An open letter to Grammarly and other plagiarists, thieves and slop merchants To everyone at Grammarly, I am writing a book right now, a really challenging endeavor that no doubt someone in Silicon Valley will think it’s fine to steal the day it’s published. I’ve been a profes...

They are going to get this in the form of an email in the morning. I am currently examining legal options. Gosh, I’ll be so sad if any Grammarly lawyers or PR people are caused any agita if they read this! www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

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.

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 Went to Minneapolis. Here’s What the Rest of America Needs to Know. Dispatch from the Alex Pretti tribute concert with the Dropkick Murphys β€” and why the people of Minneapolis say the rest of the country needs to prepare now.

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 we’ve raised $46K+ for the community.πŸ‘‡

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.

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

Opinion | Data Centers Are a Distraction. The Real Fight Is Elsewhere.

Anyway, the answer is β€œthat’s what the organizing is for.”

β€œI don’t 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.”

Teju Cole wasn’t addressing AI but his point reminds me of how AI β€œwriting” reads like autopilot.

β€œI love to read a thing and feel a mind moving. That’s what I admire, and consequently that’s what I aspire to... to feel like, β€˜Oh, this person is not on autopilot. There’s a mind at work here.β€™β€œ

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

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. πŸ˜… 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. πŸ€“

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

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 Bryansk’s Kremniy El plant, which makes microelectronics for Iskanders, Pantsirs, radar, EW, and drones. After repeated drone hits, it has finally met Ukraine’s missile program.

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.
