To quote Mr. Mankewicz and Mr. Wells: "It's no trick to make an awful lot of money if all you want is to make a lot of money."

When most of the U.S. electorate awakes to finally realize great wealth is no way conditional to or dependent on intelligence or morality, this country begins to heal.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

A statement from The New York Times on the Pentagon’s press pass policy:

“Journalists from The New York Times will not sign the Pentagon’s revised press pass policy, which threatens to punish them for ordinary news gathering protected by the First Amendment. Since the policy was first announced, we have expressed concerns that it constrains how journalists can report on the U.S. military, which is funded by nearly $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars annually. The public has a right to know how the government and military are operating. The Times is dedicated to pursuing the public interest through deep, fair reporting and an unwavering pursuit of the facts.”

What kind of things do Americans think are acceptable for filmmakers to use AI for? 64% say translating subtitles is fine, but only 18% say replacing a human actor with an AI character is acceptable.

Full survey: ygo-assets-websites-editorial-emea.yougov.net/documents/AI...

A stacked bar chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "How do Americans feel about the use of AI in filmmaking?."

The chart has the sub-headline: "Do you consider it to be acceptable or unacceptable for filmmakers to use artificial intelligence (AI) in the following ways when making a movie? (% of U.S. adult citizens)."
