Grammarly Is Offering ‘Expert’ AI Reviews From Your Favorite Authors—Dead or Alive The tool, offered by the recently-rebranded company Superhuman, gives feedback based on the work of famous dead and living writers—without their permission.

Grammarly's new "Expert Review" tool uses AI to simulate feedback from famous authors and academics, including those who died decades ago. “These are not expert reviews, because there are no ‘experts’ involved in producing them,” says historian @ceaubin.com. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

Agree completely, Jacob, that the Europe issue is coming despite Labour's best efforts.

The first problem is that this u-turn will be hard for Labour and a lot of cultural Europeans will see this as too little to late.

The rationale for striking Iran was already a mess. Trump just made it worse. The Trump administration’s stated justifications for going to war with Iran were already a jumbled and self-contradictory mess before the president’s latest comments Tuesday.

Trump rebukes Starmer again for not letting US attack Iran from UK bases US president criticises prime minister for third time 24 hours, describing him as ‘not Churchill’ over initial refusal

This reflects well on Starmer/UK, and badly on Trump.

Starmer is following principles and is not going along with a war of agression.

Trump sounds mad.

Proper nuts. But more than anything he sounds REALLY rattled as he rants and raves about Britain.

If Starmer sticks to his guns I suspect this will all play in his favour.

🚨 Rachel Reeves rightly points out the damage Brexit has done to our economy:

"Brexit cut us off from our closest trading partners."

🚨🚨 This is a symbolically good recognition by Labour of the damage #brexit has done to the UK economy and society. Nonetheless, these statements need to be backed up by more ambitious plans on how to restore the relationship with the EU. /1

Mediales Versagen auf ganzer Linie. Einen rechtsextremen Publizisten interviewen mit der Untertitelung "Ist er zu gefährlich für ein Zeitungsinterview?"

Die Frage muss rhetorisch gemeint sein, mit dem Ziel, Rechtsextreme weiter zu normalisieren, anders kann man sich diesen Blödsinn nicht erklären.

35 años del fin de la URSS: la causa perdida de los “tres misioneros eslavos” | Tribuna La guerra de Ucrania es una de las catástrofes que las tres repúblicas eslavas de la Unión Soviética pretendían evitar cuando sellaron en 1991 el final de su existencia

Tribuna | "El año 1991 marcó un antes y un después, un divorcio civilizado, que inicialmente se presentó como una decisión racional consensuada entre tres dirigentes eslavos, unidos por la voluntad de evitar procesos convulsos y descontrolados", por Pilar Bonet

I got more graphic novels at the library yesterday. After ten days of reading a memoir, my first thought was 'I miss pictures' so gotta slow dose the reading books without pictures for a bit I guess? I got some fiction books that don't have pictures too, but yeah. I needed the artsy inspo.

This is a win for veterans everywhere. The fact that this was proposed in the first place was an insult to every person who has ever put on the uniform.

We will continue to hold this administration accountable to make sure our promises to those who served are kept, period.
