Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?

I feel like this panic over Google scraping your gmail messages to train their AI is unfounded click-bait. I can't find anyplace that says they use your private data to train AI. Google says AI in Gmail is a paid service and they don't use your data.
Snip of Google's information regarding their paid AI plans with section highlighted that shows Gemini (their AI product) in Gmail as a paid product. Snip of Google's information about their paid AI product with a highlight around the section that states the product does not use a user's content to train or improve Gemini or other AI models.

"Image created by OpenAI." You don't say.
Image of a chart showing exponential growth in AI agent capabilities, where "capabilities" is misspelled as "caaabblilies" and the y-axis has values 10, 10, 20, 60, 40, 70, 60, 80 while the x-axis has years 2020, 2024, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2020, 2025, 2020, 2020.

Boy is my face red.
Meme of Anaking and Padme where in the first square Anakin says "we needed to stock up on guns to prepare for a tyrannical govt." Padme then says "to fight against it, right?" Anakin just looks at her in the third square, then in the fourth she replies "oh damn."

I’m an idiot. Picked up Planters peanuts on sale without checking the label. There’s fucking GELATIN in their dry roasted peanuts? And preservatives? The worst.

Looks like I'm not the only web developer who has z-index issues. (The menu should open over the card image, I believe.)

Murkowski's self-serving deal on the Big Butthead Bill gets thrown back in her face.
www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
Two provisions added to the bill just days ago, and tailored specifically to boost Medicaid payments to Alaska and Hawaii, have been ruled to violate the Senate's Byrd rule. That limits what can pass through the reconciliation process with a simple majority.
