Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Honestly tho, think is my daily feed...use AI; AI is bad for mental health & democracy; one blip of a "and it's killing us!" And then back to use AI, how come you're not using AI, don't you think AI has such potential? And repeat. I take some comfort the critiques still appear, for now...

How has this not been made into a song yet? "I could smell the onions and mustard"--is there a remix, please?
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

They’ll insist this is a

They’re wrong.
New York is the world financial capital — home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe.
If everyday people can defeat oligarchs here, we can defeat oligarchy anywhere.
