well is frakkin enraging @officialgrammarly.bsky.social this is wrong, you absolute clowns who are also thieves, STOP DOING THIS GRAMMARLY
every time I think these LLM thieves have enraged me the absolute most, they go further 🌋🤮
I first reported about Quittr exposing user data in January, but was unable to name Quittr in the story because its creators, Alex Slater Connor McLaren, did not fix its security issues despite multiple requests and an offer from an independent researcher to help them fix the problem. Naming the app while hackers were still able to easily steal Quittr’s user data would have endangered their privacy and put them at risk of extortion from hackers, which is very common today. Some of the data exposed includes the users’ age, how often they masturbate, and how viewing pornography makes them feel. According to the data, many of them are minors.
"According to the data, many of them are minors."

"The gift of Andy and Fergie, which comes at too high a price, has been to bring the antiseptic of daylight to the culture of royal privilege."
Scathing.
"Grammarly curated a list of real people, gave its models free rein to hallucinate plausible-sounding advice on their behalf, and put it all behind a subscription. That's a deliberate choice to monetize the identities of real people without involving them, and it sucks." @caseynewton.bsky.social
this is ABSOLUTELY NUTS
incredible

this is so oddly wholesome
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but you can leave. You can pack a bag and leave. It's not easy and it's not logistically simple, but it is possible.
That looks amaaaazing
tbh I don’t want to hear the opinion of anyone who hasn’t read a romance novel in the last five years, either. a lot of you just want an excuse to talk shit about the genre
my mental health got a lot better when I figured out that I don’t have to weigh in every time there is a Discourse relevant to my field. the world does not actually need my official take on the 1st person POV in romance debate
(but it sucks and I miss 3rd person dual POV historical romances)

I read the Lindy West interview about polyamory in the NYT and now I understand the muted horror on my friends' faces as I relayed my polycule drama to them for years
Oh, those stream comments are gonna be a bloodbath 🥰🥰🥰
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
"The reason there are 51 men in jail is, rather, because of the wholly unprecedented scale and clarity of the evidence. Dominique Pelicot had filmed the rapes, keeping a meticulously documented archive of horrors, with the file name “abuse.” Still, Gisèle Pelicot was not universally believed."
As always
sucks to hear the HHS secretary talking about "spiritual warfare"
sucks that all this satanic panic christian demon bullshit has taken over our government
Hey, ace and aro writers? You belong.
I'm asexual and aromantic. I've won awards, published dozens of shorts, have a third novel coming out soon. And you belong as much as I do.
You don't need anybody's permission to belong. But I'm still going to say it: you belong here. We all do.
people need to stop blaming women who don't want kids for the declining birthrate and start blaming these guys
