LAPD can continue to use military weapons, foam bullets and tear gas after City Council vote.
The LA City Council voted 8-4 to let LAPD keep using foam bullets and tear gas despite documented misuse during this summer’s anti-ICE protests and over $50M in civil rights violation payouts last year.

Not cool, Gmail.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

I joined Stephanie for the Books in the Freezer Podcast.
People often talk about whether they “like” a main character. Well, we talked about some of the worst, least likable characters you can find in some books.
We talked about assholes in fiction.
It was a lot of fun.
