Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

I'm on a mission to make her famous, at least in NYC. The city is supposed to build a statue of her, though who knows if that's ever going to happen. I nominated her (I'm sure others did too). And a dear friend and her elementary students got a street named for her.
Location of proposed Elizabeth Jennings Graham monument draws fire
Some argue the statue of the Black woman credited with ending segregated streetcars in New York City should be placed in Lower Manhattan because of its significance to her story.

A Michigan appeals court ruled that the city of Detroit failed to follow *its own laws* about public oversight of surveillance tech. These laws are crucial bc "Automated license plate readers, facial recognition, body-worn cameras, drones, and the Real Time Crime Center are all active in the city."
