Happy New Year, PA!
As I look back on this year, I'm so grateful for our community across PA-12. From senior center convenings to workforce development programs to student-led town halls, the work that our neighbors are doing to care for and uplift each other is inspiring.

My favorite quote from Roberto had nothing to do with baseball:
"Any time you have an opportunity to make a difference in this world and you don't, then you are wasting your time on Earth."
This man did not waste his time here.

for the love of god, AI systems aren't "just tools that are neither good nor evil in and of themselves". AI systems *are* tools of capitalism. they exist as tools of capitalism. there is no AI system "in and of itself" outside of capitalism

Career federal prosecutors forced to spend their holidays doing emergency redactions to protect a bunch of rich pedophiles, probably inevitable that some important things slip through "on accident"
Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.
