Fire Up The Jets, The Kyle Fair, and Drake-Bot

🛩️ Hovercrafts are like hotdog toasters - awesome but so impractical they never really got off the ground.  🌭

🛠️ Youtuber "Rich Rebuilds" decided to lean into the awesome and forsake the practical entirely by adding two, that's more than one, jet engines to some old Scat personal hovercrafts from the 80s. The kerosene-powered hovercraft was loud, fast, and bizarrely enough, easier to handle than its un-DIY-ed cousins. 

The used vehicle market is about to really “take off…” 🚀 

The city of Kyle, TX, is hosting a Kyle Fair on May 21st. Like any good fair, it will have food, rides, drinks, music, and fireworks, but unlike most fairs, it will have as many people named "Kyle" as possible. (Most fairs only have 3-7 Kyles at a time) 🍔🧨🎡🍺+🙋‍♂️

A record set last year in Bosnia gathered 2,325 people named Ivan into one place, setting a Guinness World Record. Now the town of Kyle is hosting the Kyle Fair to gather Kyles and beat the record. 📒

🆓 Anybody who spells their name the same as the town of "Kyle" gets into the fair for free.

Any dealers in Kyle, TX need to borrow our Kyle for the event?

🎶🤖 You don't need to listen to much pop music to get the idea it is all being written by robots. Now an AI has literally performed a Drake song, and everybody has thoughts. 

"Heart on My Sleeve" is a viral hit that the artist himself described as "the final straw AI." We don't know if Drake is talking about a camel's back or if he is thirsty, but others do not share his opinion. 🎤❤️

While AI-generated voices could revolutionize the work of writers and producers, they still cannot replace the human element (sound familiar?) needed to craft art. 🖌️

Check back next week to see if that, too, has changed.
