Apple's built-in dictionary flags on my Mac: 26.2, which is newer than the article's 15.6. Apple has changed several things since:

  These are unchanged:
  - Trump is still sensitive with the politics topic. The lowercase card-game word "trump" is still
    clean.
  - Obama, Putin, Vance and Harris have no tier. Musk still isn't in the dictionary.
  - Tom and Mick are still offensive, and pee, poo, niggle, underling, blacklist and Isis are still
    sensitive.
  - idiot is still sensitive, and now also has the catch-all "sensitive context" topic.

  Words in the capitalized sensitive list that the article doesn't mention include Saddam, Grindr,
  Oedipus/Oedipal, TERF and Viagra. Trump is still the only living politician among them.
