All the weird unscientific cultists framing the AI debate are testament to the power of well-funded movements (no matter how ridiculous) to shape narratives.

Black text that reads:

Earlier today, an off-duty NYPD detective was stabbed several times in the Bronx during what preliminary information indicates was an attempted robbery. 

I visited the detective and his family at Jacobi Hospital with Police Commissioner Tisch. 

He is thankfully in stable condition, and I am hoping for his quick and complete recovery. I am confident that the NYPD will identify and apprehend the suspects and that the people responsible will be held to account.

For once, Ken Paxton is being honest: if it weren't for our broken campaign finance system, he'd have no shot. #UnrigWashington candidate @jamestalarico.bsky.social is running to reform our system and fight for Texans. Ken Paxton can't say the same. #TXSEN

Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor. Donors make huge profits while workers get shafted. Repeat. This is not a coincidence. It's a political-economic system that's been corrupted by design.

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

After a donation, Trump intervened to let Live Nation-Ticketmaster off the hook in its monopoly trial. After Bezos buttered him up, Amazon got a slap on the wrist for allegedly tricking people into Prime accounts. After cutting business deals with them, he pardoned crypto felons. See a pattern?

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.
