I know. I know. I’ve been saying a lot about the evils of AI. And we can’t forget about that component, but when there is another side of the argument, I have to let you know about that, too. We’re going to take a deep dive into the ocean. Now that subject may seem like…

YOU ARE SO WRONG!
Recently Macy Petty, an NCAA volleyball player, wanted to post something on Twitter stating her opposition to male athletes who had decided to transition into females and play in women’s sports, but she couldn’t make it fit the word limit.
