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.

Basil would like to report a crime. His human put him in the big tub that he can't jump out of and cleaned him. Even his butt is wet.
His human would like him to understand that by wiping his dirty butt on her rug, he asked for this.

We're getting a wave of articles that are like, "gee willikers it sure seems like the people who complained about 'cancel culture' for years really like canceling people."

Some say canceling is an act of redress. Others blame it on a mob.
“People have used the word ‘cancel’ so loosely,” Ernest Owens author of “The Case for Cancel Culture,” said, “that everyone’s calling everything a cancellation.”

How cancel culture came for everyone
Few issues in recent years have united the American right as much as their professed hatred of cancel culture. That’s changing.

Almost 2 years ago, while preparing the wet basement for water proofing, I found this old portrait of me done in NYC in a very water-damaged frame.
I finally got up the courage to pry the frame apart, and it's OKAY.

Ironically, it appears that AI chatbots hallucinate for the same reason that students feel compelled to use them:
They were socialized in a high-stakes testing culture that rewards guessing and maybe getting it right over admitting when there's something you just don't know.
