OMG OMG I just figured out how to get rid of that annoying Gemini prompt in my Google Docs! Gemini > Bottom bar preferences > Turn Off Now if only there was a way to make this change globally (I've already turned off all my workspace smart features)

Screenshot of a Google Doc. Under the Gemini menu, Bottom bar preferences is selected, and the "Turn off" option is checked

Heartbroken. I lost Giana today to heart disease. She started on medication last week and we were awaiting test results, but today she crashed and I had to say goodbye to her. She was my perfect little snuggler, my bedtime buddy, my calico sweetheart. I already miss her so much. 😿😿💔💔

Holy hell. I can’t imagine being that dependent upon technology to function. Gen X was born during wild technology transitions and failures. We know better than to assume that your technology is going to work when you need it to.

10 Nov 2025 -- Supreme Court turns down right-wing appeal to re-visit gay marriage decision Obergefell v Hodges, and potentially carve out exceptions for (mainly Christian conservative) anti-marriage officials. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Supreme Court won’t hear challenge to landmark gay marriage ruling

The announcement indicates there is not an appetite among the high court’s conservative majority to revisit one of the court’s most significant decisions in recent years.

SO many things to scream about with this proposed budget, but can you imagine removing these sites from NPS operations??? 🤬🤬🤬

This budget only allows for the operation of the 63 National Parks, plus a handful of other select sites. That's it. There's no financial room for anything else.

Rather unbelievably, this would effectively abolish nationally significant parks like Lake Mead, Devils Tower, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mount Rushmore, Gettysburg, and even the National Mall and Memorial Parks.

Millions of eligible voters lack easy access to citizenship documents. Democrat or Republican, the SAVE Act would keep eligible Americans, including women, people of color, rural voters, and people with disabilities from accessing the ballot box. This is voter suppression.
