I've never used grammarly but if you have an account, I'd throw it in the trash and set it on fire because what the actual fuck

Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."
As long as you donβt need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things arenβt so bad.
Whatβs fucking enraging about this is that every lovely turn of phrase the AI churns out is human-authored. Google each fragment of the below - βforged in dying stars,β βcreated in stellar furnaces,β βthe universe is not indifferent to us,β βimplicated in something vastβ - and youβll find a source.
We didn't ruin the economy.
We didn't get you laid off.
We didn't replace you with AI.
We didn't raise gas prices.
We didn't foreclose your home.
We didn't cause your divorce.
We didn't get your kid snatched by ICE.
We aren't in the Epstein files.
Leave us the fuck alone.
Basically, take the amount of money you think your favorite author gets, halve it, and then halve it again, and you have a number that's probably a lot closer to their actual earnings from writing.
"But I don't think they make that much!"
Halve that. Halve it again.
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
The DOJ is suggesting that gender-affirming care providers may be engaging in "conspiracy" because they're prescribing medications off-label. That poses danger for an important backstop in the event old restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone are restored:
Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
Blaming YA (or romance) for publishing woes is just code for blaming women.

So I don't know what to say about this book. Ten years after Saeldian ditched Kell in Baldur's Gate, they're back together for one last job
Kell will get everything he ever wanted. Saeldian will lose everything they have except the power that keeps them safe--but it's the least they can do for him.
Have you ever wanted to be written into a book? Well now is your chance! And youβll support a great convention givebutter.com/c/TDjjcg/auc...
Seems pretty ideal, especially because croissants π
Also though, unless this happens because you were driving drunk, itβs not your fault no matter how anyone makes you feel.
Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."
Happy international women's day to all women tall or short, thick or thin, cis or trans! #iwd #international #womens #day
Happy birthday! If this were a painting it would be titled βAuthor in a Cracker Barrelβ
Bart Simpson lamenting, "This is the stupidest auction Lucas has ever done." Homer smiles and corrects him, "Stupidest auction Lucas has done *so far*"
One day left on the stupidest charity auction I've ever done!
Seriously. This is daft. I don't know how it reached $777.
The winner gets something pointless, and helps either Kansas trans folks or MN ICE victims.

My answer these days is just okay? I hope they find other books in the POV they like? Sometimes I write first, sometimes I write third sometimes I write in second.
Enjoy. I can't really change the book I've already written and I'm not a burger restaurant so I can't make books to order?
Ope

Sometimes I love humans, weβre so silly
I canβt wait to watch this, I love bonkers
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

On top of all of its other disastrous effects on the environment, the economy, education, creative fields, and many more, perhaps GenAI's most odious characteristic is how self-referential all of this is. "We need to train people to use GenAI so that they will use GenAI." Blech.
The people who mocked you as a child for thinking your stuffed animals had personalities are trying to convince us that the computer they use for therapy and revenge porn has anxiety now.
