Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI β€˜Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academicsβ€”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.

Hot take but I just think mass death is extremely bad under all circumstances

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

Especially when we are talking functionally about a small minority of their overall tenant population, plus the pause is temporary with the assumption that back rent will still eventually need to be paid. The proposal is not "everyone should get free rent for two months!" (I wish it was tbh!)

Do you do the water bead test before you put your oil in? I had to start doing it every time bc I get impatient and lie to myself that the pan is ready

You know how everyone has their one thing about this administration that they know is not the main bad thing, but it's the needle in their heart, specifically? USIP is mine.

This is why you can't really collaborate with the feds under any circumstances. If your policy is "we will only collaborate with them when it's unrelated to civil immigration enforcement" then the Trump administration will just lie about what they're doing!

This is unconscionable. If you need this equipment, a six month delay could be the difference between being able to leave your home at all, being able to secure your basic needs. A prosthesis or mobility aid is not a "nice to have." it is essential medical care.

What Elon Has Done Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has faded from public consciousness in America, despite leaving death and destruction in its wake.

Recurring pattern: The US makes policy choices that have massive policy consequences for other countries, but rate at best a couple days of domestic news coverage. Then a decade or two later we’re utterly baffled that people in those places despise us. www.liberalcurrents.com/what-elon-ha...

Exciting news! We just posted an opening for a Survey Associate on @pewresearch.org's Methods team! This is an amazing opportunity for someone relatively early in their career to join what is, IMO, the most fun methods team in the business. Full description at the link below.

I'm not saying they experience no social consequences, I'm saying they're competent adults who understand why they have mild social conflict with people with distinct views, rather than those people immediately acquiescing and adopting their perspective

I have many conservative students and a face that invites complaints and confidences, and none suggested to me this is of concern, even if they have a lot of peers and friends that don't agree with them, something that it is easy for them to have if they aren't, interpersonally, a complete asshole.

Oh well if torture memo guy says all this is just a return to normal, a normal in which Nixon was paying thugs to rig elections and lying to congress to conceal our war crimes, then probably it's fine and we should all stop worrying

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

Incredible to try to prove the point that these are exclusionary with the example of a man who persistently invaded these spaces with minimal consequence except not receiving much benefit from attending

A Post investigation found that at least 230 children died in the late 19th and early 20th centuries at a now-defunct, segregated juvenile detention center in Maryland.

As the lead sponsor of a new bill, Del. Jeffrie E. Long Jr. (D) is hoping it will provide some answers. https://wapo.st/4s0DBTE

The tone and inconsistency of the support responses suggest to me that this is basically a chat bot. I would not be surprised at all to find no human being at tiktok has touched this case.

a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal

I suspect we're going to find out something similar is behind the apparent uptick in GRFP desk rejects for ineligible content
