in the category of odd news, 20 different automakers were asked to keep putting AM radio in new and future vehicles, because AM radios are often affected by the electromagnetic noise in EV propulsion systems.

AM/FM broadcast radio remains the most dependable, cost-free, and accessible communication mechanism for the US Govt to communicate with the public during times of emergency.

As a result, any phase-out of broadcast AM radio could pose a significant communication problem during emergencies.

A Pew Research Center study found that nearly 90% of Americans ages 12 and older listened to AM or FM radio each week, higher than the percentage that watch television (56% ) or own a computer (77%)

BMW doesn’t offer AM in its i4, iX, and i7 electric cars
Ford didn't install AM in the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning 



And that is some public service news right there. (PSA)

Scam warning

a scam that has been uncovered already, if you get an email from Star Position, or Robert Sexton,or Liz Monteroso, disregard it.

http://www.topix.com/forum/business/search-engines/TTTRPVQPI7NF0GM5D/p2 is a website for scam notifications, and these guys are busted for being frauds.

http://forums.seochat.com/seo-help-general-chat-16/do-you-use-starposition-com-71825.html has mad it clear to me, just like the emails I received from Liz, that these guys are frauds. Nothing can be proven to show that paying them results in the claims they make. In the old west, it was called "Snake Oil", in the medieval days it was known as "good luck charms", and now... we have scam and spam.
