This is the most perfectly uncanny piece of AI-assisted writing I've seen--and a great tutorial on how to identify AI text. The OP is a captain! But the tell for AI isn't rhythm, wording, or fact errors. It’s that problems with *all these elements* exist equally & at once. (1/7)

Hearing lots of speculation that Farage will not be visiting Newport as planned (where their Welsh leader is standing) due to the feeling Reform are going to come second to Plaid across Wales.

Reform have repeatedly said they will be the biggest party in Wales.

I’m horrified and saddened by the death of Rob Reiner and Michele. Wonderful friend, political ally, and brilliant filmmaker (including 2 of mine). Rest in peace, Rob. You always stood by me.

[M.J. Abdelmoteleb @MotelebM]

RIP Rob Reiner. Director of some of the most beloved films of the last 40 years or so. Murdered in his own home.

#RIPRobReiner

Horrific attack in Manchester. Yom Kippur – a day that should be about reflection, atonement and prayer – has been ravaged by bloodshed and fear.

It's not that we don't have fascists, we do! But you'll never see ours trying to paint this bad boy on shops or roundabouts. Maybe the England flag needs an upgrade to something you'd at least need a GCSE in art to attempt it.

We at @amnesty are extremely concerned over the fate & wellbeing of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan hospital who was detained by Israeli forces along with others during a raid on the hospital on 27 December. He must be released immediately and unconditionally.

For months Dr. Abu Safiya has been the voice of Gaza’s decimated health sector, appealing for the protection of his hospital and working under inhumane conditions, including following the killing of his son.

The raid, the latest in a series of attacks on healthcare facilities in North Gaza over the past two months, put Kamal Adwan, the last remaining major hospital in the area, out of service.

Since the beginning of its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, Israel has detained hundreds of Palestinian healthcare workers from Gaza without charge or trial. Health workers have been subjected to torture and other ill-treatment and been held in incommunicado detention.

Israel must immediately release all Palestinians arbitrarily detained, including health workers. Hospitals and health workers are not targets. The int'l community esp Israel's allies must act to bring an end to Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza #EndGazaGenocide

I was made aware of a man who had terminal bowel cancer…

He wanted to be allowed to die

But this wasn’t an option

He ended up with a blockage that led to death via hours of faecal vomiting

His wife witnessed it all and now has PTSD

I support the assisted dying bill.

Like Putin, Erdoğan, and Orbán, Netanyahu is trying to silence a critical, independent newspaper. Haaretz will not balk and will not morph into a pamphlet that publishes messages approved by the government and its leader.
