Iβm betting a rethink of Maslowβs hierarchy of needs today would have to include interconnectedness, to the internet, and group acceptance, via virtue signalling on social mediaβ¦

Okay come on now. I didn't know ANY of these and all of them blew me away in some form. Especially the Ukrainians printing life size images to camouflage their assets. That is mind blowing!
Fun fact, Debra. I guess different animal groups have names too. Like a A skulk of foxes. May have to do a list about different animals and insects next time. Thanks for reading!

A Reparata & The Delrons sighting?!?! Their (and Manfred Mann's) "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy" was written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich (who also co-wrote "Be My Baby" and "Chapel of Love"). Barry (85, and a living legend who's in the Rock Hall of Fame) co-wrote some songs, in the late '70s, with FRONT ROW & BACKSTAGE's Stephen Michael Schwartz!
In 1973, Lorraine Mazzola left The Delrons and joined Barry Manilow's newly-formed back-up singing group, Lady Flash! He'd use them on recordings and on tours for several years!
I had never heard about them before a month ago when I was listening to an interview about the Honky Tonk Woman song...Thanks for your contribution. Hope everyone will sign up for your newsletter, Brad at https://bradkyle.substack.com/

Did you think I was just kidding about blowing your mind? LOL Thanks for the comment Kristi!
I'll never doubt you again!!
Uh oh...what have I done? I'll try to live up to your expectations, always. Thank you!
I love all the bird terms! I also like that a group of ladybugs are a "loveliness."

So 99.9% of all species are extinct. Doesn't look good for mankind, does it?
Ruh Roh...
A pitying of turtledoves?
Also, how the heck could the US randomly expand their reach by 386,000 square miles?!?! Alarming to say the least.
An amazing list Paul, thanks!
Thank you! The US Claimed sovereign rights to areas submerged under water. (https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/us-quietly-grew-400-000-square-miles-nearly-twice-the-size-of-spain-4866412)
I didn't know any of this stuff either. Cool mouse and birds photos. Are those AI generated?
I learn so much from your posts Paul. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Matt. All the pics are generated by myself using Midjourney AI.

A shout out would be nice if you do, but not required. Have a good one!
Thanks Paul. If I use anything, I will definitely link back to you. π
