Authentic Hospitality

GOP plan to sell off public lands in 11 western states has been killed in the Senate.
Thank you Universe 🙏

We’ve all been literally physically sick over this atrocity spearhead by Utah’s senator United States Senator Mike Lee. Yes, the same Mike Lee who made fun on X about assassination of the MN Congress woman.

Public lands in California, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado among others were going to be up for sale.

National parks like Yellowstone, Zion, Yosemite, Grand Teton, Bear Ears, the Arches would have been sold to private developers.

Imagine all the wildlife and ecosystems that would have been annihilated.

We need to keep on fighting to re-take our country back.

Photographer Bob Adelman - Photographer and I were Post Ave. Miami Beach neighbors and friends. We often met up for breakfast at the local Jewish deli around the corner from our homes.

I never thought to ask for his autograph because we were friends but like the last CD INXS put out and handed to me, (we had a mutual friend, their band photographer), asking for autographs just wasn’t something I did having lived in LA for so long and seeing celebrities throughout my adult life.

Bob gave me books he collaborated with Roy Lichtenstein and many great talks and laughs that are left in the memories of two friends - now one.

Everything Hospitality towards nature is the best place to begin.

This BREAK NEWS on ai fits inline with Hospitality tones we as a nation need to get bettered at

Thank you to Lorena Acosta on LinkedIn for bringing this to our attention to ai and tones

“We don’t just train AI with our prompts. We train ourselves with our tone.

Studies are now showing that the way we interact with machines, especially AI, has a feedback effect.

When we speak to AI in a blunt, commanding, or rude voice, it doesn't stay in the machine.

It starts to follow us.

Repetition builds habits.

And if you're used to giving cold orders to a chatbot, that tone doesn't disappear when you're back with your team, your patients, or your family. It becomes a pattern.

Think about it.

If we normalize being short and impatient with something that listens to us all day, how long before we carry that energy into the exam room or the dinner table?

The danger isn't that AI becomes more human. It's that we start losing the human in us.

We often talk about ethics in tech, but the conversation usually focuses on what the machine is doing.

We forget to ask what it's doing to us.

So no, AI doesn't need a "please" or "thank you." But maybe we do.

Maybe our tone with AI is more about protecting the kind of people we want to be when no one's looking.

Your tone matters - even when you're talking to a machine.”
