Well, it was a fun season while it lasted.
An attack on Iraq’s Basra port killed at least one person and caused authorities to halt operations at all the country’s oil terminals, officials said Thursday.
An Iran-linked hacker group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack of a medical tech company, Stryker, in what appears to be the first significant instance of Iran hacking an American company since the start of the war.

Multiple US and state law enforcement and intel officials told @cbsnews.com there is no credible intelligence underpinning the bulletin distributed on the unverified possibility that Iran could retaliate for American attacks by launching drones at the West Coast. "This is not actionable," one said.
Indeed, but I mean even more specifically the sentence they picked. I'm sure there are far more dense passages in The Great Gatsby than that!
What are we doing here, man? This was the impenetrable prose they're using as the example?

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

It constantly wants to change the wording of everything. Sometimes, the changes streamline a sentence. Sometimes, they completely change the meaning and ruin it. Often, they just basically suggest synonyms for no good reason and pretend that makes the writing better.
Frankly, Grammarly has only gotten worse the more it's tried to implement "AI" features. It's getting close to the point of being more annoying than helpful in its main product. And pulling stunts like this surely doesn't help!

When a judge orders a journalist not to publish a story, it's recognized as a prior restraint.
But when the government raids a journalist's home and seizes their materials, like it did with @hannahnatanson.bsky.social, that’s seen as something different. It’s not.
