Polk County Sheriff’s Office, which held her for ICE, admitted that it was a ‘clerical error’.

Here's a fun fact for you: Charles Drew, a Black man, is the "father of the blood bank." He figured out how to store, ship and transfuse blood.
But he resigned from the Red Cross because they insisted on "segregating" blood by race.

“ended up”? “setting off”? The Times explores new lows with this perversely upside down synopsis of a story of powerful men sexually abusing a child and getting away with their crimes.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

The sad truth is that even when AI results in worse products & still needs fixed by human workers, CEOs will still see it as a win if AI announcements increase stocks & they can use it as an excuse for layoffs

How is AI *really* impacting jobs?
Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an:
-8% drop in all jobs postings
-~30% drop in art, photography, writing jobs
-22% drop in journalism jobs

No surprise: “AI peer reviewers recommend the acceptance of unsound papers created entirely by AI more than 80% of the time, a new study has found.”
Surprise: the article still tries to spin it positive for “human-AI collaboration.”
People, please draw the correct conclusion.

The culture around Fahrenheit 451 is wild. I recall it being thought of as a cool, progressive way to Own The Evangelicals about not liking Harry Potter enough, and then you actually open it up and it's just one long antiwoke screed with a long tangent about how gross it is when women aren't mothers

dystopian fiction was mostly a genre for right-wing idiots (including unaware ones) until the cold war ended, at which point it became a little more defensible but also attracted a lot of misogynistic rage as the average story became about being a teen girl rather than banging one
