I paid $75 for a 'sincere apology' video script from a PR firm

A local musician I liked got caught saying some really gross stuff in old tweets, and his team put out this three minute apology video that felt super genuine (I actually teared up). I found out later he hired a firm that sells pre written apology templates, and the specific 'heartfelt artist redemption' package costs exactly $75. Does a price tag on regret make the whole thing fake, or does wanting to say the right thing still count for something?

My Sunday batch baking habit is kinder to the planet (and my AC)

By baking everything at once, I cut down on oven pre-heating cycles. It uses less energy and honestly, keeps my kitchen cooler too.

Just caught a deep fake by watching the eyebrows

I always thought fake videos had obvious glitches around the mouth. Then I read a guide about how eyebrow movements often don't match the speaker's emotion. I started looking for that, and sure enough, it tipped me off to a political ad last week. Now I check eyebrows first every time.
