GDrive > top right gear:

Manage Apps > uncheck Gemini
ALSO
Privacy > Manage Workspace smart feature settings > two Gemini settings, toggle off

(Gemini AI is on by default and it explicity scans and "shares" or "uses" your info and activity across Google products)

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.

The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race.

Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts

The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you didn’t know any geek girls in high school or you don’t know any now it’s because they didn’t trust you and you’re *NOT A SAFE PERSON* for women to be themselves around.

Earl Grey: 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 @earlgreymemes.club · 3d

okay grandpa, let's get you to bed

To understand this problem, first, you have to understand the demographics of Star Trek viewers. Trekkies are and always have been men. Women are not usually interested in science fiction, but that’s doubly true of Star Trek in particular.

I hear you, random guy who once knew some lady who watched every Voyager episode. I see you on Instagram, attractive girl cosplaying in Starfleet miniskirts. Unfortunately, you very cool Trek-girls are the exception, not the rule.

I always feel like it's the opposite, heh. People who know history are doomed to always have to tell people, "yes, sort of, it's kind of like that but also more complicated. Our story begins in 1453..." or whatever.

Those who do learn from history are doomed to have people tell them they’re overreacting

So many women are worried about using too many exclamation points in emails, Black women are haunted by "twice as good for half as much", and I've read research papers about Asian women punished for being "too assertive" at their jobs, but I think this qualifies as Hazardous White Guy Confidence.

The idea that a grown man never thought to Google what his prominent chest tattoo that he probably looked at every day in the mirror actually meant is also not winning my confidence
