A lot of people wonder why I'm having this conversation with you. It's because there are people out there who I want to have a conversation with."

“Neoclassical architecture isn’t always a right-wing dogwhistle,” noted one commentator. An executive order like this, however, coming from an administration with a long record of using coded references to white supremacy, probably is. The hate groups certainly hear it. "
In case you missed it, the felon now wants to replace the columns on the White House with something that isn't in keeping with the architecture of the building and is gaudy. I'm sure the filigree will be gold plated for emphasis.
For 200 years, the White House has been a symbol of enduring democracy. To Donald Trump, it’s just another fixer-upper with a gold-leaf budget. Replacing Ionic columns with "Corinthian" isn't an upgrade, it's the desecration of our national heritage by a tenant who doesn't respect his lease.

Turns out the machine based on a statistical model of human communication carries our biases with it
"large language models such as ChatGPT were consistently advising women to ask for lower salaries than men in recruitment processes,... AI tools already in use by more than half of England’s councils were downplaying women’s medical conditions, potentially resulting in unequal care"
How tech turned against women
As AI-generated sexualised images proliferate and app-facilitated abuse spreads, we are sleepwalking into a new age of gender inequality. It is time to regulate properly

If Trump can void clemency, then the next president can void all of Trump’s pardons, right?
A federal court has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from transferring inmates with commuted death sentences to a prison known for harsh conditions. More on the case: bit.ly/4kx9TC2
Administration’s Plan Seeks to Undo Biden’s Federal Death Row Commutations
The proposal would undermine the Constitution’s clemency authority, as well as the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.
