I think several state and local Democrats saw this as an opportunity to align themselves strongly with the police, to "repair" what they saw as broken after 2020. This was a moment of opportunity. Of course, kissing up means jettisoning tough questions of how the police behaved that night.

I've been thinking of the scales of potential use. I feel strongly that I do not want to publish text written by AI. But is it the same to use AI to develop a list of citations to examine? Or AI to compile reams of interview text? AI to transcribe audio recordings? Are these really rote tasks?

Yeah, I think it's an epigraph because of placement and intent, not based on attribution. Unless there is a very obscure term for this very specific flourish (there probably is).

Is it really a problem to ask authors disclose this in a book proposal? Honest question. (I am weighing this myself).

From what I heard, he escaped into the house, so they surrounded the house and eventually went in with a drone. I'd like to know the duration between officers arriving at Hortman's home and the moment they discovered her body.
