This is wild!
I actually used Grammarly for years because I have mad dyslexia and I need all the help I can get.
But they were also one of the first (and most aggressive) to shove a bunch of wonky AI into their product. Like to the point it started changing the whole meaning of sentences.
The system works as the system is designed.
Handy tip for cis folk, we aren't an idea, like freedom or liberty, we are actual flesh and blood people. So if you're going to write a thread about us, make sure you get a trans friend to read it first, and if you don't have a trans friend, ask yourself why the fuck not and stop writing about us
I spent the weekend in Minneapolis at the memorial site where VA nurse Alex Pretti was killed.
Across the street, thousands gathered in the rain for a tribute concert headlined by the Dropkick Murphys.
So far weβve raised $46K+ for the community.π

The cool intellectual villain who is defeated by the fist-swinging' sun king hero has been an archetype in American entertainment since basically forever
Didn't happen of course, but he's on to something, there's definitely a class of people in this country who wouldn't know what to do at a grocery store but they're all billionaires
We're happy to be quoted here, but when we joined the lawsuit against Trump's illegal tariffs almost a year ago, it wasn't about the money. It was about fighting Trump's fascist agenda and his unending grift.
What experts say about AI psychosis, how ProtonMail data helped the FBI identify a protester, and a viral app that exposed incredibly personal data of hundreds of thousands of people.
The shoe thing is low on the "important global matters" scale, but HIGH on the "I'll take things a deranged Roman emperor would do for $500, Alex" chart.
This is a great craft thread! Some fantasic stuff in here that has a much broader application than just Star Wars, especially about how you can convey a lot with a little and how to layer background complexity into a scene without choking it
Anyway, the answer is βthatβs what the organizing is for.β
βI donβt know how it will address fears that a small group of tech oligarchs are working feverishly to design a future in which many of the rest of us might be rendered functionally obsolete.β

Teju Cole wasnβt addressing AI but his point reminds me of how AI βwritingβ reads like autopilot.
βI love to read a thing and feel a mind moving. Thatβs what I admire, and consequently thatβs what I aspire to... to feel like, βOh, this person is not on autopilot. Thereβs a mind at work here.ββ

this will never pass, everyone involved know it will never pass, and you shouldn't give authoritarians like Josh Hawley antitrust credibility they never had to actually earn
Image of Jacob Wysocki screaming with poorly edited text that says "you are AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL."
YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW YOUR FAVORITE THINGS. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW BAD AND ITS OK. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN TRY DIFFERENT MEDIUMS. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW YOUR FAVES FUCKING NASTY. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WI
John Brown and his sons famously hacked 5 pro-slavery men to death in Kansas. Using broadswords. Contemporaries credit them with scaring the fuck out of the slavers at the realization that some of the "free men" were also willing to be brutally violent.
I'll try to write a story a week this year, Bradbury-style. It's off to a rocky start. π
I challenged myself to write a feel-good solarpunk story, not my strong suit traditionally, because of all the, well, *everything*.
Had to do a lot of drafting... But now I finally got it. π€

Kunio saying Trans Rights are Human Rights
Greetings to all my new followers.
I have a message for you
Kinda weird that the US elite is full of child molesters flying to pedophile island but if a poor artist ages Sailor Moon up to 18 to sell porn to anime fans she gets obliterated from the internet
"I have always said that it was the suburbs that killed him. It was the systemically violent and hostile way that we design our cities that killed him. It was the egotistical and patriarchal culture of entitlement to The Road that killed him."
The biggest laugh I gave about the Subscribestar rules was "underage-looking characters." Oh so even if you say they're an adult, their boobs are too small which means they're a child now. It's so obviously some rich christian moron at a bank making this up as he goes.
I'm constantly mad about this. I've never hurt anyone writing fucky stories for perverts and we're watching the details of child sex abuse coming out for the first time done by the people who ruin the globe. I have to suffer for imagined harm - real harm done by Bill Gates is not to be considered.

Russia builds the brains of its missiles. Ukraine reaches the factory.
Ukraine struck Bryanskβs Kremniy El plant, which makes microelectronics for Iskanders, Pantsirs, radar, EW, and drones. After repeated drone hits, it has finally met Ukraineβs missile program.
Beloveds, I had a shit day, and I need you to know that what kept me from walking into the sea was βdonβt talk to me until Iβve had my SONβ
The fun part is it's all subjective.
I've drawn plenty of bdsm, some rough sex, characters with animal traits like tails. What constitutes a violation of the terms? Where are the lines drawn?
We are heading down a dark path and we have to be loud about it.
