My Brookings report with Mark Muro and Shriya Methkupally got another write-up in Fortune, which connects it to the NYC primaries. I'm agnostic on their framing, but it's an interesting read nonetheless.

The political geography of AI exposure | Brookings

. @tomdee.bsky.social very interesting work! Out of curiosity, how much of the patterns described here (www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/u...) can be explained by the public school enrollment decreases? And what type of selection is there of students leaving public school?

If you need a tool to censor language on your TV shows, movies, and Youtube, I'd highly recommend "Advance Profanity Filter," a Google Chrome plug-in. The best part is that it's that's completely free! It works by recognizing words in closed captioning.
