This is a key moment for modeling positive institutional change as a result of AI: CEOs who brag about how they are using it to expand, rather than just cut headcount; governments that work with AI systems to expand access to education or healthcare, etc.

People need examples!

[Dave Guarino @allafarce]

People are wondering when AI will be helping people navigate government services. The answer is, uh, right now.

Here's Gemini (built into Chrome!) giving both accurate and helpful information to a common and high stakes question on a SNAP application.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

I have some real concerns about what another Trump presidency means for women in this country — and I wanted to share some of my thoughts. If this resonates with you, send this video to every single person you know and remind them what’s at stake in this election.

Northern lights from my backyard in Eckington, DC. Visibly pink with plain eye and even better with quick iPhone photo. Lots of light pollution! @capitalweather

Ashli Babbitt’s mother and the wife of a notorious insurrectionist moved into a townhouse near @OberandOut and @HannaRosin’s home in deep-blue Washington, D.C. Getting to know them proved to be a revealing—and surprising—experience. https://t.co/37vawtLldN

Proud of these projects I designed for Chrome Security last year! Building on @Sereeena’s massive download redesign

[Chrome @googlechrome]

Risky files just got easier to spot. The new downloads experience in Chrome on desktop offers:

Detailed warning messages ✍️
Suspicious and dangerous file labels ⚠️
Automatic deep scans in Enhanced Protection Mode 🔎
Protections for encrypted archives 🔒

@BarredinDC Completely agree - love all the replies. You can watch it again! https://t.co/USoWDp4YST

Congratulations @Evan_Bates & @chockolate02 !

[Mollie Bates @mebates]

The moment when you take your glasses off and look up makes the effort worth it. 🥹 So glad we made the trek for our second totality in 7 years. No clouds in Shelbyville, IN #Eclipse2024

Eckington has transformed "from a landscape of derelict warehouses and fenced-off fields to one full of condos, parks, breweries, and pickleball courts."

It's time to rethink Fort Myer's asphalt plant, @tjl on @ggwash. cc @ZacharyforWard5 https://t.co/QzBlfTe3ou

[Eckington Parks & Arts @EckingtonParks]

🚨Community advocacy effort: Please sign our petition on the renewal of the Fort Myer asphalt plant's DOEE air quality permit in Eckington.

We know you have strong feelings about this!

@CMZParker5 @DCDPR @PoPville @EckingtonCivic Thank you for the info @CMZParker5 ! You’re always on top of it!

[Mollie Bates @mebates]

True now at Harry Thomas pool, too. Managers say @DCDPR came to the pool last week and told them that was the rule. Why the change? @PoPville @CMZParker5 @EckingtonCivic

@ChelseyDC @DCDPR Does anyone know if there is open gym time?

@KristyT All of their staff writers (19) were laid off. Magazine is still trucking! (Designers, copy editors, photo editors still on staff.) Best way to help: subscribe.

10:40 am departure from DCA with the usual view of the tidal basin, but the US Capitol isn’t visible! @capitalweather

We're replacing the 🔒 lock in @googlechrome with something new this year. @Sereeena et al invested the creative energy to find a lock-alternative that was more neutral (think "settings" vs. "safety") in order to help overcome misunderstandings about the lock's precise meaning...

@JenForANC I just sent a 311 request for the dangerous bike lane condition near 2029 3rd st ne. It’s been like this for weeks. https://t.co/XYE2Dbcjce
