Writers, if you are against AI, do not put your writing into ANY tool that is itself AI. Not to check grammar, not to "prove" you wrote it yourself. Everything you give them becomes part of their data, even if it's only to "improve their service" or whatever BS they tell you.

I’m less interested in what Bluesky is doing because of Blacksky and the over diversification of the Atmosphere ecosystem. Bigots work *hard* to get our attention because if it wasn’t for the violence they constantly use, we’d forget about them. They aren’t doing anything interesting.

Her son carefully lifted his ochre-stained hand from the cave wall and studied the outline. "That's me. My hand." He looked at the other hands. "Do you know all?" "Some are older than me." "That old?" "Hush you," she laughed. "We don't make these to be seen tomorrow, but because today, we live."

glad her attorney called it out. this happens *so much*; prosecutors caring more about "sending a message" than being fair and thorough. Then if the case blows up, the victims are blamed and further maligned.
 Doe’s attorney, Thomas P. Giuffra, told CNN in a statement the police report was “not materially different” from what was contained in the complaint and criticized the district attorney’s office for not doing more at the time.

“It is challenging for me to understand how a thorough criminal investigation could have been conducted when she never spoke with anyone other than the officer who took her original complaint,” Giuffra said, adding he believed “opportunities to fully investigate these crimes were lost.
