Every human being code switches, not just Black people. The same way you speak to your friends is the same way you address your parents. We can provide so many examples of code switching, but yall want to make it a Black thing with an undertone of someone being fake. Be real.

Post DragonCon COVID test #1 is negative!

Fourteen years old. Fourteen. Two students and two teachers dead. At least nine others wounded. We are failing our children.

Okay. The IA has many incredible features. Scanning books of authors and lending them without obtaining any kind of permission isn't one of them. And if you want publishing to be able to win any cases against AI (who are *also* using the argument of "Fair Use", like IA did)--

"Donald Trump is 78 years old. If elected, he will be the oldest person to ever be sworn in as President of the United States. He is a man that is suffering from, I think, pretty obvious mental decline," says Chris Hayes
