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:

NEW | With nine-day environmental clearances, phantom job figures, and staggering incentives, Andhra Pradesh’s AI infrastructure push exposes the country’s regulatory vacuum for data centres. @ayesha_minhaz writes. frontline.thehindu.com/envir…

There was a time when Universities use to nurture and be home to saintly scholars like Jean Dreze. Congratulations Professor.

पूरे बस्तर में पेड़ों की कटाई चरम पर है. अबूझमाड़ के इलाके में दिन-रात पेड़ काटे जा रहे हैं. उन्हें जलाया जा रहा है. वन विभाग हाथ पर हाथ धर कर बैठा है कि वहां तो कभी सर्वे ही नहीं हुआ है. समझना मुश्किल नहीं है कि जब लाखों पेड़ कट जाएंगे तब खनन में आसानी होगी !

A Pennsylvania farmer chose preservation over profit after turning down an offer worth about $15.7 million for his land. Mervin Raudabaugh, who owns 261 acres of farmland in Silver Spring Township, was offered around $60,000 per acre by developers interested in building a data center. Rather than accept the multimillion dollar deal, he sold the development rights to the Lancaster Farmland Trust for just under $2 million. This decision permanently protects the land for agricultural use. Raudabaugh said protecting his farms was more important than the money. He also expressed concern about the loss of wildlife habitat and the increasing amount of farmland being converted for development. As artificial intelligence continues to expand across the United States, demand for data centers is rising rapidly. These facilities require significant amounts of land, electricity, water, and cooling infrastructure. Because of this, developers are increasingly choosing farmland located near power supplies and population centers. Many farmers face financial pressures from rising costs and uncertain markets, making lucrative offers difficult to refuse. However, once farmland is developed, it is rarely restored to agricultural use. Raudabaugh believes preserving farmland is essential for the future and worries that protected land may eventually be all that remains.

Genetically Modified Ketchup: Heinz Ketchup just got the “Contains Bioengineered Food Ingredients” label. Your family’s trusted BBQ and burger staple is now officially Frankenstein food. That’s mostly GMO high fructose corn syrup (92% of U.S. corn is bioengineered) sugars from bioengineered sugarcane and sugar beets that spike blood sugar, fuel inflammation, and mess with hormones & gut health. Plus a non-disclosed secret proprietary blend of 'natural flavors' that is kept from public knowledge. You thought you were just squeezing tomatoes… but you’re feeding your kids ultra-processed junk while the brand keeps the same nostalgic red bottle. Ditch it. Make your own in 5 minutes. Quick Homemade Ketchup (no HFCS, no GMOs): • 1 small jar (6 oz) tomato paste • ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar • 2–3 Tbsp maple syrup or honey (to taste) • 1 tsp salt • ½ tsp onion powder • ½ tsp garlic powder • ¼ tsp mustard powder • Pinch black pepper optional cayenne Mix until smooth. Stores in fridge for weeks and tastes way better. Throw out the Heinz. Make homemade instead.

WHO ने जिसे बताया 'कैंसर', वो केमिकल भारत में क्यों बिक रहा? अन्नदाता किसानों पर खतरा भारत में बिक रहे खतरनाक एग्रो-केमिकल के पीछे मुख्य रूप से दो बड़े गुनहगार हैं. पहला, मोटी कमाई में अंधी हो चुकीं मल्टीनेशनल एग्रोकेमिकल कंपनियां और दूसरा आंखें मूंदे बैठे सरकारी नियामक संस्थान और उनके अधिकारी. पूरी ख़बर: intdy.in/a2my0a #WHO #CancerRisk #Pesticides #ChemicalAlert #Farmers #Kisan #Agriculture #HealthRisk #ATCard #AajTakSocial

हसदेव अरण्य में जो 7 लाख पेड़ काटने है ना उसका विरोध ना हो करके बार-बार 16 लाख पेड़ लगाने के आंकड़े पेश किये जा रहे हैं। अगर सच में 16 लाख पेड़ लगाए गए हैं तो कहां-कहां और किस जगह पर लगाए गए हैं इसके भी आंकड़े दिए जानी चाहिए। ये भी बताया जाना चाहिए कि दावे के अनुसार जो 16 लाख पेड़ लगाये गए हैं उनमें से कितने पेड़ जीवित हैं इसके आंकड़े सबूत के साथ पेश करने चाहिए।

This is actually attempt to murder. The traffic police is not allowed to do this.

#Watch | In an unusual scene, farmers in Sedam town of Kalaburagi district, in Karnataka, were seen leaving their slippers in the queue to reserve their place while waiting to purchase fertilisers. Hundreds of farmers from various villages arrived at the RSK Centre early in the morning to buy fertilisers. Unable to stand in the long queues for hours, many farmers placed their footwear in line as a marker and waited nearby for their turn.
