Oates floats like John Milton, stings like Groucho Marx.
![Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”:

People in the SF Bay Area like to talk up that within a day you could be at the beach, on a mountain, in a redwood forest, etc. Sometimes, though, you get a reminder that in most of the suburbs you’re less than 20 minutes from the middle of absolute nowhere.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Sharks DO get cancer, as in this Great White observed in 2014 near Australia.
Every vertebrate species, with long enough observation, will display cancerous growth, because cancer is "baked-in" to multicellularity & the capacity for growth.
Rates vary by species, but *cancer is a constant*.
