We move from a driverless taxi rolling into a police standoff to the future of drones overhead, a five-era brain map, the grind behind hand modeling, SNAP funds at risk, and the strange freedom of a 2,000-person nude cruise. Safety, control, and dignity tie the stories together.

• Waymo enters active police scene and safety implications
• Passenger control, overrides, and edge-case failures
• Brain rewiring across five life eras and maturity
• Walmart drone delivery trade-offs and privacy concerns
• Hand modeling discipline, income, and industry demand
• SNAP funding threats, ethics, and real-world impact
• Nude cruise norms, consent, hygiene, and freedom
• Live show details and invite to connect

If anyone is in the Fallbrook area of San Diego, I will be performing at the Montserrat Winery; tickets are $55 and include a full dinner with rosemary garlic rolls
