Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

In that familiar old incompetence I haven't missed, Trump's executive order defines sex as what a person is at CONCEPTION.
Fetal sex doesn't begin to differentiate until about 7 weeks into gestation.
Which means Donald used the highest office in the land to declare all Americans legally female.

This is why I continue to side eye anyone who still engages with HP content.
She's straight up just a monster.
Read better books. Watch better movies. Play better games. Stop giving her ANY of your money.

They used to say there was no such thing as gay kids. That it was a choice that could be beaten or tortured out of them through conversion therapy

This is your reminder that thesaurus dot com is (almost certainly) using AI to generate thesaurus entries, and you should, if you can, use Merriam Webster to avoid accidentally destroying the planet via the fuckery machine.
We now live in a world where I, a novelist, can no longer keep an open tab for thesaurus dot com because they autoplay video ads. I was immersed in chapter seven when an ad somehow broke through AdBlock Plus to scream at full volume. I hate, despise, and abhor this.

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider :
are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.
*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.
*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.
maybe you're not being negative *enough*
