Grammarly's AI-fueled edits -- using my name - suggested making up sources and writing vague insinuations.
In my latest for @nytopinion.nytimes.com (gift link) I describe Grammarly's terrible edits in my name -- and call for a federal right of publicity.

As an aside, artists if you want couples drawing prompts look up weed strain names because they're funny and also the way of writing them (strain 1 X strain 2) makes me think of fanfiction pairings
So weed has funny names sometimes from combining the names of parent strains but ever since I heard of one called "horchatti" (horchata X biscotti) I have wondered what a horchata flavoured biscotti would tastee like. I am not high enough level in baking to try it. But I think it would be delicious

HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
Dark money groups are paying influencers to spread attacks about our campaign.
Voters deserve to know who is trying to manipulate our election.
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

Say it again: Smut, porn and sex workers are the canaries down the coal mine of censorship and you need to stand up for them now.
However you feel about pornography the people who make it are artists and deserve to be able to express themselves in their medium the same as the rest of us.
hard not to read all this age verification and censorship shit as our deeply reactionary government got the faintest whiff that an unchecked internet severely interferes with their ability to propagandize and decided it had to die

Just some quick math, by the by.
A VLCC carries about 2 million barrels of oil per shipment. That's 84 million gallons.
The largest tanker trucks have a capacity of 11,600 gallons.
Each VLCC supertanker would need 7,241 trucks. 30+ VLCC tankers pass through the straights daily, in peacetime.

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.
