Black people have experienced this kind of error, based on racism, for centuries. Reliance on AI is only going to make it more common.

If you're looking to do a mitzvah/good deed won't you please read my latest update? I could really use your help.
It's a fuzzy baby velociraptor!
Enshittification rules. If you still pay for The Washington Post... you're the mark.
The AP is quoting a Wall Street Journal report: 2,500 Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli are being ordered to the Middle East.
Senate Democrats introduced a resolution requiring congressional approval before any U.S. military action against Cuba, challenging Trump’s plans.
I think this is pretty clear.
Certain dudes are still upset with me when I said in 2012 that here in the US, being a straight white male is living on the lowest difficulty setting of life. From here on out I'm just going to refer them to these DOGE staffer depositions, and then tell them to go fuck themselves.
My sisters may not want to read this, because we are all so weary of our own rage, and we know this story too well. It is beautifully written. I recommend it, even so, to all, and especially to my brothers.

Citizens Bank has decided that there's lots of money to be made in financing the construction of a whole archipelago of concentration camps for Trump. How do their shareholders feel about that? www.de-icecitizensbank.org
I've never been inside Chili's, and now I definitely and intentionally won't be going there. 🏳️🌈
Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.
Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.
See the problem here?
"It can be lethal, with 1 to 3 deaths per 1,000 cases in children.
In 2025, two children in Texas and one adult in New Mexico died of measles."
Also from the article in Health Watch: Most US doctors have never seen a case of measles, don't recognize the symptoms, and don't know how to treat it.
"Symptoms of measles, a virus that attacks the lungs and airways, can include fever, cough, a blotchy rash, and red, watery eyes. Researchers consider measles among the most contagious diseases, and the virus may remain active for up to two hours after an infected person leaves a room."
I don't have a balcony, but I'm sure such a panel could be attached, somehow, to the siding of my house. I'd go for it in a heartbeat. Do it, California!
And Trump is talking about ground troops...
But we know, and the Iranians must know, that nothing Trump says can be trusted. So even if Trump were to state (presumably in a post on Truth Social?) that the US will never again attack Iran -- why would the Iranians believe it? Why would anybody?
Sonny Burton is old, sick, and disabled. He also did not kill anyone. I wish the governor had pardoned and freed him. But failing that, this was right.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Last week I filled the gas tank of my 10 year old PriusC at the Cheap Gas station for $4.47 per gallon. (State gas taxes, we haz them. California -- the Golden State!) Today, cheap regular gas costs $5.16 per gallon. Tomorrow: who knows? 🤬
Multiple outlets (e.g. Middle East Eye, Reuters) also describe this double-tap: an initial hit, then a second strike on rescuers/parents gathering kids in a prayer hall. This is the second time in recent memory the U.S. military has been accused of an illegal attack on rescuers/survivors.
Donald Trump is a chaos demon.
Keep in mind that it’s not just the cost of filling *your* tank which is skyrocketing…the cost to every *truck driver* is also spiking, which means the cost of whatever they’re transporting will go up as well…
