It's OK to write something terrible
When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”
Are you an AP creator who was selected for the Baltimore New Media Web Fest and have received NO COMMUNICATION about the nominations despite the fact the ceremony is an hour away?
I suggest you report them on Film Freeway for fraudulent behavior.

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

My old high school choir teacher passed away recently. He was so influential in my life, and the lives of all his students. He's a big part of why I became a voice actor.
If you can, please support his family during this heartbreaking loss. Every bit help. gofund.me/dde2bde52

Alternatively: how it feels trying to pick up friends at LAX
A helicopter hovering low over the “front porch” raft to pick up an astronaut. The propeller is making huge circular waves radiating out from the raft
An astronaut and a crew recovery person dangling over the ocean from the helicopter hoist
There are certainly good reasons for every step in the crew recovery process but at this point it feels like they’re just putting the astronauts through as many of the most dramatic methods of transportation they can think of in one day

Safer. Faster. More comfortable. TOTALLY BADASS!

NASA failed to predict the real splashdown risk.
Bro I cannot believe you made an account just to reply. I'm in awe
Those four #Artemis astronauts went from weightlessness to a 3+G re-entry to splashdown and now they’ve been at 1G bobbing in the ocean for half an hour while they wait to get pulled out of their little tin can. I do not envy how their stomachs must be feeling right now. 😬
The have balloons on the capsule to celebrate the safe landing :)
i don't understand why they landed integrity in the middle of the ocean. if i were them i would just land it at my house
whenever people announce they're taking a break from bluesky, it's usually because they're astronauts experiencing a mandatory communications blackout as they re-enter earth's atmosphere. that's why they always come back in six minutes
The capsule splashing down onto the water with the three red and white parachutes above it
Splashdown! Vehicle is stable and upright. “A perfect bulls-eye splash for Integrity and its four astronauts!” #Artemis
I'm moonscrolling
the Artemis mission is what I believe in and want to see more of in the world. smart, kind experts working together for knowledge and discovery.

The #Artemis II livestream continues to be the best thing on the internet. 😍
The return-to-Earth live coverage begins at 6:30pm Eastern (in about 90 minutes) with splashdown in the Pacific scheduled for 8:07pm Eastern.
