Hey, CNN. You wrote 'involving' when I think you meant to write 'by'.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

OK [breathes in], we're finalising our author contract and putting in a clause about AI use. We want to say "none" but recognise that there's a difference between assistive AI and generative AI. What do people think? Any suggested phrasing? What about internet search? Grammarly? Thoughts?

The woman shouting "shame!" was the wife of Renee Nicole Good who had just watched her being murdered by an ICE agent. That reaction was remarkably mild.
Trump on Renee Good: "When she was shot, there was another woman that was screaming 'Shame. Shame Shame Shame.' So loud. Like a professional opera singer. She was so loud. And so professional. She wasn't a woman that was hurt like, 'Oh my heart is injured.' She was a professional."

Thank you for your attention to this, fatter.
Trump: "A friend of mine who's a very smart guy, very very rich, very powerful man actually. But he's very fat. And he took the fat drug. I won't give you which one. It was Ozempic ... the drug doesn't work on him. I saw him recently. He's actually fatter than ever."
