My dudes, turn this shit off. On iOS it's under Settings > Apps > Photos > scroll all the way down.
Apple has opted iOS and MacOS users into an AI photo scanning feature which tries to extract landmarks from your photos called Enhanced Visual Search by default with little notice.

Apple opts everyone into having their Photos analyzed by AI
Homomorphic-based Enhanced Visual Search is so privacy-preserving, iPhone giant activated it without asking

Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie because of the setting. It's a Christmas movie because it has The Christmas Plot:
A man who is neglecting his family to focus on work learns What Really Matters through an improbable crisis around the holidays and rededicates himself to his wife and kids

Realize you don’t need to read all of all of the books. You need arguments; where they fit in historiography; how they relate to ea other. Condense thoughts on ea book to 1-2 pgs for later review
Think about YOUR view of topics/fields/periods based on your reading. What’s your take?

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

Anyway....one of the reasons I said what I did is because a lot of people didn't have a great year. And honestly, I'm sympathetic to that. Life is tough. Wins are great but not everyone gets them.

Please arm yourself with knowledge. Birthright citizenship is not a policy choice it is a constitutional imperative (14th Amendment). It can no more be signed away by Executive Order than the First Amendment.
Now that attacking birthright citizenship has become a Day 1 project for the incoming Trump admin, I dug out this rather comprehensive piece I wrote in 2011. It includes the source of Sen. Lindsay Graham’s emergence as the pitch man on this issue. politicalresearch.org/2011/03/01/c...
The Conservative Attack on Birthright Citizenship
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Would watch so fast
The fact we don’t have a dozen dramas about the Reconstruction period is absolutely baffling.Reading about it is just stunning.The high drama politics-violence-pettiness! If I won the lottery I’d hire Shonda Rhimes to do a show called The Black Victorians so fast.You’d be glued to your seat.

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them
