

 

Today is my last eye drops day. 

 

I want to extend the yogurt treats, but I don't know how to make my eyes look like I need more drops.

Developments in the U.K. and Germany Target Google's AI-Generated Summaries - Publishing Perspectives

At the Publishing Perspectives site Panzer found a post about Google's summaries feature.

 

According to the post, both the U.K. and Germany are taking aim at implementing controls on Google's summaries feature, but for different reasons and with different methods. Links to other sources are included in the post.
