This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:

A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"

But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

Because ICE’s job isn’t actually immigration enforcement.

Vantabeige is the colour and texture of an inoffensive object in your home that’s past its usefulness, but is still there and you don’t really care enough one way or the other to remove it. If you look around now you’ll see it, and realise you could discard it or move it on but you’ll forget to.

One thing that is true in this age of "AI" is that authenticity is going to be prized more than ever before. A single hand-scrawled sign is going have more impact than the smoothest "AI" image because the people seeing it knows it comes from someone's brain, not a tuned algorithm.
