A book review of Grayshade which reads: "The author displays a contempt for readers. Having to reread sentences and paragraphs multiple times to make sense of whether the narrative is referring to a group or singular, purely because the author is pushing an ideology, demonstrates a narcissistic superiority complex more interested in satisfying those within the echo chamber than creating a manuscript that isn't a burdensome chore to read. Being inclusive is great, but don't demand readers unravel eight instances of singular and plural in a single sentence. It's just a dime store novel, not the Iliad. The tale wasn't worth finishing."

Two Bluesky posts from Joanna Pena-Bickley, shilling for GenAI: "Foundational literacy—whether reading, numeracy, or now AI—has historically been most effective when introduced earlier, when cognitive frameworks and critical reasoning habits are forming. Waiting until higher education turns a civic competency into a privilege rather than a baseline skill." "If AI systems are shaping how information is produced, decisions are made, and opportunities are allocated, then AI literacy functions more like digital literacy or civics—not a specialization, but a prerequisite. That makes K–8 the appropriate intervention point, not a one-off college lecture."
