Google denies ‘misleading’ reports of Gmail using your emails to train AI Google says “we do not use your Gmail content for training our Gemini AI model.”

The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

Surrogates is a deep cut

Not only does it offer the least combat training, the Air Force is one of the more selective branches. He'd been better off in the Marines, but the AF is the easiest branch, so who knows. Not a bright bulb, either way

"Joined the Air Force to learn combat skills" is a great contradiction in terms

Christopher Nolan's Odyssey won't be good unless it has as much crying as the original

"Would you feel comfortable living in New York City under a Mamdani administration?"

Trump: "I would"

Ackman just started throwing up and crying.

A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.

Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

Zohran clearly won him over lol

Pretty neat to see an elected DSA member standing in the Oval Office after a one-on-one meeting with the president

I love riding the bus baby

it's funny that he got the tribe right

Not good!

we're one step closer to his dream

You'd think so, but the people yearn for wall-touching and similar activities

"are Southern whites more racist than other American whites" is like the most tested question of all time in American history and the answer is yes extremely so

can't believe this is how I found out

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

Dijon sounds like the DJ Mustard Chris Gaines

This is not true. Republicans win in the South because a majority of voters choose them, not because of "voter suppression." They win ~90% of white voters in much of the South and there are more white voters than Black voters because there are more white people than Black people

"We've been turned in for everything. We had a raid here. It was a set-up deal. A couple of crooked cops had some guy bring in cans of lunch meat. The guy said he's goin' out of business and he had a couple cases. I got a good price off of him. I set it in the aisle. About a half an hour later in walks these two guys. 'That's stolen merchandise. What else you got that's stolen?" They went through the house. 'We're gonna have to take your television. We're gonna have to take this. This is stolen. That's stolen. We know how things are. Give us a thousand dollars and we'll leave you alone. "We were new at this thing and got scared. So I went out and borrowed the money and gave it to these guys. I took the license number of their car and reported it. They put us through a lie detector test. They didn't want to believe us. We had to go to the police show-up and things like that. During this time cop after cop was comin' in raiding us with search warrants, just harassment, one thing after another. All the time, we were waitin' to identify these guys at the show-up. "The phone'd ring all night long, with heavy breathing and all. They worked on the family and stuff like that. We had health inspectors, building inspectors, fire inspectors, all the harassments of the city that you could get. Just because we turned in a couple of cops. They were hushing it up all down the line." Irene interjects: "One day, nine or eleven plainclothesmen come in and started goin' through the store, tearing stuff out and everything. He has a search warrant that we had a printing press and we're supposed to be print-ing false credit cards and false ID cards. They tore the place upside down, up in the attic, in the basement. What really took the cake, they came in looking for these pornography books. They said some woman in the neighborhood reported us that we were selling to children. They put me in a state of shock. What we were selling were those coin saver books. We had 'em behind the counter …

"We decided we had to do something to enlighten ourselves. To be mentally active besides physically active. So we got into the psychic field. I did palm-istry before. We went to hypnosis classes. Irene went into more develop-ment in hand reading and I was teaching hynotic principles. She's a staff member at the psychic center." Irene interjects: "We're both ordained as reverends by the IGAS-Inter-national General Assembly of Spiritualists. It's a nondenominational church. George takes people in that have hang-ups and problems. In the meditation room here."

Wild aside about Ma and Pa store owners experiencing police harassment in Studs Terkel’s Working.

They later “got into the psychic field” to deal with the stress.
