As a former long-time Chicago-area resident who has lived in Asheville more than a decade, it's impossible to overstate just how critical @blueridgepublic.bsky.social was to all of us, regardless of political persuasion, here in Western North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

My colleagues at the White House developed an AI Bill of Rights in 2022, shown on the left, which outlined principles to protect people and communities. A lot of the work I’m doing now is defining my principles and analysis for a climate amendment to the AI Bill of Rights, as shown on the right.

There are any number of legitimate reasons to use the passive voice, including not knowing who did the action you’re describing, or the whom is more interesting/germane than the who.

Exonerating the Gestapo is not one of those legitimate reasons.
