AI money is already influencing the midterms. And more is coming. Candidates backed by AI companies have found early success — of the 20 candidates in the Texas and North Carolina primaries who received AI funds, only one lost her race.

Tech #AI giants like OpenAI have contributed over $185 MILLION to political campaigns around the U.S.—thanks to the corrupt MAGA Justices' 2010 landmark FEC case decision allowing unlimited billionaire/corporate PAC spending, candidates bought-n-paid for by AI firms have seen some early wins...

Veterans say they can’t get the VA to call them back, they see trusted therapists leave and they can wait as long as six months for therapy.

Plaza Mayo in Buenos Aires with the Capitol in the background at night. In front, around 100 people hold up neon green hangers and signs that say "adios."

In December 2020, when the abortion ban repeal failed in the Senate in Argentina, campaigners hung the name of every no voter from neon hangers (perchas) in the trees around the Capitol & called them "Senador Percha."
Where are our "Senator Pedophile" & "Senator Murder" signs?

Trump and Netanyahu are said to have spoken nearly every day since the war began – sometimes more than once a day – but the longer things drag on in Iran that could well change as their unholy alliance begins to unravel, writes David Pratt ✍️

E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.

What is “the E-Bike Effect?”

“Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.”

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?

Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.

Congrats again to Chief Keyser Söze:
