Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

amongussexgif

...

Instead of being in settings its in the google app. Also, google, not chrome. Icon is a G, not the circle thing. Click on your pfp to open a menu

From there, go Settings > Gemini > Digital Assistants > Switch to Google Assistant. This disables Gemini, google's Al assistant, and switches you back to the old one. We aren't done yet.

Go back to Settings. From there, we go Settings > Google Assistant > scroll to find General > Google Assitant on/off > turn it off

They really tried their best to make it a pain, but you can eventually disable it. Holding the power button on your phone still pulls up a menu and asks you to turn it back on, but this is the least intrusive you can make it.

Applies to all non-apple phones afaik. For sure Samsungs and Pixels but idrk about others

Edit: thank you my friend @/teeth-kid for confirming that this also works on Motorola

My radical hot take is that it’s actually about not misgendering trans men when you hook up. “You shall not lie down with a man as though they are a woman.”

It cannot be overstated that the majority of abusers view themselves not as using a pattern of harm to seek power and control, but as responding to the harm of being denied something they are rightfully owed.

On Tuesday, the Texas Senate passed SB 37, which removes faculty oversight of the core curriculum, particularly humanities and social science courses (particularly History courses) AND strips university faculty senates of any real input in shared governance. www.texastribune.org/2025/04/10/t...

Texas Senate approves bill that could reshape how history and race are taught in state universities

An overhauled version of Senate Bill 37 would also allow anyone to file complaints that could lead schools to lose funds.

Steve Jackson Games posted this to their blog and the post is getting so many hits their site is effectively crashed but the point is worth repeating

" On April 5th, a 54% tariff goes into effect on a wide range of goods imported from China. For those of us who create boardgames, this is not just a policy change. It's a seismic shift.
At Steve Jackson Games, we are actively assessing what this means for our products, our pricing, and our future plans. We do know that we can't absorb this kind of cost increase without raising prices. We've done our best over the past few years to shield players and retailers from the full brunt of rising freight costs and other increases, but this new tax changes the equation entirely.
Here are the numbers: A product we might have manufactured in China for $3.00 last year could now cost $4.62 before we even ship it across the ocean. Add freight, warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution margins, and that once-$25 game quickly becomes a $40 product. That's not a luxury upcharge; it's survival math.
Some people ask, "Why not manufacture in the U.S.?" I wish we could. But the infrastructure to support full-scale boardgame production – specialty dice making, die-cutting, custom plastic and wood components – doesn't meaningfully exist here yet. I've gotten quotes. I've talked to factories. Even when the willingness is there, the equipment, labor, and timelines simply aren't."

There is a very real sense in which a lot of putatively progressive men, invested as much as their more-reactionary counterparts in the cult of masculinism and machismo, view fascists as aspirationally masculine and resent the "feminized" lefitst politics of care work and community-building.

This is the single most important advice any creative person needs to hear. There are of course factors such as financial insecurity or mental and physical impediments (spoons ≠ motivation even though people will tell you they are the same) but when you can, do, whether you feel inspired or not.

A big misconception is that you need to be motivated to get rolling.
You don't.
Research: Motivation often FOLLOWS action, not the other way around.
In Practice: You don't need to feel good to get going; you need to get going to give yourself a chance at feeling good.

"The idea that the transmasculine person is a failed feminist is deeply embedded in particular strains of feminist theory." This kept me from seeking the medical help I needed. Top surgery was life-saving and dramatically improved my quality of life, once it became available to nonbinary people.

There's a reason why the people will not see Luigi Mangione as a villain, no matter how hard the cops and the press try to distract & divide us. The truth is too obvious, and too ugly.

A tweet from Dr Zachary D Levi MD which reads:

United Healthcare @UHC just denied a claim on one of my patients in the ICU with:

-- a brain hemorrhage
-- in a coma
-- on a ventilator
-- in heart failure

...because I haven't proven to them that caring for her in the hospital was "medically necessary".

Tear it all down.
