To me, the biggest tell that AI is massively overvalued is that Big Tech has to keep shoving it in our faces. I just noticed Chrome has a 'Gemini' button at the top of the browser, and I'm getting prompts all over the place, including Zoom, to 'try AI.'

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Republican lawmakers have been the primary opposition to child marriage bans across multiple states. Between 2000 and 2018 around 300,000 minors were married in the United States, with 60,000 of those marriages involving an age difference that would otherwise be considered a sex crime. #EpsteinFiles

@sfdirewolf.bsky.social just passed away. What a heartbreaking loss. And a reminder of how important Teen Vogue was.
It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
