AI reportedly smeared an innocent person as a sex offender, cancelling his paid work, a concert in Canada this musician would play at.
AI is a cancer.
New from me: The storied fiddler Ashley MacIsaac wanted to play a show at a Nova Scotia First Nation. It got cancelled because Google's AI search summary incorrectly called him a sex offender. Now he's worried for his safety www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

Waymo self-driving doesn’t work during power outages? DC needs UDC to become expert at such issues & laws & policies places like DC should require, such as manage power outages & the crisis that created it.

This list of Dem US Rep voting against DC’s correct ban on cash bail, a DC ban designed to stop punishing poor people in DC,

is a list worth remembering of Dem US Reps unreliable on #DCstatehood movement’s component issues.
These 28 Democrats joined House Republicans in voting to repeal DC's law to effectively abolish cash bail.

Why do they think they should have more of a say than DC residents?

Why do they want to enable Trump's fascism?

Why are they so blatantly racist?

Wine skin “quercetin” maybe causing hang-overs, by spiking acetaldehyde.

DC requires #DCstatehood to free DC to grow DC’s public university UDC by adding grad schools for agriculture, culinary & beverage, chemistry, biology, biochemistry.
Why does red wine trigger headaches for some people?

Chemists say the answer may lie in quercetin, a natural compound in grape skins that can interfere with alcohol metabolism and spike acetaldehyde levels.

I saw Tom Stoppard’s play “Arcadia” in the mid 1990s at Haymarket in London UK. It was glorious.
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Wow! Mayor Muriel Bowser D-DC will not seek Washington DC Mayor in 2026.

This MAY indicate DC Delegate / US Rep Eleanor Holmes Norton D-DC is quietly retiring, & Bowser is quietly angling to run for the most important elected #DCstatehood job, DC Delegate / US Rep.

#DCstatehoodNews
Quite the pre-Thanksgiving news: Mayor Muriel Bowser will not seek a fourth term in office. That's a huge opening a mayoral race that still doesn't have any major candidates in it, but with possible entries from Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George and At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie.

Jeffries: "There's additional funds that are available to be reallocated so that not a single person in this country goes hungry. And if that happens beginning on November 1, it's because Donald Trump and Republicans want the American people to go hungry."

There is not much DC Government or DC citizens are actually willing to do to go after GOP candidates with JimCrow/KKK records, so these meetings don’t really matter.

Same DC doesn’t even push defense of our allies like US Sen Bob Casey D-PA & Sherrod Brown D-OH.
The New Columbia Statehood Commission is meeting this coming Monday, October 27 for the first time since *July 20, 2023*…

The Commission “provides support to the shadow Congressional Delegation in promoting statehood for DC and voting rights for DC residents.”

Horrifying Pb/lead exposure in protein powder. These products need to be banned & punished.
lastly, a common rebuttal to contaminant reporting is that there are unavoidable levels of lead in lots of foods. some context:

taking just one serving of one of the powders we tested would expose you to 45% more lead than the average american gets from everything they eat/drink in a day combined

My Aunt Margot does quality work on Ken Burns “Prohibition”.

I miss Aunt Margot. She was my grandmother’s bestie from summer camp when they were very young, & she married (& divorced) my grandmother’s brother.

She was wonderful, & lived 100+ years.
