Quitting my TV news career has come with many benefits but perhaps none as important as how it has affected my ability to parent. My relationship with the Producer would have consisted of about an hour in the morning (stressed about what I’d cover that day) and an hour at night (still stressed about what went wrong with my report that day). I’ve started “Hold On to Your Kids” by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Maté and I highly recommend it. They describe the era since World War II as one where peers have taken over the role of parenting, calling it “peer orientation”. They write, “Orientation, the drive to get one’s bearings and become acquainted with one’s surroundings, is a fundamental human instinct and need. Disorientation is one of the least bearable of all psychological experiences. Attachment and orientation are inextricably intertwined. Humans and other creatures automatically orient themselves by seeking cues from those to whom they are attached.” This has also got me thinking about my pressing question about why so many journalists prefer group think over curiosity. Are we adults also suffering from “peer orientation”?

Lily had her first “official” riding lesson on Sassy today. Sassy turned 32 on April 3. I still remember getting to skip school when I was 10 years old to watch the vet inseminate Sassy’s mom, Socialite. I’m so blessed that Sassy “trained” me and now has Lily on her back, learning patience and the importance of stopping for a healthy snack - among many other traits!

Georgia is now the 2nd state to sign this kind of pesticide/herbicide liability protection into law. My theory is that all the billions in lawsuit earnings against Bayer (formerly Monsanto) have prompted some intense lobbying. It will come to a state near you.

Universal, Warner and Sony Are Negotiating AI Licensing Rights for Music

"...
Any licensing agreements would likely involve a settlement of the suit between the two sides, and require some amount of damages paid for the use of music so far. Agreements would also likely involve the music companies taking stakes in the AI companies.
Music companies often take stakes as part of licensing agreements with startups. Universal, Warner and Sony had stakes in Spotify when the music-streaming service launched."
