I’m Paisley Seeger, filling in for Steve Innskeep.
My IRL maiden name is a classic NPR name, though. It’s hyphenated, and the first name is uncommon and its ethnicity is not obvious, while the second name is a less common spelling of a more common name, that identifies it as a different ethnicity (think -ski vs -sky in Slavic last names). My sister’s got a funky first name that really sells it. My married name is incredibly normal and it feels a little weird to not have a distinctive name anymore, but I love not needing to spell it for anyone.
Live, from Chicago's famous Studebaker Theater, I'm Herringbone Winehouse sitting in for Peter Sagal on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me. Today's guests have all been rounded up by ICE, so Bill Kurtis and I will exchange obscure yet witty barbs while a sad trumpet plays a downtempo version of the Wait Wait theme in a minor key.
This is Ogee Charanjit, and I'm here with Doris Kearns-Goodwin. We are discussing the unprecedented changes in presidential policy in the last 30 years.
Flashback to when you used to be able to make stuff like this your desktop background, just changing the pattern, color, and if it would fill/tile/stretch etc.
Hello, I'm Singleton Uematsu, welcome to NPR. Prepare for a major release of applause for the architect behind a truly class-ic framework, a gem of a developer: David 'The Rails Alchemist' Heinemeier Hansson!
I'm Calico Morrison, and coming up next on The Delicious Dish, Pete Schweddy returns once again to give us a look at the methods his family has used to raise each pig that goes into a succulent Schweddy Wiener. So stay tuned and open your ears for Schweddy hogs, here on NPR.
Well I don't see a lot of happy hogs in our future, caller. My balls have never been in greater danger of being trampled by government officials. Imagine all our hogs are one package, and that package is about to be shoved into a dark, dirty, stinking hole. Unless we firmly grab that package and give it some sort of twist, American farmers are going to find it increasingly difficult to raise their hogs in the coming years.
So, dropped this in a friendly meme thread and ended up with myself

And my buddy
Fuzzy Static.
One gpt pass later and this abomination was birthed.
