NBC News poll

Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

Actually, the left is winning the AI debate But it does need to get organized.

The left is not "missing out" on AI. It's winning the argument. Americans worry about AI and dislike tech CEOs. They're mobilizing against data centers. They support regulation, even refusal.

Calls for the left to embrace AI are an effort to change the terms of the debate in Silicon Valley's favor.

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

it’s funny to me when the cards are really literal. sometimes you’re going through a period when you’re like, everything is shitty out there & i feel like shit about it! and the cards are like, “yeah!”

ha! the vibes have been heavy & this card usually reflects that. it could also be about what’s coming to an end, what feels like a failure, what feels like a burden that’s too heavy to carry (especially mentally). but if you’re at the end of a cycle, another one is right behind it!

Glad that Will asked me to comment on concentration camp history and the current detention plans for a warehouse in Tremont, Pennsylvania.

I’ve Been Laid Off. I’m Not Done. After 20 years at The Washington Post, I’m suddenly on my own — and still writing about books.

There’s obviously nothing wrong with starting or monetizing a newsletter. But it can also be true that individual solutions won’t fix systemic problems.

the only way i know how to survive these times is to grieve without giving over to despair and then get to work. and i think everyone in the culture space has good work to do right now.

i am not in any way downplaying the seriousness of what happened today, but: i believe in the creativity of people who work in media & i believe new and interesting and hopefully more equitable publications and businesses will come out of this moment.
