It is time to call your Reps and Senators about the destruction of our health care system and ask for this man's impeachment. And yes, I would much rather be posting about children's books and nature, but children and nature are under threat, so I guess I am.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17ยข ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

When you call my name, it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour, I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there

Update November 22. Weโ€™ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmailโ€™s smart features. The settings themselves arenโ€™t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Googleโ€™s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Googleโ€™s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesnโ€™t appear to be the case.

Gmail does scan email content to power its own โ€œsmart features,โ€ such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isnโ€™t the same as training Googleโ€™s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although usersโ€™ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared.

Itโ€™s easy to see where the confusion came from. Googleโ€™s updated language around โ€œsmart featuresโ€ is vague, and the term โ€œsmartโ€ often implies AIโ€”especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Googleโ€™s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift.

Weโ€™ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Googleโ€™s documentation, as itโ€™s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

When Kittens Came to My Prison, I Had Not Petted One in 15 Years I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass.
