I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing βreviewedβ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand peopleβs IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light
I need to rant about something this morning.
I really am getting irritated by resistance accounts that, while otherwise approaching our problem correctly, keep telling us voting won't matter and the election won't be free and fair. Not only is that not helpful, it's actually harmful...
This is very bad. Handing CNN to Bari Weiss/David Ellison is very, very bad.
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
Genuinely we are so cooked.
When I talk about more people turning out in spite of repression (or in response to it), people who've read a few articles about nonviolence say, "That's what happens! Violent efforts to repress nonviolent movements backfire!" But they often don't. It's special when people respond by showing up.
"Regardless of political leanings, people in general donβt like AI, while businesses as entities are increasingly forcing it on their workers and clients."
The people of Minnesota are heroes.
Fuentes, yesterday: βOur #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.β
honestly i canβt stand scott galloway, but i do have to give him some kudos for telling people to unsubscribe and delete accounts with a ton of US tech companies
UMass abruptly canceled bottom surgery appointments for hundreds of patients with no explanation. Some had surgery dates booked a year in advance, others were scheduled to get revisions done.

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is βi will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens unitedβ
When the CIA did this to the Senate it was one of the biggest intel scandals of the 21st century. But here itβs not just a huge scandal, itβs dumb: Pam Bondi is so bad at her job she brought the evidence herself to an open congressional hearing. www.theguardian.com/world/2014/j...
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congressβs searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.
As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the βgorgeous mosaicβ we call home.
Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our cityβs first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

Iβm glad Republicans discovered kale or whatever, but pieces like this would be a lot better if they also included more discussion of the changes and deregulation that RFK Jr. is pushing thatβs going to kill people. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
so the guy sharing gross transphobic slop with Epstein here is Robert Trivers, the scientist who invented the specious yet popular "parental investment" theory, in which sperm are cheap so men want to f*ck lots of women, but eggs are expensive so women are looking for a man with "good genes"...
The three tiered system of justice, obvious for all to see:
The poor and marginalizedβalways under an authoritarian boot
The privilegedβjudged harshly but mostly fairly in normal times
The eliteβcomplete impunity, maybe sometimes have to pick a fall guy
Full rights and citizenship actually means theyβre not a βforeign labor class.β And thatβs what heβs angry about. Heβs mad citizenship is universal rather than restricted to white people like before the civil war bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Goodβs, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. Itβs a warm 17Β° & sunny!
