It pains me when I see women journalists share their work prefaced by “I wrote a thing.”
I used to do that. I don’t do it anymore.
Don’t minimize or trivialize your own work.
There are enough men willing to do that for you.

It has always been about the oil.
Reporter: So we’re in the business of nation building?
Trump: No, we’re in the business of having countries around us that are successful… where the oil is allowed to freely come out. It gets the prices down.

It may feel like screaming into the void, believe me, I get it. But at least you know you're creating paperwork and annoying your congressfolk. Maybe they'll actually do something.

200. Five Questions About the Maduro Arrest Operation
Friday night's U.S. military operation in Venezuela was a textbook violation of international law. It's also entirely unauthorized by U.S. law, which ought to (but probably won't) matter.

Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."

Elon Musk’s chatbot has been “undressing” women and children in public. Journalists are letting xAI off the hook by pretending the bot is responsible.
