Grammarly will probably find that this ploy doesn’t work in court. If I was one of the authors whose identities they’ve stolen, I’d make it my mission to burn the entire company to the ground.

Keine Entschädigung: Flugzeug in Linz gepfändet Eine nicht geleistete Entschädigungszahlung der irischen Billigfluggesellschaft Ryanair an eine Frau hat auf dem Linzer Flughafen nun eine kuriose Konsequenz nach sich gezogen. Ein Exekutor brachte in...

So because #Ryanair in 2024 treated a passenger to a 13-hour delay and €890 in costs for a new flight, and then simply ghosted her, an Austrian court today impounded one of its airplanes at Linz airport. ooe.orf.at/stories/3345...

One of the benefits of using alt text is that it makes you think about where an image comes from and why you are using it.

The science of racism with Professor Keon West

Learning from the Lives of Threatened Plants Whose lives count in the modern history of extinction? Sadiah Qureshi considers what historians can learn by paying attention to the remarkable lives of plants.

“Paying attention to plants challenges historians to radically rethink common divisions of time and place, and assumptions about whose lives are historically interesting or significant.”

Maybe I'm crazy but I'd prefer to see AI work labelled as AI rather than "human-authored" work labelled as human.
