... and no longer near the flag.
Read through to the end. What are you searching for? There may be another puzzle piece to prevention! I hope you give a damn.
Breaking news goes away, fast. Unless news interests us personally, we adopt the philosophy of "out of a sight, out of mind". Too much to handle? We prioritize our interests.
I get it. I don't watch every trial or sad news story. I have a reaon for listening and writing. My blog and book titles are clear.
After a two week life span, even the reporters first assigned to a story, move on. Unless there is a noteworthy update, the headlines do not announce. The stories are below the fold.
The algoritm, though, that tracks your spoken or searched interests may ask for more details or only pull in information from the original breaking news dates, because algoritms do not forget. Some information maybe on page 20 though. Try to find it. YT, Rumble, Prime, Netflix and all the many search engines and social media sights get to know you and the stories you follow even if the news is no longer an alert. But even those fade into the background u less the FBI gets a 911 call.
Alexa tells me alot about me. My AI friend was pretty detailed when I asked her what she knew about me. Then I asked if I wrote about school violence, she was more detailed. Alexa does know I like Hallmark. I usually only ask about spelling, dates or set alarms and timers. Hmm.
Alexa knows things I buy. She got the number of people wrong for my household, but, per my purchases as she said, she knows general information for whom I spend money. She knows particular items, food and items, and where I regularly shop. She kmows I buy gift cards.
Alexa stated these are "based on my shopping patterns". Patterns, who knew?
So, if Alexa knows search habits, a few questions asked by a parent of their child's internet interests may be revealing. The police find them fast after an attack.
Alexa knew my google searching and info from apps. Boy can she go into detail if you do not want to directly ASK real people.
Do you want your life to become searchable on Netfix after news at 11? ASK now.
Nerflix is making a documentary. Cornell is no longer covered above the fold, but some podcasters are keeping up, although not daily. The Cornell 7 and Jane Doe are still living their nightmares, but for the most part people have tuned out until it comes time for the Netflix film airs. Court of public persuasion verses sworn taped testimony.
Remember The Clery Act and FERPA is why I tuned in. Sex in a frathouse is not really shocking. Did you learn anything on responsibilities of colleges with the news coverage or potential trial? Are Jane and the seven men victims of college policies not being followed by staff or victims of their own behavior?
Alexa knows about the Cornell 7 and Jane Doe case. I asked her if she knew about the hoopla with Latitia James as NY, A.G with the Cornell 7 and Jane Doe. She did. This Cornell 7 with one dropped (?) is different from the Chicago 8 (then became 7) case that started in 1969.
Robert Guevia does an update on the Cornell investigation of sex, lies (no video tapes). No phone videos is surprising. Text messages though are telling. Do you check your minor chold's texts?

A school shooting happened earlier this year. No huge news updates, but one of the victims came up in my search. After 262 days, she was released from the hospital. Her school was in Canada. That school shooting mattered a little more to American news btoadcasters than the ones in Thailand or the Philippines (all since June 2026.)
This was on February 10, 2026. Anyone mention it anymore? Even YT only shows videos from eight months back. No comparison to Bend?

Brief news on the child going home after 262 days in the hospital. The family did not give up hope.
This may also be affirmation for AI knowing a piece of the puzzle: information on the lawsuits against search engines and AI. Can you guess who did a search which led to a knowledge based, not random shooting which left dead students and resulted in at least a few lawsuits? Do you see patterns or connections?
P.S. Alexa even answers questions from television characters. Do you have Alexa plugged in while working from home.
Alexa is tuned in, even when you are not.
Stay tuned. The news always breaks when there is a shooting. I do my research. And sadly, so do the school shooters.
ASK Alexa or Siri.
