I’ve voted in rigged elections. Now I get to vote in an American one. Neither Harris nor Trump inspire enthusiasm in me. But having grown up in Russia, I know the difference between a poor choice and none at all. Tanya Lukyanova (@TLuk1410) in The FP: thefp.pub/3YP9rHi

We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat. Some of those stories may even be true! But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇

I’m proud my dad spent his entire adult life fighting to build affordable housing, despite being vilified in decades-long pointless court battles - just to be allowed to do what the law already says. Thank you, Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson for fighting for something better.

It’s understandable that people who make their livelihood as craftspeople are freaked out by AI. I am too. The question we face is the same one printers faced as printing became accessible to everyone: embrace the tech and a new role, or resist and print wedding invitations?

Nothing stopping them from suing. The law is not settled about this use. The more interesting question to me is ethical - artists I adore from printers to painters to musicians all “steal” in their work. Creatively, theres no limit but what an audience will accept.

Great example of outdated tech standing the test of time - typesetting has been automated for a long while pre-AI, but remains a job for a smaller number of specialists on luxury products. The more difficult Q is which luxuries people will pay for.

Starting in 2014, Vox's video division built out a scrappy team of journalists who began inventing their own form of visual storytelling, one that combined data viz, animation, sound design, expert interviews, and narration. thelongstory.substack.com/p/why-the-best…
