I genuinely thought April Fools Day was a thing of the past. An ancient relic of nostalgia we cling to in memory but never in action.

Boy was I wrong.

Apparently big companies still indulge in this phenomenon and apparently I'm foolish enough to fall for it.

If you're a frequent Spotify user you probably noticed the quaint AI DJ feature come to life a few months ago. I've been using said DJ and enjoying the little mixes it puts together. Mr. DJ decided to talk to me on Monday (April 1), which looking back should've tipped me off. He then proceeds to share a song with me where the lyrics described how he felt. I'll let you take a listen.

The worse part: I simply assumed it was a glitch, a silly mistake by Spotify. But no, the only one messing up here was me.

Highlights for the week include: contests and workshops for crafters 🧶, a showcase to share your business with others 📣, scholarships to financially support your accomplishments 💰, becoming the game master 👾, and connecting with small business owners 🤝
