Anatomy of a recent AI robocall and how I responded to it
On Friday, I received a call from 351-300-0683 which my phone identified as suspected spam. The caller ID showed up as “Ms. Leila’s NeighborSchool”, which I can find no evidence of on the internet so I suspect it no longer exists and the phone number was reassigned.
I declined the call, so it went to voicemail. The caller left this message:

U2, R.O.K., 1981 on Island Records
Punny title (you too, are ok or U2 are ok) aside, great early EP for the European market from U2. The live tracks on the b-side are from their appearance at the Paradise in Boston in March 1981 – about 8 years later my freshman dorm room would be a block away.
This was the first single (“Fire”) from the debut full-length album Boy, though there had been the EP Three and ~5 other singles before this
My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is from the first pressing for the German marked, pressed by Sonopress in Gütersloh.

#BostonWeekend 6/x
Wed-Sun Oily Music Festival - Various venues, though it looks like the focus is early *european* music only, but maybe I'm wrong.

Discussion of this triggered the memory of my of my lace group friends, who knew of this "lace or needlework" pattern from ~1720. Dated because it's on the back of a deed in #Boston.
Gosh, I love a rabbit hole through archives.
