I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
What an irresponsible conclusion to reach and an abject failure of journalism. And not just because it's not even spring yet. The lede, essentially, is 'they said they'd come back to Chicago but instead they fired Noem'. ICE is still here in Chicago and elsewhere, but we should relax now?

Three cheers for IL Governor JB Pritzker, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly, and all the other local officials who showed the feds that Illinois cops can beat protestors with the best of them.
Good. Fuck 'em.
The reactions, chef's kiss.
No more excuses. No "presidential waivers". Not one more cent. We must pass Block the Bombs, reclaim our War Powers, and hold Trump and Netanyahu accountable.
#EarlyVoting starts TODAY in all 50 Wards and the suburbs, and while the world is a dumpster fire and the Federal government is the worst, we've got a chance to fight back at the polls between now and the 17th. Whether you're in the City, in the suburbs, or in our new readership hotspot in Aurora...
Those eyes - zoom in on them.
LOL
He looks good at least
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting Trump's illegal war against Iran, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
Ben Joravsky and I talked about the black curtain at Mar-a-Lago and the deeply unsettling aesthetics of this administrations foreign policy "deliberations" back in January.
I talk about how useful my college art history class has been in understanding this kind of political performance.
