If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this.

Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.

Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

I miss the Thailand night life … 🥲

A frog the size of your fingernail lives at this waterfall, inside a single species of plant. It is born in one, mates in one, raises its tadpoles in one, and dies in one. The whole species is found in this small corner of Guyana and nowhere else on Earth.

The plant is a giant bromeliad. It belongs to the same family as the pineapple, with long stiff leaves that spiral out from the center and trap rainwater between them in small pools. Those pools are the frog's entire world. Males defend one plant as their home territory. They carry tadpoles on their backs from pool to pool. The females lay extra eggs that never hatch, so the tadpoles have something to eat. The entire species lives in a patch of forest under 8 square miles.

The waterfall makes all of this possible. Water drops 741 feet in a single fall, more than four times the height of Niagara. Every four seconds, enough water goes over the edge to fill an Olympic swimming pool. No other single-drop waterfall on Earth carries that much water.

When the water hits the bottom of the cliff, the impact throws up a permanent cloud of mist. The wind pushes the mist back up over the cliff edge. Up top, the mist soaks the rocks and the trees, building a narrow strip of cool, wet, foggy forest in the middle of a hot, lowland jungle. Nothing else for hundreds of miles has this same environment.

Almost half of the plant species that grow only in this part of northern South America are found inside this one national park. Swifts (small, fast birds) nest in a hidden rock shelf right behind the curtain of falling water. The falls have been a wall to fish for so long that the fish living above the cliff are trapped up there. With nowhere to go, they evolved into species that exist nowhere else. Researchers sampled 28 fish species above the falls. 4 of them live only there, and 6 more may not yet have a name.

Kaieteur sits on a giant slab of ancient rock called the Guiana Shield. It is about 1.7 billion years old, and it is completely separate from the Amazon basin. The river feeding the waterfall (the Potaro) flows east into another river called the Essequibo, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean without ever touching the Amazon. That separation, plus the Shield's age, is the whole reason this frog and these fish and this little patch of cloud forest could evolve here in the first place.

A British surveyor named Charles Barrington Brown was the first European to lay eyes on the falls in 1870. The local Patamona people had known about them for centuries. Take the waterfall away, and most of what lives within a mile of it, the frog included, would have nowhere left on Earth to go.

“All of y’all’s journeys is tailored to you specifically… before all of this, and I know it looks like I’m winning a lot these days, but a lot of you guys did not know me when I was not in my winning season. And I was going through trials after trials… financially, emotionally, romantically… and I found myself constantly comparing myself to others around me… So now I’m in my winning season, you guys are able to witness it. Just know your winning season is around the corner. Stay true to you and keep going. It’s on the way, I promise.”

People have no idea that all of this is available on archive dot org for free, like every other old children’s show which isn’t a funnel for developing a gambling addiction. You can just watch all of these 90s Beatrix Potter adaptations right here: https://t.co/OklEKfHHNo

fortunately, i'm a person that's okay with starting over. there will always be another lover, another job, other friends, but never another life.

Chicago ppl, please be careful getting into Ubers while you’re out and make sure you turn on your code on the app so the driver can’t start the ride until they put it in. This is a way to KNOW that the car is for you.
A friend got in the wrong car outside of Mom’s Place in River North. The driver pulled out a gun, stole his phone and passcodes to everything, pretended to be him, asked friends for money, zelled money out of his account to friends for it to be apple cashed and cash apped back and out into a separate account. They tried dipping into his live savings as well, but luckily that didn’t go through. Thousands of dollars were stolen. They dropped my friend off all the way on the South Side with nothing.
It was very elaborate and believable at first, thinking our friend was in need.
This is an ongoing issue per the police and happening every day. People are truly evil.

The fact that I had fell asleep last night when I planned to go out with my best friend 😭.

[Anthony @_epickid]

It’s always something with DC pride, it’s the reason I never returned after my first time in ‘23. I only enjoyed myself because it was my graduation weekend that year.

The fact that I95 has a $49 toll … Waze told me my trip would be $25, yet I somehow paid $70 in tolls to get to NC??

I didn’t realize how low the bar had gotten until I caught myself asking for the bare minimum like it was a favor.

Simple things. A call back. A little reassurance. Just feeling considered.

And every time I had to ask, I felt smaller. Like I was negotiating for something that should’ve been natural.

It started to feel less like love and more like convincing.

I’d sit there wondering if I was doing too much, if I should pull back, if maybe I was expecting too much… when really, I just wanted to feel secure.

At some point, it clicked for me that love isn’t supposed to feel like that.

You shouldn’t have to beg to feel chosen.

Now I pay attention to how someone shows up without me prompting them. If it feels forced or one-sided, I don’t try to fix it anymore.

I just want something where the care is obvious.

Where I don’t have to ask twice.

Where I feel it… without chasing it.

Had plans to go out & thought taking a cute 1hr nap would be fine. Why’d it turn into 5 hours…😩

Anyone with young children really needs to see this.

@Childish_Cvm Any tech store?

My ps5 keeps overheating & shutting off on its own playing marvel rivals, and I literally don’t know how to fix it😭
