The first trans person I ever met was a waitress at Chilli's.
I was 17 and with a Pentecostal (Church of God) church group. And I had no idea how to refer to her.
"Our waitβwait, what do I call her or him?" I said.
"You call her a waitress," the youth pastor said. "She's wonderful. We love her."
Christian Roselund @roselund.bsky.social Does Platner play up the blue-collar shtick? Sure. That's populism. Huey Long did the same thing and Louisiana got roads, bridges & LSU medical school, and the nation got social security, rural electrification and other 2nd New Deal goodies. The tattoo? Give me a break. Bigger fish to fry people./8 12:29 PM β’ Mar 11, 2026

A guy named Christian dismissing a Nazi tattoo? Itβs more likely than you think!
Talk about a Temu trademark threat.
Someone with Grammarly will have to tell me whether or not I'm being faked in this cursed app and also whether the advise it gives is any other than "use the word 'fuck' more often"

I'll tell you, if a woman who cared about sports had written this, it would have been taken as evidence that she didn't understand sports.
17. At the Hearing, Ms Kreisberger KC, evidently on instructions and in the presence of Mr Bavasso, told me that the reason why the deadline was missed in this case was because the legal team working on the matter had been proceeding on an interpretation of rule 112 of the Tribunal Rules which Aramark now accepts was erroneous. She was at pains to assert that this was not a case where there had been a careless failure to meet the deadline. She told me that "minds were applied" to rule 112. She explained that Simpson Thacher & Bartlett understood the effect of rule 112(2) to be that the day on which the Report was published and notified to the parties (i.e. Thursday, 15 January 2026) should not be counted at all. Against the background of that reading of rule 112(2), they read the phrase "day during which the event or action from which the period is to be calculated occurred or took place" in rule 112(3) as referring to Friday, 16 January 2026.
Appellate lawyers: I have for you a nightmare morsel this evening. Lawyers counted the appellate deadline wrong and now a merger has to be undone.

It actually rules to watch LLM centrism develop in real time. "Ok yes, tech bros are taking things way too far but LLM skeptics are just as silly, surely we can all agree that it's a transformative new technology and we all need to get onboard" and like, bro. Bro. We know who's side you're really on
I hate it here
So apparently grammarly stole my fuckin identity
βInstead of producing what looks like a generic critique from a nameless LLM,β Wired reported last week, Expert Review βlists a number of real academics and authors available to weigh in on your text. To be clear: Those people have nothing to do with this process.βπ€¬
just remembering the time the Washington Post leadership hung my friend Felicia, a sexual assault victim, out to dry because she tweeted *a link to a news story* about the rape when he died.
βHeyβ came before βhi,β and βhi' came before βhello.β
βHiβ is most likely a variant of βhey.β
βHelloβ is not related to either.
Goodbye.
Judge: why are you using AI to do run of the mill issue spotting which is a basic part of your job?

A little offended Grammarly didn't make a sloppelganger of me

reminder: for covid, you won't show pos for 36-48hrs after exposure.
if your flight's friday morning, testing = inaccurate anytime before saturday night (unless you're feeling sick sooner)
also why it's responsible to stay at home for a few days after events so tests+no symptoms can be verified.
Why...did CNN do this
Grammarly declined my request to interview CEO Shishir Mehrotra today. But it told me that in response to criticisms, it will allow experts to opt out of the feature by emailing expertoptout@superhuman.com. The company gave me this statement over email: Weβve heard the feedback about this tool and appreciate the engagement from those who have taken the time to raise thoughtful questions about the functionality and the experts surfaced. We agree that the product experience can be improved for both users and experts. The agent was designed to help users discover influential perspectives and scholarship that add value to their work. We want the people behind those perspectives to have greater control over whether their name is used, while providing new ways for influential voices to reach new audiences. Our goal is to improve Expert Review to deliver this outcome.
NEWS: Grammarly tells me it will let "experts" like me opt out of having their names used against their will and for no compensation as part of its "expert review" feature www.platformer.news/grammarly-ex...

"The academic publishers Elsevier, Taylor and Francis and Springer Nature all confirmed to The Observer that scholarly slop is real β and growing βat scaleβ, according to an Elsevier spokesperson. None were able to share their data, but there are signs the problem is prevalent." Cheers guys.
This is delightful which of course it is because itβs Tim Curry dammit but it contains two earth shattering revelations for the Curryverse and they are
1) he was considered for Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park
2) he read the screenplay for Silence of the Lambs and wanted to be cast as Hannibal Lector
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I can't compete with this.
increasingly believing much of the communication gap between LLM Enthusiasts and LLM Skeptics on this website boils down to βare you someone who has largely experienced a *reasonable* amount of job security in tech, or are you someone who has not experienced job security and likely arenβt in techβ
So much tech advance in the last 2 decades has been about at least the appearance of giving tools and control to people. Even the whole gig economy was sold as being your own boss. LLMs feel bad because they feel like the opposite of that.
This situation went from appalling to hilarious at some point. π
