Nobody wants this shit. Nobody.

The hostile reaction has been so pronounced, in fact, that it feels like a company announcing it would never force AI into its products would carve out a pretty good chunk of the market.
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.

BREAKING: Republican Governor of Oklahoma comes out blasting deployment of National Guard from Texas to Illinois. Calls it a violation of States' Rights. MAGA and Trump are increasingly isolated on this -- as they should be. We will not stop until this insanity ends.

Talking to folx in prison reminds me that people have been living with extreme authoritarian conditions, including censorship and denial of trans health care, prior to this moment. Let's listen when they tell us how to get through it and what they need. #solidarity truthout.org/articles/bei...
Being Trans Behind Bars in Florida Was Already Hard. Under Trump, It’s Worse.
Trans people in prison are at the front lines of the increased targeting that trans people are facing under Trump.

Yes, this is the payment of a bribe with a thin legal veil. Yes, the executives authorizing the payment may be prosecuted for public corruption crimes. Which is why Trump has dismantled the whole part of the DOJ that deals with public corruption.

It's a "settlement." WINK WINK.

Ok because I am a glutton for punishment, I need to say that I fervently wish climate people would rejoin X.

I can't say how I know this, but you must believe me that Dem policymakers still read X to see what's happening and get new ideas.

We are ceding some important ground, and it's not helping.

Do we think that Trump is insecure about the fact that RFK Jr is killing more people than the Donald?

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration.

One source, somewhat in jest, evoked the phrase “coup d’état,” later clarifying they meant a gutting of leaders who might question Trump’s policies.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
