Overlooked Delights

A nostalgic 1950s-style suburban scene with a boy sitting on a front porch reading a book, a vintage car parked along a tree-lined street, and the words “overlooked delights” in large cream-colored lettering.

On Saturday mornings I ask an AI to run a prompt that’s intended to scour the week’s happenings for things I might find interesting but which have been overlooked by the mainstream media. I always find several things of interest. The first pass it makes identifies 10 items. I then follow up and ask it to find 10 more.

Rather than editing this week’s edition, I share both results in full below.
