If you use Gmail, you need to be aware of this new feature that allows it to use your emails to train AI, but there is a way to opt out.

Jmail, logged in as jeevacation@gmail.com You are logged into jeevacation@gmail.com, Jeffrey Epstein's email. Sourced from the November 2025 House Oversight Committee data release.

This is amazing. A Gmail-like interface for searching the Epstein emails released by Congress.

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.

Zohran played him perfectly but that doesnโ€™t mean Trump is good now. Heโ€™ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

I will note that, prior to the news breaking that poetry is a highly efficient attack vector against LLMs, it was already known that Magic: The Gathering is Turing-Complete.

I'm just glad I got the line "they're tunneling TCP/IP over AD&D!" into a novel back in 2007!

Hey @cocacolagb.bsky.social we found your plastic here: a #SingleUsePlastic item of #Dasani Drinking Water in #Congo(DRC).

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not.

Literally every time I've needed customer service help and it's a company that starts you off with a chatbot, I end up needing a human being. Every time.

Like, if it was a simple enough problem your water-guzzling, mass-polluting, trash wannabe tamagotchi could fix, I would've just done it myself ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

The Daily Mail attacking the BBC on the grounds of editorial standards is worse than the pot calling the kettle black. The Daily Mail is a witch's cauldron of distortion, misrepresentation and outright fabrication.

Starbucksโ€™ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

This is great, started using it today.

I have been crowdsourcing data about plastic waste for years via wastebase.org . Turns out #SingleUsePlastic and AI Slop have a lot in common, in terms of energy and resource usage, as well as the pollution they cause over their long post-consumer lifetimes.

Data Center Watch has published a report claiming that $64 billion worth of American data center projects were โ€˜threatenedโ€™ because of grassroots opposition.

A map produced by Data Center Watch tracking opposition to data centers in America
โ€“ Data Center Watch
The organization is backed by 10a Labs, an intelligence company specializing in AI security. Led by Robert McKenzie, a former adjunct professor of international and public affairs at Columbia University, it provides โ€œintelligence collection, investigative research, and analysis for AI unicorns, Fortune 10 companies, and US tech leaders.โ€

The report claimed that $18bn worth of projects were โ€˜blockedโ€™ and a further $46bn more were โ€˜delayedโ€™ in the two years prior to March 2025.

It primarily attributed this opposition to local concern, identifying several โ€œcommon themesโ€ of opposition, such as โ€œhigher utility bills, water consumption, noise, impact on property value, and green space preservation.โ€

However, the reportโ€™s claims should be read with close attention to its definitions. For instance, โ€˜blockedโ€™ projects include cases where a โ€œcompany submits a new proposal with similar characteristics in a different but nearby location after withdrawing a previous project.โ€

Two examples, which amount to $14.5bn out of the total $18bn, fit this criterion.

The first is attributable to Tract, a company specializing in โ€˜master-plannedโ€™ data center parks, which withdrew a $14bn, 1,000-acre project located in Maricopa County, Arizona, in May 2024. Tract then announced in August of the same year that they had acquired a land parcel - double the size of the original project - within the same county for a data center park.

Whether Tract had already intended to develop a second facility prior to the withdrawal of the first is unclear. Grant von Rooyen, Tractโ€™s CEO, previously told DCD that the company โ€œvery rarely [goes] into a market with only one solutionโ€ฆ [Tract] will ultimately have multiple sโ€ฆ

"10a labs", a 'security research' firm employed by the big AI companies has begun collecting information and attacking organised opposition to data centres, framing them as "NIMBYS" and wildly exaggerating claims.

Will AI mean better adverts or 'creepy slop'? Advertisers are using AI to personalise adverts but not everyone agrees that's a good idea.

So dystopian.

I will block all of these ads in any way I can.
