Seems like that Gmail thing isn't true but maybe there's a lesson here about what happens when you keep turning new features on by default and you make it difficult or impossible to turn them off, and also what happens when you lump useful machine learning in with forced slop under the "AI" label

Billy Bragg taking a stand for common sense and basic human decency. Be like Billy.
Billy making the point that angry men think nothing of harassing women in the name of *checks notes* women's rights.

The people in Arizona’s 7th congressional district have been without representation in Congress for over 7 months.
Mike Johnson continues to deny them representation because their duly elected representative has pledged to sign the petition to release the Epstein files.

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter.
It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote.
And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

I hosted a podcast using a pseudonym for a couple years to avoid violating the Hatch Act. I got fired anyhow.
One time, I interviewed the Secretary of Agriculture. I worked for about a week to make sure that I didn’t ask a question that would violate the Hatch Act.
Meanwhile, these MFers exist…

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement.
In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

There are lots of good dramas on streaming TV. We really do live in a golden age. But TASK (HBO) has one thing many of the others lack: Soul.
