I know the poetic justice of the house that slaves built being torn down, but now they are also tearing down the house where a Black man was able to be president and that also meant something to me.

Response of DC leadership to federal moves to take over the police was too passive. There are plenty of areas for pushback (notably this absurd assertion of an emergency) and I'd prefer to see the city's leaders call them out.

This exact kind of dangerous "dropping tons of sensitive data into ChatGPT" behavior is happening at an absolutely staggering scale right now, all around the world:
I was the Director of IT at an org and one day, found out our CFO was putting all our MOUs into his personal ChatGPT account and HR was having conversations with a personal ChatGPT account to determine what salaries we should be offering staff.
Very concerning!
