A thousand disabled folks asked for higher fees? That’s the lie you’re going with?? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

In a statement, an Uber spokesperson said the decision to increase the fee was made following consultation with more than 1,000 people with disability and their carers, as well as accessibility experts and Assist users.

That’s an incredibly long bow from the agency

The agency applied a “compensation reduction amount”, a complex method used to prevent double-dipping by participants who receive court payouts that cover support services or equipment previously funded via the NDIS.

When the fuck was a diagnosis enough to get NDIS support? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Butler said access to the NDIS would be based on a person’s “functional capacity”, not simply a diagnosis of a disability, which he described as a flaw in the system.

“Souvenired” is an interesting way to describe the desecration of a corpse

Both, the federal court heard in the defamation case, were killed – one under Roberts-Smith’s direction, the other by Roberts-Smith himself, throwing the disabled man to the ground and machine-gunning him to death.

The man’s leg was souvenired by another soldier. It became a ghoulish trophy of war back at the SAS’s on-base bar, the Fat Ladies’ Arms, where Australian soldiers were photographed drinking beer from it.

That’s dialogue. Written with the character’s syntax. Come on.

Maybe you also noticed that human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy’s “Blood Meridian,” caused by the author’s aversion to punctuation: “As well ask men what they think of stone.”
A.I. used to make mistakes like these. But today’s systems are much more fluid than their predecessors — so fluid, in fact, that finding grammatical errors or nonstandard syntax is often a hint that you’re looking at a human’s prose, not a machine’s.
