Great score last night from Too Good To Go. Yes, that is a whole large fresh pizza. We paid about $6 for it. If you don’t have TGTG and you live in an urban area with lots of restaurants, you need this app. tgtg.onelink.me/OGjG/4a7k9x29

California just shipped the first state-level model AI policy for K-12 schools. One state now has a template that 49 others can adopt, adapt, or ignore. The districts that move first will define the national pattern. cde.ca.gov/nr/el/le/yr26ltr0706.asp

I have season tickets to a local theater. Last year and again this year I used Gemini to add the theater dates to my Google Calendar. I took a picture of the tickets. Gave the pic to Gemini and asked it to add the theater events to my calendar. It's a small but satisfying time savings. #gemini
