This is interesting. Does anyone know whether this is standard for journalism? I'd be really grateful for examples of zero tolerance, because my publisher's response to AI is to shrug and accept it.

För 19 år sen släppte Planka.nu rapporten ”Highway to Hell” om Förbifart Stockholm. Idag sprang 34 000 löpare i första delen av tunneln, som öppnar i höst, oironiskt till just den låten. En seger för massbilismen och en förlust för klimat, miljö, trafik och stadsplanering.

Måste bara rekommendera Majornas Bryggeri för alla som vill ha lite ”gôtt häng” i Göteborg. Man måste inte dricka alkohol här, men deras öl är bryggd i rummet bredvid restaurangen. #GbgFTW #MajornasBryggeri #Majorna

Till våren ger jag kursen "Politiskt språk, påverkan och manipulation" igen, som halvfartskurs sen eftermiddag (15-18). Veckodag inte helt klart än. Jag vet att det finns de som hade velat gå den som distanskurs, men nej, jag behöver ha den på plats, åtminstone denna gång. www.lu.se/studera/sven...

This will be great! We planned to hold the conference in HK, but with on-going problems in the Middle East the CL organising group thought we should switch venues. Thanks so much to Mark and Stefania for stepping in. It will be a great conference in a great location - Venice!

For all travelling south from #CADS2026 that do not need to speak with anyone, I can recommend the quiet coach at 10 on the platform (look at the ground, yellow circles with numbers tell you where the coaches' doors are). Aircon and everything, at least on the train I took.
