It’s late.

I stare at my iPhone, take a deep breath — then:

“Hey Siri?”

“Good evening, Erica!”

“What is Ron DeSantis doing?

She gives me a list of websites: “Here is what I found, Erica.”

They bloom before my very eyes; news reports, asking if we want to keep our emails safe.

Safe from him?

He now wants transgendered students to release their health information.

A dangerous play is happening here. I cringe.

I move on to other sideways topics.

“Siri, what exactly is a UFO in today’s terms?”

“An unidentified flying object (UFO), more recently renamed by US officials as an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) is any perceived aerial phenomenon that cannot be immediately identified or explained.” ~Wikipedia

“Wait! It has been renamed. Why?” I did not ask Siri this, as I was flabbergasted. How late in the game was I to know it has been freaking renamed?

Maybe because any object can be misidentified, but a phenomenon
