Is your #book already "memorised"? So it's called when companies like #OpenAI make the worst you can do: counterfeit words and illustrations of real human #authors.
Penguin Random House made a test and now sues OpenAI: "Coming from one of the largest publishing houses in the world, the #lawsuit against OpenAI could set a precedent for other publishers."

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to every American who is protesting the fascist Trump regime at the massive #NoKings rallies today.

As a European, it means everything to see that the free people is still breathing in the land of the free.

Hang in there, because fall is coming which means his fall is coming too.

I'm disgusted by the Olympic committee ruling.

Not because I don't think hormones matter.

Not because I don't think chromosomes can matter.

But because there's is not a fucking sports event in the world that is worth the erasure of a person's personhood.

Fuck those people and PE angst.
