Friends don’t let friends use this privacy violating nightmare. Just say no! Not even once!
ChatGPT’s new Atlas browser doesn’t just see what you read — it remembers it.
@eff.org’s Lena Cohen showed me it even logged “memories” of her looking for *abortion care* and her doctor’s name. Out-surveils even Chrome.

Friends in project management, how’s the field looking these days? I’m hearing of cuts at nearby districts & I’ve heard teachers make great project managers. Trying to look out for friends.
Are there jobs? What’s reasonable $$ for a career jump? All in office or remote? Share any insights please.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.
Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.
Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?
It's literally called Library Extension.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.
