Unplanned & perfect
Kim Komando
It wasn’t planned. Unlike the 17,397 pics cluttering my camera roll, recipe screenshots of dishes I’ll never make and reminders I never needed, this one was completely accidental. I was walking with my phone and accidentally double tapped. It turned out to be the most accurate snapshot of life I’ve taken in ages.
Abby, my 6-year-old golden retriever, and Bella, our brand-new, 12-week-old puppy, are in this ridiculous, perfectly chaotic pose. One lying on top of the other. Neither one seems bothered by it. It’s a mess. It’s adorable. It’s real life.
And it reminded me of something I often forget and maybe you do, too … the best moments are unplanned.
🐾 Abby’s been in the family for years
She knows the routine. She’s mature (mostly). She tolerates our human quirks. Bella, on the other hand, is full of puppy chaos. She’s still learning stairs, leashes and how not to eat the furniture.
Watching them together is a lesson in patience, adaptation and unexpected friendship. Abby didn’t ask for a sidekick, but here she is, embracing the mayhem with grace. And Bella? She’s finding comfort in the shadow of someone who’s been there before.
🙋♀️ There’s a metaphor in here
Like how new tech like AI, smart homes, new gadgets every week crash into our lives with bugs, excitement and zero instruction manuals. Our old faithful tools like our phones, our routines, adapt whether we like it or not. Sometimes gracefully. Sometimes awkwardly.
And sometimes, just like this photo: tangled, weird but full of heart.
So here’s your Sunday reminder: Take the photo. Even if it’s silly. Especially if it’s silly.
Because years from now, it won’t be the perfectly centered, edited and framed shots you treasure most. It’ll be the blurry, off-balance, “what even is happening here?” pictures that capture what life actually looked like.
Wishing you a Sunday full of wagging tails, quiet moments and memories worth keeping even if they come with a bit of dog hair. In my home, I call it “golden retriever fairy dust.”
Is AI making you dumb?
More teens rely on AI for homework, but what happens when they stop learning basic knowledge? The long-term impact might be bigger than we think.

58%
Lower risk of cognitive decline for older folks who use tech like smartphones and computers. A study says learning new tools and staying connected online can actually help keep your brain sharp. So much for “digital dementia.” Just maybe don’t spend six hours a day on TikTok.

🧓 Tech helps older brains: Screens rotting brains is an old wive’s tale apparently. A huge new study of 400,000+ adults found using digital tech is linked to a 58% lower risk of cognitive decline in older adults. Why? Learning to use new tech keeps your brain challenged. You or your grandma yelling at an iPad might secretly be gaining IQ points.

🧠 Google’s AI just learned Minecraft: They dropped it into the game with zero training on how to play and told it to find a diamond. After nine days of learning from scratch, “Dreamer” figured it out and was mining diamonds within 30 minutes (like an expert player). Folks, this isn’t just about gaming. It’s about teaching AI to think, adapt and act on its own. Slightly scary.
🎬 Better foreign films? On May 9, AMC is screening the Swedish sci-fi movie Watch the Skies that’s been visually dubbed into English using AI. Instead of just swapping voices, the AI tool TrueSync adjusts the actors’ lip movements to match the English audio perfectly. Say goodbye to cringey, mismatched voice-overs. The first sentence you should learn when learning a foreign language is, “My friend is paying.”

💪🇺🇸 The only easy day was yesterday: Special ops commanders went to DC to explain that America’s military tech, especially AI, machine learning, autonomous weapons and cyber warfare, is way behind our adversaries. China and Russia are investing heavily in AI-driven battlefield awareness, drone swarms and cyber capabilities. We have to do the same.

Hollywood writers just realized AI steals their work
They thought they had protections, but AI is using their scripts as learning fodder.
🦉 Gone but not forgotten: RIP to Duolingo’s green owl mascot. In a very strange marketing stunt, the language-learning app put up a video that shows the little guy getting run over by a Cybertruck, shooting through the sky, past space and straight into hell. Now there’s a reward for anyone who IDs the driver. Hey, it worked, because #RIPduo is trending.
Influencers are learning a lesson
Bragging about fancy freebies and luxury items online comes with a big risk.
