@semaforben @broderick they sound better, I hope it's a trend toward people caring about sound production

Giant mics now convey more authority than fancy sets

How long has AC360 on CNN been doing the faux podcast set design?

Very smart take on what went wrong in the past, and exactly the kind of pledge to be different from a generic baseline Democrat that you need to win in tough races.

James Talarico on listening to real Texans about border policy, not the groups in DC who say they represent them.

I don’t think it’s “fun” that Warren is trying to ensure we nominate a candidate with no track record of winning back the kind of swing voters we’d actually need to win Iowa
Amanda Litman@amandalitman
Elizabeth Warren getting involved in Democratic Senate primaries (and going against Schumer/the DSCC picks) is fun to watch and I hope more of her colleagues do the same. It’s more proof the establishment has lost the juice.

Agree that it's "fun to watch" but voters should be aware that she is a *massive* electoral under-performer, so while Warren "Warren likes Candidate X" is not definitive proof that Candidate X is a bad choice in a hard race, it is definitely evidence that Candidate X is bad.

I need @jbarro to know that he has conflated the Arch Deluxe with the McDLT. But the internet exists, so I'm sure someone has already told him

NIST really needs to take a stand on what "biweekly" means and put an end to this.

@jbarro Of course suspending the Jones Act lowers costs - they are just minimal compared to the war's impact. CAP has supported suspension of the Act for Puerto Rico. I didn't author the piece and welcome your engagement of the authors.

@neeratanden what's with this? what's progressive about giveaways to the tiny domestic shipping industry that raise consumer prices (especially in Puerto Rico and Hawaii)?

Platner up w a response ad to Mills attack in #MESen. “Maine, I’m asking you not to judge me for the worst thing I said on the internet on my worst day 14 years.” He’s putting more points on air this week; Mills buy is $87k in Portland market, Pratner at $350k in Portland.

It’s true that a 60-day Jones Act waiver will only lower prices by $.01/gallon.
Which is why @POTUS should go all the way and support a full Jones Act repeal to achieve the full benefits of up to $.10/gallon!
Jacqui Heinrich@JacquiHeinrich
The American Maritime Partnership is swiping at the White House over the 60-day Jones Act waiver, saying the maximum impact to gas prices is less than 1 cent per gallon: "We are deeply concerned about this 60-day, broad waiver being abused and unnecessarily displacing American workers and American companies. The law sets a high bar: this waiver exists solely to address an immediate threat to military operations, not to displace American workers or reward foreign operators. Every vessel movement under this waiver must be publicly disclosed and justified, according to federal law. We will be watching closely — and so will the American public. We also reiterate that this waiver will not reduce gas prices. The maximum potential impact of domestic shipping on the cost of gasoline nationwide is less than one penny per gallon.” -American Maritime Partnership

"I received hundreds of pound cakes at work from different people." And yet he claims to have damages? Pound cake is delicious (and he clearly likes it) -- he should send Afroman a thank-you note.
Meghann Cuniff@meghanncuniff
A retired deputy suing Afroman for defamation testified he doesn’t know why the rapper nicknamed him “Officer Pound Cake,” so Afroman’s lawyer played the “Lemon Pound Cake” video. “You would admit that’s you with the glasses walking by the lemon pound cake on the counter?”

We normally record these episodes in the morning when I’m very tired but this one we did in the afternoon so it has more Classic Ben Dreyfuss™ than usual

Hey @MarkwayneMullin!
I'd love to know where you learned about the "smell" and "taste" of war.
And the "special assignments" you completed.
And the "situations" you've been in "overseas."
You said it's something you'll "never forget."
Can't wait to hear more tomorrow!

@davidshor @Jess_Riedel @michaeljaydepp @robinhanson I guess I'm not sure this conversation has much point because I think your premise -- that AI is going to lead to mass disemployment, absent policy intervention -- is just incorrect.
English
@Jess_Riedel @michaeljaydepp @robinhanson I personally think the bulk of the answer is going to be disincentivizing layoffs by heavily taxing automation-driven profit increases and subsidizing private sector employment, but there’s a lot to figure out.

AI often gets compared to the Industrial Revolution in the "short term disruption, long term benefit" sense, but the US is MUCH more democratic now
Modern voters can regulate technology to a standstill in the way that weavers put out of work by mechanical looms couldn't
David Shor@davidshor
The "everything will be fine" message is dead on arrival with voters. When leaders in government and tech say "AI will not cause widespread job losses" - net trust is -41. When they say "AI will create economic productivity that benefits everyone" - net trust is -20.
