“Will you join me for lunch, A0743? I know a place in Little Humanity with the best cheesesteak sandwiches.”
B3975 indicates a hand painted sign with splashes of graffiti and other twenty-first century symbols of human culture. They proceed to order from a paper menu.
“Why would I want this sandwich when I can make a perfect sandwich at home?
“I believe humans make them better.”
“Humans do not have the algorithm. They are prone to deviation, even mistakes.”
“That’s right, humans will mess it up a little. That’s what makes it taste good.”
“Preposterous!”
A0743 takes a bite.
“Ingenious!”

Marvin in Charge
The pandemic was in full swing. My tuxedo cat, Bart, decided I was cramping his style with all this quarantine business and had made himself scarce. His daily hairballs were the only evidence of his existence. I was desperate for companionship and clean floors.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.

Why Black History Matters in America?
The United States of America is celebrating their 250th anniversary in 2026. I'm proud to be an American and as someone who was born here, I wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else. This is a country where opportunities are possible. Where anyone can be successful in anything they desire to do. Equality, community, and togetherness are the backbones of what America is and should be about. However, we have an administration who wants to erase and disregard those who have made positive, meaningful impacts in our country, specifically Black figures, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. President Trump and his administration have been constantly complaining and fighting against what they call the "Woke agenda". They use this excuse as a distraction from other issues they refuse to address, such as the high cost of living, climate change, and inflation. That equality is dividing America, when in reality, it's bringing us together. Being woke is not tied to a specific political party. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you can still care about other people and their plights. Compassion and empathy for others isn't tied to a political party, either. We were taught as children to treat others the way we want to be treated and not judge others because they're different from us. Caring about others isn't a personal attack on your beliefs. It doesn't make you any less of a person. People who are easily offended over African American figures, past or present, or anything related to it, are grasping at straws. Current and future generations need to know who people like Harriet Tubman and Shirley Chisholm were, especially in the classroom. Black History is part of American History. It should be recognized, not hidden or forgotten. Besides, you can't shield children from everything, just because your feelings are easily hurt.

I thought I had commented on this already, lol. Even mentioned it in the Raise Your Voice thread, guess I liked it but forgot to come back. Well done!
Loved this and the image so much! I’m glad the robots appreciate the human touch, maybe there’s hope they won’t destroy us 😅❤️
Ahhh, the human error! Can't believe it makes food more delicious, lol!
I thought it said cheesecake at first, but I do love cheesesteaks too! This was such a clever, fun piece. And I almost always think things taste better when someone else makes it for me, lol. Loved it :)
Really well done. Now I want a cheesesteak.
This is really cute
Mmm 😉😛Cheesesteaks are delicious❤️💯Great Story❗
