Now the White-Supremacist House is delegating #AI to dish its #racism on #CNN. The ChatGOP bot is actually an amazingly good rendering of a human creature - if you didn't listen to the words being spewed, you could almost be convinced brain cells generated them.

Cyclists and motorists use the same roads for the same purposes and at the same time of day.
Restricting bike lanes to places that "make sense", out of the way of arterials and motorists, is to restrict bicycles from being a viable mode of transport.

then he launches a pogrom against Trans people. He's not anti anti-semitism, he's just choosing his cudgels where he thinks they'll do the most damage

A) does not give a 💩 about the lives of people who are some combination of Black, gay, trans, or African, or

Nostalgic for the day when the Republican "Contract with America" at least had the implication that government contracts were binding.
Note that not only are they stopping payment to farmers in Kansas (and across the farm belt) for work already completed. They're doing the same to USAID contractors abroad, cutting off payment for work already done. So many of those aid orgs have already gone under. US farmers next.
