We could've just used less gas. We could have done that.
A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat.

The stakes are huge — and the company and its critics say regulations need to catch up.

when I was in college a famous novelist was a guest professor for a year and immediately became notorious for her scathing comments to undergrad writers, including, “it’s not that you need to be a better writer, [name], it’s that you need to be a better person”

anyway, thinking about that today

If you turn this off - as I tried to do - it removes your ability to sort mail into promotions, social media, et cetera. Basically coercing you to train their bullshit A.I. by removing features you had previous access to. Bad company.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

A blockbuster investigation by the AP, out today.

So much in it, give it a read, but starts with: "The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious."

It's so good they want to give us the numbers right before Christmas, as a present.
BLS has cancelled the October Jobs Report. It will be rolled into the November Report that will be published in December. No word on if that’s going to be Friday December 5 or not.

Okay now he’s done it.
A mural that pays tribute to Buddy Holly in Lubbock, Texas — depicting four giant pairs of glasses on crosswalks at an intersection — is a beloved part of the city’s downtown. But a Trump administration directive targeting political road markings will push the city to remove it.
