I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

So JFK Jr was basically the real life version of Jon Hamm’s character on 30 Rock
I know the WaPo is complete trash nowadays but publishing an op-ed from an executive at Event Ticket Center that argues third party resellers aren’t the problem is just beyond embarrassing
this feels silly to say given the context for it but: huge news
running out of buses to throw his staff under, I see, now that he’s finally realized people don’t love him for this
This is spreading all over Bluesky today and is wildly misleading--it is from eight months ago and it is in reference to working with NATO allies and arming Ukraine.
it feels like my country is an assembly line for producing crimes against humanity which no one will ever punish, or even bother to pretend caring about, and it's making me crazy
Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”
I finally got my follow up mammogram.
Two weeks from today I’m having a biopsy.
Correct, Andy. Paperwork LEGALLY makes you American.

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.
the reason people hate deconversions isn’t for some dumb policy wonk reasons it’s because they are fundamentally suburban and antisocial. It’s actually literally gross to see your neighbors kicked out so someone can have a 3000 square foot house. It’s genuinely evil no matter “how many” there are

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.
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
Okay this bit is really funny
It happened in stages: we left one denomination for another (Presbyterian to Unitarian), then moved to a new state and couldn’t find a community we liked (we tried several), and then various life/existential circumstances made me question the whole thing. Agnostic/atheist now for at least 35 years.
