So, I can say that given the observations made by myself, my hubby and my neighbors, the bumblebees have made a HUGE comeback in #SouthernMaine this year (despite the drought)! There were very low #Bumblebee populations last year (more #CarpenterBees and #honeybees and a few smaller #NativeBees). A lot of us are #GardeningForPollnators and #GardeningWithoutChemicals , so I think that's helping!

Young voters pull back from Trump -
dailykos.com/stories/2025/9/27…
in the 2024 election but now say they regret their decision. When asked to describe life under Trump, they used words like “aggressive,” “overpowering,” and “reckless.” Frustration ran across his policies—from hard-line immigration stances to the lackluster economy and his handling of foreign conflicts.

The image is a screenshot of a post on the Chinese question-and-answer platform, Zhihu. The post is titled "真的有那么多冤假错案吗?" (Are there really so many wrongful convictions?). It has 490 answers and 1213 followers. The post is by a user named "硅谷IT胖子" (Silicon Valley IT Fat Guy), who has 202 people who have agreed with their answer and 4 people who have listened to it. The user's profile picture is a circular image of a character from a video game.
The text in the post discusses the "诺福克四水兵案" (Norfolk Four Case), suggesting that even without severe torture, threats, or coercion, the case could lead to wrongful convictions. The post argues that the prosecution only needed to manipulate the jury to make a guilty judgment, despite strong alibis for the defendants. The post concludes by mentioning that the defendants were ultimately found innocent and were compensated with over 9 million US dollars each.

I have a question: You look for something in a search engine and you find your own site/post in the search results. Would you feel different if your content was in the built-in A.I. helper (e.g. DuckDuckGo's Search Assist) with it quoting you as a source? What about when your post appears as one of the sources in a chatbot answer (e.g. Grok, Perplexity, etc)?
Comment for other responses! I'm curious to know what others here feel about this topic. 🙏
