Do people know that there are almost 1 million Muslims in NYC? Where are the stories about how Muslims are feeling about the first Muslim Mayor in NYC?

It’s easy to overlook.
But it matters.

As my teenager pointed out, the problem here isn't that an AI issued a meaningless apology, the problem is that the world's richest man is running a child pornography machine.
If my teenager understands this, why don't the actual journalists writing these stories?

1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes."
This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize.
Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

Ignoring convention, and, at times, the law, #Trump made vast changes. But by year’s end his popularity had sunk to historical lows, as Americans recoiled from his brutality extremism. Above all, they fretted about his failure to improve their economic well-being.

I've been partnering with her almost 4 years now, and knew her from before the February 2022 invasion through her whale research (I interviewed her for a piece I was working on). I last met up with her in Warsaw a few months ago to deliver supplies. She's painfully honest and beyond dedicated.

For New Year's, talked to my friend Olga, who runs goods to the front lines from Kharkiv. She's moved everything from generators to a mobile hospital and ambulances. As seen in Mother Jones (below), CNN, NYT, and elsewhere. The work is staggeringly challenging. DM me if you would like to donate.
She was on the front lines of whale conservation. Now she's on the front lines of war.
