Grammarly turned me into an AI editor against my will and I hate it The company tells Platformer it will let experts opt out of the controversial feature — but how different is it than what every other AI company is doing?

This is absolutely outrageous www.platformer.news/grammarly-ex... — jail for these motherfuckers, honestly.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social, don’t you love those shared values?

The annual cycle of Carlton fan pre-season manic optimism followed by crushing first round defeat is really one of the joys of this game. I say this with no malice; Geelong’s ability to lose unloseable Grand Finals is in the same category: painful to the team’s fans, a source of glee for all others.

pov you’ve just run into your lesbian couple friends who’ve been fighting a lot

As a Cats fan I reckon this is gonna be a bad year.

GAFF: Too bad she won’t live! But then again, who does?

DECKARD: I double checked and you’re right—she won’t live. I made a mistake, and that’s on me. Nice catch!

Dennis Cometti hailed as 'the best of his kind' after death Dennis Cometti — who called a range of sports for the ABC, Seven and Nine and was lauded for his football commentary over 50-plus years in the industry — is remembered as "the best of his kind" after ...

Had a little cry about this today. His voice narrates so many of my football feelings. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

The group chats are not having the gaslighting of this apology let me tell ya! #auspol

Designed by Bennett I assume!

If Albo is right that children are obliged to lie in the bed that their mother made, why is he sleeping at the Lodge and not a public housing flat, while the children of the "ISIS brides" must remain in a refugee camp in Syria? Seems a little inconsistent, logically, just saying.

Some humans consume a lot of energy and STILL never get smart, hey.

It's really really horrible. "I have nothing but contempt" is just a bitter, awful thing to hear from a Prime Minister about his own people.

I thought he died lol

An Instagram ad for Belong telco with the headline "Belong: leaving skid marks across the internet."

If anybody has any inside goss from the marketing meeting that approved this ad for Belong, I'd be deeply intrigued to hear it. 💩

I heard this song in the grocery shop last week and it’s hornier than I remembered.

The Point Live: It's on for the Liberals, protests planned for Melbourne in response to Isaac Herzog's planned visit Angus Taylor resigned from the front bench but is yet to announce when he will officially challenge for the leadership. Melbourne protesters prepare for the arrival of Israeli president, Isaac Herzog...

I am not sure you could come up with a worse put down of the Liberal front bench than James Paterson saying "Angus is the smartest policy brain in the shadow cabinet”

‘The logic of the mob’: Why Zadie Smith withdrew from Adelaide Writers’ Week The acclaimed novelist explains her decision and why she believes writers have a duty to speak.

Zadie Smith: “A Palestinian writer is a human being standing before an audience of other human beings, speaking. If you create a special category of speech…which is to be silenced before it’s even heard, then I think you make yourself ridiculous.” www.theage.com.au/culture/book...

Virginia and Sophie at Cuttagee. Sophie is giving Virginia a big kiss on the cheek. Virginia is very happy about this.

Soph and I have been married for ten years today and together for 25 this year. We got married in New York because ten years ago it still — remarkably — was not an option in Australia. We have a good marriage and we are happy and love each other and I am proud of us.

Very unexpected and welcome news!
