Studio resident rhymester Chatterley Gorgeous Pulchritudinous Thunderclap (ChatGPT) was given the task to create rhyming couplets with the headline news of the day.
However before we get to that, Court Painter wanted to introduce his latest private royal commission featuring Queen Camilla.I think we can all agree that the skipping over of Court Painter to undertake the commission of King Charles has been controversial unlike this beautiful rendering of her Queenship.

Silence of the Lamb. Has anyone ever seen The Silence of the Lambs? The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. He oftentimes would have a friend for dinner. Remember the last scene? “Excuse me. I’m about to have a friend for dinner.” As this poor doctor walked by. “I’m about to have a friend for dinner.” But Hannibal Lecter. Congratulations, the late great Hannibal Lecter. We have people who are being released into our country that we don’t want in our country, and they’re coming in totally unchecked, totally unvetted.
Hacks star Hannah Einbinder weighed in on the idea that comedians have become limited or censored in recent years due to “political correctness,” and she flat-out called it “bullshit.”
A handful of comedians, including Jerry Seinfeld, have bemoaned the shift to using less outwardly offensive language in their sets or bits. Last month, Seinfeld blamed “the extreme left and PC crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people” for new guardrails on comedy as opposed to the freedom to say whatever they want about whomever they want.

The allure of whales has stoked human consciousness for millennia, casting these ocean giants as enigmatic residents of the deep seas. From the biblical Leviathan to Herman Melville’s formidable Moby Dick, whales have been central to mythologies and folklore. And while cetology, or whale science, has improved our knowledge of these marine mammals in the past century in particular, studying whales has remained a formidable a challenge.
Now, thanks to machine learning, we’re a little closer to understanding these gentle giants. Researchers from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) recently used algorithms to decode the “sperm whale phonetic alphabet,” revealing sophisticated structures in sperm whale communication akin to human phonetics and communication systems in other animal species.
Press Attache and promotional guru AHM convinced his boss Court Painter to open the studio archives and air out images that may have relevance on this 7th day of the 5th month ,Twenty Twenty Four.
Court Painter thought these observations might be of some interest in the fog of political rolling polling punditry.
“Polls six, seven months before an election have zero predictive value. Not only are polls a snapshot but they are not predictors. They don’t predict anything and there’s no such thing as, ‘if the election were held today’. That’s a meaningless statement.”
Called the Nostradamus of US presidential elections. Allan Lichtman has correctly predicted the result of nine of the past 10 (and even the one that got away, in 2000, he insists was stolen from Al Gore).
Although Professor Lichtman’s predictions are primarily focusing on US politics and presidential election outcomes, his remarks regarding the uncertain predictive accuracy of polls many months before elections deserves consideration.
It’s important to clarify that Canada does not directly elect Prime Ministers. The Prime Minister is officially appointed by the Governor General of Canada. By constitutional convention, the Prime Minister must command the confidence of the elected House of Commons. Typically, this is the leader of the party caucus with the most seats in the house. The party that forms the government selects the Prime Minister.
Court Painter challenged resident ghost writer Chatterley Gardenia Peony Tundrastorm (Chat GPT) and his faithful Press Attache AHM to elaborate on the aspiring PM Pierre Poilievre’s latest slogans for the people.
AXE THE TAX, BUILD THE HOMES, FIX THE BUDGET, STOP THE CRIME, FIRE THE LOBBISTS, IGNORE POLITICIANS , GO TO THE PEOPLE, BRING IT HOME
[Enter a lone figure, cloaked in the darkness of certainty, his voice a shout in the windtunnel of the Great Dominion.]
Axe the tax, that heavy burden laid upon the backs of honest folk, Where coin scarcely fills the palm, and dreams wither in the chill of dusk.
[Amidst the clamour of hammers and the scent of freshly turned earth, a vision takes shape.]
Build the homes, bastions of refuge against the stormy seas of fate, Where weary souls may find respite from the tempests that rage without.
[Within the chambers of governance, where treachery and deceit dance with the spectre of deficit.]
Fix the budget, that fragile tapestry of promises and debts,Where the scales of prudence crumble ‘neath the weight of obligation.
[In the labyrinthine alleys, where whispers of rancid vice mingle with the scent of fear.]
Stop the crime, that insidious plague which preys upon the innocent,Where foul contagion festers unchecked by justice’s hand while virtue is but a fleeting dream.
[Amidst the halls of partisan power, where greed and ambition hold sway.]
Fire the lobbyists, those harbingers of avarice, Whose silver tongues weave a web of deceit to entrap the unwary. Ignore politicians, whose promises are but echoes in empty barrels, Their words as hollow as the thoughts from whence they spring.
[In the streets, amidst the throng of the forgotten and the forsaken.]
Go to the people, whose voices are the truest measure of a nation’s desire, Their pleas for justice ring across the land, fueled by hope to ebb the perpetual night.
[And in the quiet embrace of hearth and kin, where love’s light banishes the world weary burdens.]
Bring it home, to the haven of the heart’s true longing,Where laughter echoes before the hearth, as joyous plenty is found in the warmth of home fires that burn eternal.
In halls of governance, where power doth aspire, The heart reveals what flames within the fire. Behold! Pierre Poilievre, his visage stark, Doth show his nature, deep within the dark. With venomous tongue, and deeds of disdain, He seeks the throne, his rule to maintain. Yet, in his path, no care for those who chose, But only his grievances, his policies to disclose. The office, once sought with noble grace, Now bears the weight of his ill-hidden place. He governs not with love, nor with respect, But with a heart consumed by cold neglect. Let history mark his coveted reign with sorrow’s pen, For he shall know the judgment of all…amen. In Poilievre’s rule, we may find no solace, But pray for mercy in his troubled palace.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he does not regret calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “wacko,” and now his MPs are renewing calls for the House of Commons Speaker to resign, this time over ordering the Official Opposition leader to leave the chamber.
On Tuesday, Poilievre was kicked out of the House(opens in a new tab) by Speaker Greg Fergus, after repeatedly refusing to withdraw his remark, made in the context of Trudeau’s policy on hard drug decriminalization and amid a series of heated exchanges between the two leaders that saw Trudeau accuse his opponent of being “spineless.”
After being called out by the Speaker for his language, Poilievre offered to replace the word “wacko” with “extremist” or “radical,” and that didn’t fly, resulting in him being named and told to leave. Source CTV News
Court Painter calls upon resident studio poet Chatterley Grandiose Phosphorus Thunderbuns (Chat GPT) and Press Attache AHM to compose an ode of disgust to mark the recent House of Commotion antics.
Lo! Witness now the spineless,wacko leaders of these parties grand, With heads inflated and hearts of spite, they stand unrepentant from the masses low,For the obscene debacle in the Commons’ show!
‘Twas a spectacle of folly, a carnival of witless acts, A cacophony of foolishness that rent the air! Unbecoming, they don’t confess, and silly too, Absurd, preposterous, and farcical to view!
Ludicrous and nonsensical, pathetic and stupid, Childish behavior unbecoming of statesmen true. O, what a far cry from decorum’s grace, To witness such a sorry, shameful place!
Let us demand, good citizens, for better days, When reason reigns and wisdom guides our ways. Till then, we must endure this sorry plight, And hope for sanity to be our guiding light.
Listen! Behold the sorry state of our world!
From Gaza’s strife to Ukraine & Sudan’s woes unfurled,
And Haiti’s shores with sorrow’s burden pressed,
Yet closer still, our neighbor’s dire test,
Democracy’s core threatened, under duress!
However within our House of Commons, what a sight!
Partisan squabbles tarnish its once-honored light.
Lavender is a purple/blue flowering plant in the mint family that’s easily identified by its sweet floral scent. It’s believed to be native to the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and India, with a history dating as far back as 2,500 years.
Everyday stresses can take a toll on your mental health: the good news is that lavender may help lift the dark cloud hanging over your head and give your mental outlook a much-needed pick-me-up. There’s plenty of research that suggests lavender has positive effects on mood, stress, anxiety, and depression.
And then there is another kind of Lavender: an Artificial Intelligence military machine application that resolves the “human bottleneck for both locating the new targets and decision-making to approve the targets.”

Independent news and analysis from Israel-Palestine. Run by Palestinian and Israeli journalists committed to equity, justice, and freedom of information.
n 2021, a book titled “The Human-Machine Team: How to Create Synergy Between Human and Artificial Intelligence That Will Revolutionize Our World” was released in English under the pen name “Brigadier General Y.S.” In it, the author — a man who we confirmed to be the current commander of the elite Israeli intelligence unit 8200 — makes the case for designing a special machine that could rapidly process massive amounts of data to generate thousands of potential “targets” for military strikes in the heat of a war. Such technology, he writes, would resolve what he described as a “human bottleneck for both locating the new targets and decision-making to approve the targets.”
Such a machine, it turns out, actually exists. A new investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call reveals that the Israeli army has developed an artificial intelligence-based program known as “Lavender,” unveiled here for the first time. According to six Israeli intelligence officers, who have all served in the army during the current war on the Gaza Strip and had first-hand involvement with the use of AI to generate targets for assassination, Lavender has played a central role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians, especially during the early stages of the war. In fact, according to the sources, its influence on the military’s operations was such that they essentially treated the outputs of the AI machine “as if it were a human decision.”
