Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

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.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

Half this app is bemoaning the fact that pizza hut no longer gives kids free pizza for doing a summer reading challenge but seriously check with your local library because ours gives out free zoo tickets and minor league baseball tickets for their summer reading prizes which is a much better deal.

This is false.

Jamal Harrison Bryant, a Megachurch pastor, has said the boycott is over. He is not leaders, plural. He and his church were not the ones to start the calls for boycott.

Nekima Levy Armstrong, who founded the Racial Justice Network, and other Minnesota civil rights activists were.

conservative evangelicalism is the direct theological offspring of slaveholder christianity and it contains all of its pathologies, part infinity

And their statements suggested that pointing out what he did was worse than him doing it! I think about that a lot.

just remembering the time the Washington Post leadership hung my friend Felicia, a sexual assault victim, out to dry because she tweeted *a link to a news story* about the rape when he died.

Back in the day I was working a food booth at a musical festival and a guy dropped a five dollar bill in the tip jar and I thanked him profusely because I knew exactly how many McDoubles that represented and precisely how many more cents I needed for an additional McDouble

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

And VERY anecdotally you see this with the measles outbreaks. When they get big enough parents start vaccinating.

Kids shouldn't have to get sick for this to happen

The thing that I don't think they've fully grasped is because we've had two nearly three generations of adults who have been vaccinated, people are going to realize pretty quickly shit is bad when suddenly their kids are dying.

Hey, fun fact: someone stood up a "Epstein-Trump connection skeptic bot" recently that executes searches to the Bluesky firehouse and reply guys Trump-Epstein claims with propaganda. It also defends the Iran war and tries to shut down attacks on Netanyahu.

Trump: we're gonna kill you all. we're gonna regime change you. we want nothing less than unconditional surrender

Mojtaba: guess we're going down together then

trump: [surprised pikachu.jpg]

i sort of think part of the problem here is that accurately portraying american sentiment about this war would shred a lot of other assumptions about the second trump admin that much of the political press have been running with since the start

This is a powerful letter from Minneapolis Legislative Delegation asking Mayor Frey to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives.

16/17 state legislators who represent Minneapolis signed onto this letter. It’s time for Mayor Frey to sign this ordinance and support our immigrant neighbors.

It’s day 99 of the ICE occupation of MN.

We’re still out patrolling and raising money and delivering groceries to keep our neighbors safe.

Call and ask Mayor Frey to do the same by NOT vetoing Pause Evictions, Save Lives.

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

Sheesh it’s only been a couple of years or decades since they started crawling.

Grammarly Is Offering ‘Expert’ AI Reviews From Your Favorite Authors—Dead or Alive The tool, offered by the recently-rebranded company Superhuman, gives feedback based on the work of famous dead and living writers—without their permission.

“Instead of producing what looks like a generic critique from a nameless LLM,” Wired reported last week, Expert Review “lists a number of real academics and authors available to weigh in on your text. To be clear: Those people have nothing to do with this process.”🤬

Hmm… is that a furry thing?

For reference, the DoD cut $15M in pancreatic cancer research funding last year.

With this war on Iran costing $1B per day, we are now at 4$B, an amount that would fund 3,200 five year NIH biomedical research grants.

Temporary Shock or Lasting Scar? Life Expectancy Trajectories Since COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic led to substantial life expectancy losses globally. Historically, life expectancy reversals have been followed by rapid returns to previous trajectories, but whether this is true...

Today, informed people are watching the war in Iran & the trade issues its causing. Historians are talking about reliving the mid-1970s with oil shocks & stagflation, while it feels like most Americans haven't registered how bad it could get.

It feels like Spring 2020. Informed people saw the Covid virus coming. I warned students Japan had closed its schools & that this was possible in the US. We bought groceries for a possible lock down while the clerk looked at us like we were crazy. Then over spring break the whole world changed.
