My new strategy to get myself to write is to do it on the back of receipts. This way I don't get too precious about it because it's already trash

I'm reading Shadow and Claw very slowly. I keep putting it down thinking I've read like 30 pages, but then it's actually 6

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 know I'm in the minority here, but I hate fishing in video games. It's somehow almost more boring than fishing in real life

Follow a few english people and soon you too will hate labour
do not give labour a single vote under any circumstances
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs

This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I tried watching Skinamarink, but it was too scary and/or boring for me to finish. Might try again tonight
