Something to remember is that Gmail has always read your emails for the purposes of ad targeting. It's been part of the service from the very beginning and was always the reason it's free. But turning off the extra AI features is still a good thing to do if we're going to use the service at all.
Found out today that Gmail quietly added a thing where AI scraps all your emails, including attachments.
Disabling it is easy but, of course, buried. Here's how:

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.
Safe bike-lanes mean business.

My art is like a plant. Why do I keep wanting it to buy me things?
My Art Won’t Buy Me a Car
In the drawing, my show was a delicate rare plant kept in a glass box that I was doing my best to protect and grow. It reminded me of how delicate a work of art can be and how much effort we have to make to protect its fragility. Simultaneously, many of us weigh down our works with our hopes and dreams that this one will be the one that changes everything.

The HONY exhibit left me feeling troubled. Here, I try and figure out why.
A Blurry Line Between Art and Advertising
To get to the exhibit, I took the shuttle from Times Square and was about to walk up the stairs to Grand Central Station when I noticed two people taking photos of the stairs. It suddenly dawned on me that the image on the stairs was not an advertisement but part of the exhibition I was on my way to see.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Anthony DiLorenzo: PIX-11 was tipped about ICE raid. NYers react:
"People just stopped in their tracks. People were going to school. People were coming home from work or just commuting. And stopped to scream at these ICE agents. Pulled out their phones started recording and telling them to leave."

That podcast I listened to about funding for podcasts gave me some podcast food for thought. Who thinks they're the little guys?
Money and the Little Guys in Podcasting
Usually, I skip the ads on a podcast but I think I had my hands full so I couldn’t hit the advance button on this one episode. I figured the ads would be over in a minute or two. But they just kept going. “Jesus!” I exclaimed, “How much money do you guys need?!” Not long after, they uploaded a crossover episode in which they tried to solve the problem of how to ask for money.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.
When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.
