A kid got arrested and booked but we have friends now going to the jail to get him out on bond. I will make sure to follow up to see if there’s any legal help we can give him, record expungement etc especially if he’s 18.

Just when you thought publishing news couldn't get weirder, Grammarly’s AI bots start cosplaying as IRL writers (some from beyond the grave; others alive and prob drafting lawsuits right now).

Grammarly's "Expert Review" grift is the latest example of how AI writing tools have lost the plot. 🧵

Consider checking out my shop, i would love to sell $25 worth of items today so i can cash out from square and afford pasta from the grocery store, a soda, and some bread. I hope that isnt too much to ask the universe for good luck with. 🙏🤞 pray for me if youre into that

We love flowers, of course.
