The good thing about being in a care facility during "the holidays"? No long car trips, my family are the ones who leave, not me.

Friends, this is a low hanging boycott action.
Similar to Hulu and Disney+ actions.
You can help turn the tide and it will make other platforms think twice.
The working class has much more power than they think.

Within a couple of minutes of turning off the smart features, I started getting spam emails in my primary inbox.
This is just emboldening me to close my Gmail account entirely.

It stops sorting your inbox into folders, btw, when you turn this off. As the inbox folders predate Gemini, this is a passive-aggressive attempt to make gmail a miserable experience unless you turn AI on, not a necessity.
Really, *really* inconvenient but makes me more determined to keep it off.

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've said in the past that I don't write for skimmers. If you skip past something and get confused, well Mr. Policeman, I gave you all the words.
So I'm certainly not going to write for scrapers and summarizers either 🤷♀️

Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.
As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

And, also, if you run a business that regularly purchases shipping supplies: ULINE is run by some of the worst people on Earth. Get your boxes and tape elsewhere.
Remember: don't eat the mid tier fast food chicken, don't play the wizard game, don't shop at the hobby store run by the bad guys from Indiana Jones, and don't donate to the bigot bucket.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

When the Trump era ends, I don't want to hear any "Let's all move forward together" bullshit. If his enablers don't rot in prison, then it's just permission to do this all over again. People like Mike Johnson and Pam Bondi and Greg Bovino (3 of 100s) need to be held accountable.

My #RunnerOwen series is technically a love triangle but none of the characters involved see it that way.
Prince Aurum wants Owen.
The Scarred Man wants Aurum AND Owen.
Owen thinks they're both assholes and unworthy of his love, no matter what his heart says.
