When navigating these times we have to be aware of the different moments, when they’re aggressive and attacking and when they’re vulnerable and desperate.

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.

Court found it was factual to call Trump’s Big Lie a “Big Lie.”
Eleventh Circuit throws out Trump's suit against CNN in a per curiam unpublished ruling. Meaning Trump's arguments were totally meritless, not even worthy of a published opinion. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

From my notes—not a transcript, which doesn't exist yet—this was the exchange between Judge Nachmanoff & AUSA Lemons about the deputy AG telling him not to reveal if there was a declination memo in the Comey case. (A memo on why prosecutors weren't bringing charges.)
