The ability to just unreservedly admit your were wrong about stuff, man, you don't realize how important it is for a functional civilization until it's gone.

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.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

"Low-trust" is a funny term because most of them end up distrusting the people they should trust and extended enormous credulity to those they shouldn't
We gotta have a clear term for people so cynical they become gullible.

But like as long as Trump is making it abundantly clear that he loves hurting people and will use the shutdown as an opportunity to do so, you may as well run out the clock some more, see what turns up.

Yeah, that seems right. I think absolutely they should have held on longer -- it was a real case of interrupting an enemy who was making a mistake.
I *do* think that what a victorious endgame looked like was always somewhat unclear and kind of remains so.

If Senate Dems see this, and are still considering caving, I don’t even know what we’re doing any more. Trump continues to openly defy the courts and break the law. You can’t make a handshake deal with someone like that. It’s just not how it works.
NEW: Trump now says he will not pay food stamps in November, even though his admin told a court yesterday it would make partial payments. The benefits are once again in jeopardy, as officials are back at court, seeking to force the release of full aid.

This report convinces me that right-wing propaganda works, most notably on Dem operatives who are supposed to be shaping public opinion, not merely reacting to it.
Li'l scoop at Semafor: A new report endorsed by Biden's former campaign manager, former DCCC chair Cheri Bustos, and other centrist Dems blames the party's broken brand on post-2012 left-wing language and ideas - not just "the groups" but adopted by whole party www.semafor.com/article/10/2...
Left-wing ideas have wrecked Democrats’ brand, new report warns
The center-left group Welcome relied on polling of hundreds of thousands of voters over six months for its findings, shared first with Semafor.
