This type of training is a great idea. Wish we had something similar in North America that was easily accessible

Your family is psychically vulnerable to President Carter’s wandering spirit. He can enter minds and infect them with thoughts of solar panels. To prevent this you can make or buy a specially designed net to ensnare his ghost, and it’s also a piece of art that brings both protection and beauty.

I don't think you should worry about sounding like AI when you write. I don't think you should worry about AI, period, especially with that molotov cocktail just sitting in your hand. The lighter clicks. The data center beckons. A soft summer breeze tousles your hair as if to say: Attaboy.

Reading this dude's account of a voyage in a wallowing, flat-bottomed tub of a schooner. He throws in this verse: "Three wise men of Gotham/ Went to sea in a bowl." 60 foot boat, 14 people, no shade, no room on the deck to walk, and so poorly trimmed that it stuffs itself into every swell 🤢🤮

Interesting work in progress here, and I'll happily note that one of the co-authors, Jacob Polay, who's now a grad student at the University of Saskatchewan, was an undergraduate in our program and I had the pleasure of teaching him. Glad to see he's doing good things.

This was me too, but the draft to revision process really matters for people who aren't otherwise gifted writers, AND for academic writing where you're developing an idea. Scalzi gets a break, but I probably should have listened to my teacher

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.
