Execution is not justice, even for the gravest crimes.
No one should minimise the suffering caused at Fort Hood, and survivors, bereaved families, and the whole of society need to see justice done. But execution is not justice.

What LLMs are doing to writing is so annoying. Just going through proofs of my next book and have removed two sentences which admittedly are not the best but I have mainly removed them because expressing a dichotomy in our post-LLM world looks like it was written by AI!

Humanist couples deserve the exact same right as religious couples: a legal wedding that truly reflects their core values, led by someone who shares them.

LLMs are spoiling human writing, because ordinary constructions now look AI-written.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
