I used to be a freelance academic editor specializing in clients whose first language isn't English. All of them now rely on AI to correct their English and make it more idiomatic. My thirty years' experience is toast, and trust me, my work was a hell of a lot better than AI's.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.

To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.

And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

Really, my friends, the responsibilities are great and very difficult for me. I was just a student, and now I bear the responsibility of saving my family. Your support makes me stronger. Your support is everything to me.

Investigation in Progress On the morning of January 29, 1998, I was getting ready for work when I heard an explosion.

This case has become political but we can’t lose sight of law enforcement concerns & the importance of public safety. The question is whether traditional values of DOJ will stay in play or whether this case will be about politics, not about protecting the public. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Sign the Petition Not in our name: Women in support of the trans+ community

The Starmer government wants to impose a toilet ban that will result in trans people being assaulted, r*ped and quite possibly murdered.

A group of cis women who oppose him using them as a justification for doing this have set up a petition β€œNot In Our Name”

Please sign and share…

It's worth noting that this excellent piece was written by an intern and published in a nonprofit news source. Very impressive!

Trump administration withholds more than $100 million from Mass. schools - The Boston Globe The state’s $108 million is part of more than $6 billion in funds the Trump administration is withholding from states across the country for education programs, including summer and after school servi...

The Trump Administration's decision to withhold over $100 million in education funding for MA is further proof that they don't care about our children, families or schools. If the Trump Administration doesn't act immediately to fulfill their legal obligations to our schools, we'll see them in court.

Translation is an art.

If you've ever compared translations, you'd know this. Anyone in publishing should know this.

No one should support these publishers.

Instead of blaming children for their own deaths at the hands of a natural disaster, you could put that energy towards supporting a voting rights organization given that too many people in the south definitely do not have the power you seem to think they do
