How to Disable AI Features in Firefox Browser Are you looking for clean user experience in your Firefox browser? Here's how you can disable AI features in Firefox for a simple, no-nonsense usage.

So, I'm really kind of fucking annoyed and disappointed with Mozilla enabling AI in Firefox by default and not giving users a simple opt out switch.

I have disabled it in my firefox via 'about:config' , if you want to too, here's how to disable it completely or enable certain bits you find useful

Just saw this today. This is a transparent attempt to KILL DUE PROCESS by lying about the job of immigration judge and stacking the deck through hiring only bloodthirsty lawyers who want to deport people.

This comes after they pushed out over 100 judges deemed too likely to grant relief.

WTF. This is so dangerous. Please stop calling for the killing of your political opponents. Some of us have already had our colleagues assassinated by far right extremists. Some of us were on his list. Stop. Just stop.

TIL the Times once recommended you serve vegetarians 1 giant beet for Thanksgiving.

A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.

Waymo killed KitKat. California neighborhood mourns a corner-store cat One mourner called KitKat 'the best city bodega cat anyone could ever ask for. His lil pet requests meant a lot for some of us.'

and that's nothing to say about non-human impacts www.latimes.com/california/s...

all I can think about is how it's already hard to be seen on foot or in bike lanes like the ones on Hennepin

Shoulder of a federal agent featuring a black and gold patch with an ancient viking image, crossed axes, and "Minnesota SRT DEA"

I tool this at Bro-tex this morning. From a PiPress article about ICE on Lake St in June '25 "The Southern Poverty Law Center says there are Neo-Völkisch groups that “rely on a romanticized Viking aesthetic and mythos — imagery they use to perpetuate their belief in white racial superiority."

SPONSORED MN RISING Saint Paul firm empowers Minnesota nonprofits to find their voices and tell their stories Goff Public helps organizations innovate to continue serving communities Provided by Goff Public OCTOBER 13, 2025 AT 4:52PM

The StarTribune is now just selling stories under its masthead and branding to lobbying firms. Goff Public led the effort to privatize prisons.

And if there was ever a time to question Minnesota‘s love of nonprofits, its right now. More than a $1 billion disapeared through nonprofit fraud.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I just filed with the Campaign Finance Board to run in the special election to represent 64A in the MN House! Conversations with neighbors convinced me that I can bring the bold, progressive leadership this district deserves to meet this moment. I’m excited to get to work: bethfraserfor64a.com

Quote from story: “A lot of voters who ranked Frey as their first choice mentioned that he was the most moderate candidate and their top priority was public safety. Some have been shaken by bubbling neighborhood crime, including car windows being smashed. They were choosing experience and stability.“

I am never not gonna be mad about the Minneapolis public not connecting Frey to complete control of MPD operations for the past 8 years. www.startribune.com/election-day...

The time is NOW to get involved in your local DFL unit. If you want to see change in the DFL, change will only happen from within, not by complaining on social media. At a more basic level, we simply need more volunteers, to run caucuses and conventions, and to win elections.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Is the war in Iran Biden's Katrina?

Once more with feeling

Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

Read the Federal Complaint Against Man Charged in Minnesota Assassination (Gift Article) Federal officials described new details about the actions of a man accused in assassination of a Minnesota lawmaker, along with federal charges against him.

We've updated our story on the alleged Minnesota shooter to include details from anti-abortion and anti-trans sermons he gave in 2023.

10:30am: "Brevard County Sheriff Sheriff Wayne Ivey: "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead." 10:49am: law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Jesus.

The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

Yesterday, the U of Minnesota deleted the American Indian Studies’ statement on Palestine. (Also deleted was a story about Leonard Peltier’s return home and five other dept statements on Palestine.) Our expertise matters if we don’t oppose genocide. web.archive.org/web/20250322...

Peter Goldsmith • 1st Professor, University of Illinois at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 3h • G Today is a dark day when once there were so many winners. SIL, the Soybean Innovation Lab, will shutter its doors as of 4/15/25 as all USAID funding has ceased. Today I had to let go of a staff of 30. These individuals are not only unique experts in the field of tropical soybean, but also close colleagues and friends who are now unexpectedly out of work. The land grant system now loses 19 crown jewel Innovation Labs, across 17 states, that delivered high and measurable impact on very little investment. U.S. soybean farmers lose one of their best tools to expand their markets and U.S. standards globally. Local economies in emerging markets lose soybean as an incomparable engine growing wealth, prosperity, and economic development. International security is a loser, as local populations now fall back into poverty, unrest, and migration, due to greater food insecurity. U.S. influence loses as Innovation Labs operate on the ground in direct collaboration with hundreds of local businesses, organizations, and governments building strong and lasting friendships. Today we all lose. It is a shame. Innovation Labs like SIL are an investment for good on so many levels. You and 53 others 17 comments

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

Holy shit

Thank you to the entire United States Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry for their 23-0 support of my nomination to be the next U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. I’m grateful for Chairman @JohnBoozman and Ranking Member @amyklobuchar ’s leadership in advancing my nomination, and I’m eager for full Senate consideration. None of this would be possible without President Trump’s confidence in me and his unwavering commitment to America’s farmers and agricultural communities. Thank you, Mr. President! If confirmed, I’m ready to get to work immediately to protect and defend America’s farmers and ranchers and can think of no greater honor. God Bless America!!

This evening, every Democrat on the Senate Agriculture Committee backed the nomination of MAGA wingnut climate denier Brooke Rollins for Secretary of Agriculture, who admitted to a lack of basic knowledge of the department's workings. Every. Single. One.
