Best part of this muddled article by one of Bloomberg's money guys is that two of the charts make a compelling case that knee-jerk opposition to AI is wholly justified because technological progress doesn't increase productivity, it just enables greater income extraction by capital. Oops!

Okay, George Lucas remains a schmuck but his wife is pure class. She made him make the museum souvenirs and food cheap so that schoolchildren without much money can still have a good day, because she says she remembers how bad it felt to go on expensive field trips. It DOES.

The RNC tried to pull off a first-of-its kind “midterm convention” in Dallas & the attendance was…questionable. I was in Dallas to try to talk to attendees to see why they would voluntarily go & to get their thoughts on some pressing issues like the Epstein Files. youtu.be/IJcjZ59ihnw?...

Markwayne Mullin says ICE agents could be deployed “if there is a threat to that polling place or we’re serving a warrant.” Let me guess, they’re going to call in threats themselves and go intimidate people. They’re making mail-in voting unreliable and in-person voting dangerous.

Republicans want us to memory-hole everything Trump did in 2020 while dragging us back into the same tired 2020 culture wars: Fauci, Wuhan, vaccines, communism. Why? Because it’s now 2026, they broke the country, and desperately need a distraction to reinvigorate their base.

NEW: Do Democrats funded by AIPAC pay an electoral penalty in a general election? We find that a Democrat funded by AIPAC performs significantly worse against a Republican than a Democrat who “rejects all outside financial support from industry groups and PACs.”
 "In a Matchup Against a Republican, a Democrat Funded by AIPAC Underperforms a Democrat Who Rejects Outside PAC Money."

In this experiment, respondents were shown hypothetical general election matchups between a Republican and a Democratic candidate, both with a randomized source of outside funding. The chart shows how each funding source affects a Democratic candidate's average performance relative to a Democratic candidate who "rejects all financial support from outside industry groups and PACs."

Planned Parenthood funding is associated with a +1.8pp effect. Nurses unions: -0.8pp. Police unions: -2.0pp. Real estate development industry: -2.7pp. Oil and gas industry: -3.1pp. National Rifle Association (NRA): -4.2pp. Pharmaceutical industry: -4.9pp. Cryptocurrency industry: -4.9pp. Artificial Intelligence industry: -5.3pp. American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC): -6.2pp.
