Summer:  Artificial intelligence was beginning to get attention in the mainstream, particularly with regards to creating sometimes bizarre looking images based on descriptions.

So we had a bit of fun making pictures of Supreme Court justices, who were also in the news due to the overturning of Roe v. Wade and other controversial decisions. We used a company called Craiyon to generate the pictures.

These are the descriptions we used for each justice:

• Amy Coney Barrett with American flag and a hand gun.
• Brett Kavanaugh with a beer bottle.
• Samuel Alito in a dry cleaner in front of coat hangers.
• Neil Gorsuch with a ventriloquist dummy.
• Ketanji Brown Jackson and Stephen Breyer in a swimming pool.  (Jackson was in the process of replacing Breyer.)
• Elena Kagan on Wheel of Fortune.
• Neon Clarence Thomas with a sofa.
• Sonia Sotomayor in a gym on a treadmill.
• John Roberts at a pig farm.

And for the really sharp-eyed, we had a reference to the popular word game known as Wordle in the description bar.

In Wordle style, the word SCOUTS indicated that all of the green letters were in the right place.

"U" and "T" being yellow meant that they were part of the word but in the wrong place.  Switching their positions would spell SCOTUS - Supreme Court of the United States.
