Hey shoutout to Zoroastrianism for not getting all salty about how *you* used to be top dog.
One of my writers groups has people who don't do genre work so don't have a lot of feedback for my space western on Mars.
So now I'm writing ballads from the world that are centuries old by now but I need you to know what song a character is referencing in a throwaway line.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I once got a splinter on my hand from the roughened door at Outdoors and had to pull it out with my teeth because the guys working there didn’t know how to or care should I report this?
Also it was like 25 years ago.

Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back
Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.
I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.
