the way it seems right now, irans goal is to destroy our economy and our goal is to provide footage for dank memes the administration can post so edgelords will think theyre cool

Just gonna bump Betty Gilpin’s essay every time these weirdos release another AI mess with the thing they literally prompted into being

So proud to be a part of this project, and to have worked with so many excellent writers. I hope you love it. Thanks, @sandyernestallen.bsky.social for having me.

an email to from Grammarly's autoresponder that reads: expert opt out 7:33 PM (2 minutes ago) Thank you for reaching out. After careful consideration, we have decided to disable Expert Review while we reimagine how to make it more useful for customers and more respectful of the experts whose work it surfaces. The feature will be disabled starting March 12, 2026. We're sorry, and we appreciate you holding us to a higher standard. This is an automated response.

lol they must have gotten SO MANY emails bc I sent mine almost a full day ago and I just got this auto response

A screenshot of my animal crossing game in May 2020 of my little human like character standing inside an open-air version of a taco bell and chilis restaurant. I created pixelated versions of the logos and set up little tables and food stands to make it look like a restaurant.

i do actually need you to know this is a legitimate boycott, not an i-never-eat-at-chilis-anyway situation. here's the combination taco bell / chilis i built in animal crossing in 2020

I do like their southwest eggrolls lol but, like, you think i can't give that up chilis!!!

idk i just don't think i should get a horrible headache that goes into my teeth just bc there's a lot of water vapor in the air outside

personally I really appreciate small gestures of performative support because I know the worst-case scenario for that interaction is cringe allyship, not being harassed

i haven't bought anything at target since 2024 and you know what it was easy as hell for me, chilis is gonna be even easier

thank you for checking!

welp, another one for the boycott list. hope you have fun sitting next to target, chilis.

Invasive parasite that spreads its seed into other things that it then grotesquely puppets with the goal of sucking the planet dry and then repeating the cycle? Which is then spread willingly by irresponsible rich folk who believe it to be the next frontier of human evolution?

Yup, checks out.

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.

(anyone have a gift link to the above -- does wired do gift links? -- I checked the gift link feed but didn't see any)

lmao I didn't even get a bot response those assholes!!!!!

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.

Looking forward to the era of AI social science: the data is AI-generated, the paper is written by AI, the paper is reviewed by AI, and summarized for students and researchers by AI.

virtue signaling is good. practicing virtue is better, but both signaling AND practicing virtue is best.

I’ve covered the South Asian diaspora for over a decade. Zohran Mamdani’s election not only thrust South Asian Americans as a formidable political force but also reshaped the equation of who gets to define that label — the new South Asian Power Broker is here

Great. So if you write to BlueSky support about a violation of your intellectual property, they reply telling you to contact another email address, which replies telling you to contact BlueSky support.

i think she just thought it was going to be a fun little comic book movie for her small children and then was like "oh no"

hahaha oh no we're here

sometimes if i get the same reply more than four times to something, i will lock replies so i don't have to see it again lol

hahaha oh amazing
