Hippy Birdday to my sweet babboo Martha Wells! May your sec unit continue hacking into security systems.

So Grammarly is now raiding your work to train their AI. The answer, of course is 1. pay attention in high school English, and 2. always have a copy of Hodge's Harbrace College Handbook handy. It worked for me all during college. Still have my copy from 1975.

We found the Twitter bird. It escaped Musk’s attempt to feed it to his python. We’re keeping it safe until his forever home.
