You've only got one Mum... yeah, so imagine what it takes to cut them out.
It's never a decision that is made flippantly. And never until almost all hope is lost.
What about your kids never knowing their grandparents. Yes, Karen, that's the big motivation for estrangement.

Just a quiet, sad little PSA.
If someone is estranged from their parents, please please don’t give them the ‘but they’re your mum/ dad’
They were their mum / dad when they did the worst imaginable things to their own kids.
It’s not up to the children to make it ok. It’s up to them to live well.

If you must use AI, this is an important thing to do. Use a subject you know well to see what convincing insanity it can come up with.
Also I check to see what it hallucinates about me and/or my work, because that's a useful way to gauge how little to trust it on subjects where my domain knowledge is less complete than it is about, well, me.

I'm pretty sure he would not have smashed the phone if she was cis-gender. Which IMO makes it a hate crime.
Also, remember, you only need to be perceived as having that attribute for it to be a hate crime. Bathroom police are transphobic even when they "accidentally" target the wrong people.

This one's for you @mrjamesob.bsky.social Machine learning is really useful. LLMs on the other hand are just Clippys more sneaky brother.
Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Proteus Vex is the kind of story that makes me read 2000AD. I didn't like it at first, and I found it a little difficult to get into the universe properly.
Stuck with it because 2000AD never has bad stories- just things that are not for me. Then it just clicked and it's fantastic.
