Grammarly will keep using authors’ identities without permission unless they opt out expertoptout@superhuman.com.

Oh, the size of the lawsuit, babe…

‘There’s not a single word about “permission” in that statement, and no sign that Grammarly is walking back the idea. It sounds like the company fully intends to keep pretending real human beings are behind its edits, just with “greater control”.’

‘Initially, NASA predicted the spacecraft would return home in 2034.

This War With Iran Will Cost More Than We Can Afford Iraq cost us $6 trillion. Even a short Iran war could add $1 trillion to a budget deficit that Trump may already be tripling.
