OpenAI says teen's 'misuse' of ChatGPT is to blame for his suicide, because he broke the TOU: 'Users must comply with OpenAI's Usage Policies, which prohibit the use of ChatGPT for suicide or self-har...

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

"Ever since this patio was built last spring, it has allowed me to catch my breath from the mayhem of prison. My general sadness lifted every time I visited the patio."
We Built a Patio at My Prison. It Has Changed My Life
Incarcerated women built a patio, and we use it for Bible study, leisurely picnics, to engage in mindfulness or yoga, and to play cards or crochet.

Missouri voters overturned a complete abortion ban at the ballot last year.

It is still difficult to receive reproductive care in the state because the Missouri GOP doesn't give two shits about the will or the voices of Missourians.
