The grammar checker is good at catching most errors. It did suggest that "An unfortunate" should replace "A very sad". But that's a style choice.
But who writes 62-word run-on sentences on a social media platform without grammatical errors? It gives the impression of premeditation, not off-the-cuff.
Gemini says that there's no explicit evidence of AI being used in the past two weeks of Trump's Truth Social postings.
"Based on an analysis of Donald Trump's Truth Social timeline from December 2, 2025, to December 16, 2025, there is no evidence that the text of his posts is AI-generated. Conversely, the text exhibits strong markers of his established human writing style."
"A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!"
The only error my grammar checker found was using "of" instead of "with." I would expect more grammatical errors unless whoever the writer is is using a grammar checker.
Who says corporate America doesn’t have at least some sense of humor left?
Ryan Reynolds makes humorous, self-deprecating Mint Mobile commercials. In 2020 and 2024, he was the world's second-highest-paid actor. Now that he's an entrepreneur, he's also a billionaire.
The most recurring dream is of me looking for a toilet but only finding ones that for one reason or other can’t be used (clogged, full of water, built in a way one cannot sit upon them, extremly dirty etc.).
I've had similar dreams, intermingled with the military stuff. Such as trying to find restrooms and functional toilets in a barrack.
I don't remember ever having a nightmare. But I've had anxiety dreams. First, about school, then the military, and work. In recent years, I've had very few of any of them.
I had a friend who, even as a young adult, would sometimes act out his dreams. Once, he tried to stuff his wife behind the headboard of the bed. A few years ago, in the late stages of Parkinson’s, he died after a fall.
In 1971-72, I was on the southwest coast of Iceland. There were gale-force winds several times. But everything that could blow away had already blown away. We'd get snowstorms immediately followed by rainstorms. Once the temperature got to a record high of 59°F.

The rock/bushes/edging is very much typical of the Front Range Colorado urban corridor; was the AI guessing, or did it have some location information?
It does use general and specific information from outside the images it processes. And it just flat-out guesses a lot.
I gave it a Monet painting to interpret. The result was startling. I thought there was no possible way it could create the result just from the image of the painting I gave it.

Here's a sympathetic Karen Bass interview. At least, I'm more sympathetic to her than I was before watching the interview.
"Matt Welch visits Getty House for a one-on-one with Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass on the fires, ICE, Trump/Mamdani, Angela Davis/Cuba, and a whole lotta disagreement about the relationship between property rights & building new stuff."
