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.

Once a simple proofreading tool, Grammarly is now bristling with AI features and a suite of "expert" agents based on the works of real authors. But the company doesn't ask permission and in some cases offers feedback from virtual versions of dead writers—including one historian who died in January.

Does regime change ever work? History tells us long-term consequences are often disastrous Regime change has long proved tempting to large states. But it rarely goes to plan.

Should it be done? No. But can it be done? Also no. theconversation.com/does-regime-...

Other than Trump himself, Albanese is the most prolific cheerleader for this illegal war. It’s what he is devoting this 7:30 interview to doing. Totally bizarre to throw yourself on the altar of Trump and Israel.

X is absolutely cooking the brains of the entire political class that remains on there. The ones who think they're immune are probably the most affected.

Queensland police refused to discipline officer accused of domestic violence against pregnant partner Police decided there was ‘no tangible benefit’ to conducting disciplinary action against the officer and opted not to investigate

Pepper spray and threat of 'sonic weapons' at protests alarm rights groups Alarmed by a spike in pepper spray use and threats of sound cannons at protests, human rights groups want a review of "less lethal" weapons for crowd control.

I asked Penny Wong today how hosting President Herzog in Australia when UN experts have found he incited genocide, when he has signed bombs used on Gaza, and right now Israel is stealing more Palestinian land, how could that ever be about peace?

Get your latest textbook chapter on this Commonwealth's greatest state, South Australia, right here. Required reading for all politics units, surely.

Assistant police commissioner Peter McKenna: "It was really quite precarious at times for our officers who were significantly outnumbered by the protesters and the people who wanted to act in a violent and offensive manner."

I very genuinely do not think that Australia's media industry can be classified as any other than fully supportive of police violence, because you have to actively, consciously and knowingly work to frame what happened as general "violence mars protests" rather than "police violently attack protest"

Allegations of police throwing punches Labor backbencher Anthony D’Adam says he saw police punching people and throwing someone to the ground, as tensions heated up at the Sydney protest. He said initially police were “getting good cooperation from the crowd”, but then an officer pushed his bike into a woman and “clearly hurt her”. When she got angry, another officer pushed her into the crowd and other bystanders, who fell over, were shocked and angry, and started yelling. He said: "That then resulted in a number of other officers joining the fray. They grabbed someone and threw them onto the ground, and then they were just throwing punch after punch at this person. It just seemed totally over the top in terms of the police reaction." D’Adam went on to say that it was because the police didn’t have enough “scope” to manage the crowd and disperse people, and said if the government had allowed the protesters to march up George Street it wouldn’t have happened.

As always - remember this is what they do when they know they are being filmed.

just absolutely unhinged and delusional, as is the rest of this report card that is one of the most significant restrictions on academic freedom and student expression we've ever had in Australian higher ed

nice to know that the assessment will be undertaken by such a reasonable, fair-minded person with absolutely no prior agenda

Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases

In case anyone forgot, this administration had already prohibited public funding of mRNA vaccine research. Moderna was one of the single biggest private funders of mRNA vaccine research. This will set us back decades.

Just remember that right now the Albanese Govt is spending billions to the fund the USA military.

We’ve placed the available videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis today into the same synchronised timeline and are continuing to analyse further.

Utterly extraordinary. Trump is clearly very serious about using every tool at his disposal to help his far-right allies abroad. This would ordinarily surely be grounds for revoking the culprits' diplomatic credentials.

Really valuable tips here for those wanting to avoid US tech dominance!

Fair call, really

SA ecologist resigns from algal bloom panels, citing government's 'adversarial' approach South Australian ecologist Dr Faith Coleman has resigned from two state government algal bloom panels and criticised the state government's approach.

Between the poor handling of the algal bloom, the Writers Week festival, horrendous urban planning, ongoing health system problems, and anti protest laws, a competent opposition would have the election a tight contest
