Oh please let Grammarly get sued into oblivion

[jv]

How the hell they greenlighted that. How there is no one there with a minimum of common sense to shout that this was going to be the outcome. How their legal department didn't murder every single engineer to prevent this from shipping

[knitmeapony]

"We take criticism seriously" obviously you do not.

[northstarfan]

Too late for a "whoopsie, our bad", fuckers.

Superhuman, the tech company behind the writing software Grammarly, is facing a class action lawsuit over an AI tool that presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—none of whom consented to have their names appear within the product.

Julia Angwin, an award-winning investigative journalist who founded The Markup, a nonprofit news organization that covers the impact of technology on society, is the only named plaintiff in the suit, which does not call for a specific amount in damages but argues that damages across the plaintiff class are in excess of $5 million. She was among the many individuals, alongside Stephen King and Neil deGrasse Tyson, offered up via Grammarly’s “Expert Review” tool as a kind of virtual editor for users.

Imagine being a product manager in grammarly and going like "fuck yeah, we are going to add a a Stephen King agent to our product" without immediately having a little part of your brain that goes "uh the dude probably has enough money to buy our entire company three times over, and he could field an army of lawyers against us for using his name without his permission".

Imagine being so full of yourself that you think you can just use the literal most successful author alive's name without his consent.

Holy fuck.

One thing about these AI tech bro ceos, they have no concept of shutting the fuck up. It is almost impressive.

READ THIS INTERVIEW! I'm not sure I've ever read a more vicious interview, the journalist does not let up, does not let him get away with nonanswers unchallenged. God how I wish more journalists acted like this in interviews.

Grammarly is being bluntly and forcefully removed from united states .gov computers, starting IMMEDIATELY (26 mar 26).

[makingqueerhistory]

In 2025 Google Removed Pride Month From Their Calendar.

In response we shared a pay-what-you-can Google calendar integration full of queer history.

443 people added queer history to their calendar.

So we did it again for 2026...

[rowles6]

Get off of google calender get off of google docs get off of microsoft office etc

Corperations cannot be trusted and care for no one.

[makingqueerhistory]

I understand this sentiment entirely! I am right now working to get myself off Google Docs, and removing Google from my life as much as I can. I will say, that this rhetoric makes me think of the book drive I am running.

In my province, books are being banned in school libraries and there are two important responses to the situation. First we need people fighting to keep queer books in school libraries, because many children have no access to queer books outside of their school library. Second we need to start preserving queer literature in safe places. If we focus too much on only keeping queer books in school libraries, we run the risk of losing access to these books as a whole community in the event the government doesn't listen to our protests. If we focus too much on only preserving the books, then they will be available only to a specific sect of the community.

All of this to say, we need to leave Google behind where we can. But some of us have jobs that utilize Google in varying ways that we can't opt out of, or can't leave Google right yet for accessibility reasons. Google has specifically made it so it is hard to not use their services, so we need to have multiple responses. I think there is value in disentangling from Google, but I also think there is value in purposefully and aggressively maintaining queer history within the platform of Google.

So to summarize:

what if I just made my profile picture a male calico cat or something. hurm

[icewingassasin]

Could I suggest a picture of Dawntreader Texas Calboy? He is a beautiful male calico cat who is a chimera. He's also somewhat controversial among some cat fancy associations since he is a male cat with female colors, and some people are strangely transphobic towards him, despite him being a cat? There was even a rule implemented to keep him from competing in a cat show. If you look up his name, he made a few news articles.

[yourfaveisintersex]

Oh my god?????

Yeah you're right about beautiful I'm squeezing him until he pops!!!!! I love this guy I think I'm going to make an edit real quickly Calboy I love you I'm so sorry people are calling you a freak??????

[so-i-did-this-thing]

Do you have any good recommendations for finding waistcoats/vests that are decent quality? After top surgery I had to get rid of my old women's ones and figured you might have recs!

Heya!

Waistcoats have been tricky for me because I want them fairly tight (my only tight-fitting garment for my style), but also suitably short for my style. Not enough vendors, even new vintage ones, make them short enough (just barely going past the waistband on high-waisted trousers).

That said, a few I have liked (as someone with a 1940s British Country aesthetic + some French workwear influence):

Darcy's corduroy

Probably my best fitting waistcoat from a new vintage vendor. I also like the greater number of buttons.

Thomas Farthing's waistcoats are frequently too long/loose, but they are also the only new vintage menswear vendor I know of that goes as small as a 32R, handy for a lot of trans guys.

For a French workwear style, I like Piece of Chic. They also have canvas and corduroy.

Revival vintage has nice knitted waistcoats (I have not tried their other ones).

If you're looking for a simple, true vintage brand, Dunn & Co. crops up frequently and you may find on gem.app. This red wool is my favorite, but I also have found in olive and fawn.

Hope that helps!
