Is it fair to say, in terms of brand, that Anthropic:OpenAI::Lyft:Uber?
"At 2:24 p.m., officers received information that a man who had been shot was calling and requesting help in the area of Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside. Officers responded and found a male and female with apparent gunshot wounds." Again, not only did CPB shoot, but they didn't help.

Has anyone come up with a site/app for sharing and rating protest signs?
The costumes in Portland are great. Now we just need loudspeakers blasting Yakety Sax whenever the feds come and go.
We need a word for "not surprising but still maddening." It will help us acknowledge the onslaught of evil without becoming numb to it. Any ideas?
I can't see the airport code DTW without mentally pronouncing the city it serves as "Detwoit." (Yes, I know the W is for Wayne County.)
"How do we take advantage of Dame rejoining the Blazers to get people to come to the game, but not falsely imply he'll be playing because he's injured?"
