So I would assume that this graph works that way because they're not allowed to count the actual votes ahead of time, but the names of the people who voted, and how they registered is a public record.

@apLundell the point is when we register, WE DON'T DO THAT.

We _do not list a party affiliation_ when registering. And we have _open_ primaries.

And yet, they're saying "registered Democrats" and "registered Republicans" in Washington State. Which _are not things_. We _do not do that_.

Nearly 1 in 5 US workers in a survey said they’d been laid off or replaced by AI, then asked to return.

Separately, 32% of organizations that cut staff expecting AI savings reported rehiring.

Companies are discovering that automating tasks isn’t the same as replacing employees.

Of course, the flip side is that 68% of companies surveyed that made AI-related layoffs didn’t report rehiring workers.

So not all AI-driven layoffs are backfiring.

@carnage4life Surely that's got to be "1 in 5 laid off workers was rehired". Else you can mash the stats together to infer 3 in 5 US workers were laid off!

Crypto has also stopped spending big for Democrats in general elections. In 2024 it put $10M apiece behind Slotkin and Gallego. This cycle, no Democrat has drawn more than about $1M, and those are safe incumbents who voted the industry’s way.

In general elections, the crypto industry has stopped spending big to help Democrats. In 2024, it spent about $10 million apiece helping Democrats Elissa Slotkin and Ruben Gallego win their Senate races. This cycle, its Democratic spending has largely been confined to primaries against other Democrats. Even then, its biggest expenditure in a Democratic primary didn’t help any Democrat in particular: it was $10 million in opposition spending against Juliana Stratton in Illinois’s Senate race. Stratton won anyway, by nearly 8 points.

The crypto sector hasn’t spent more than about $1 million helping any Democrat in a general election, and those are mostly rewards to industry allies who will safely win re-election regardless. Its biggest general-election spending supporting Democrats was about $1 million apiece for three incumbents in safe or likely seats: Janelle Bynum (OR-05, Solid D), Steven Horsford (NV-04, Likely D), and Derek Tran (CA-45, Likely D), who all voted for the industry’s top priorities, the Clarity [I110] and Genius Acts [I89]. — In general elections, the crypto industry has stopped spending big to help Democrats.

In South Carolina, the AI industry is making its biggest general-election bet: about $5M behind Republican Darline Graham. $2.5M came from Building the Future, a Leading the Future arm that appeared in October and hasn’t spent on any other federal race. Her opponent calls her “Data Center Darline.”

South Carolina Senate: Darline Graham (R) vs. Annie Andrews (D)
$5.7 million • Lean Republican • From crypto and AI PACs

The South Carolina Senate race wasn’t supposed to be competitive. Trump carried the state by 18 points in 2024, and it hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1998.10 But then Lindsey Graham died while in office in July and was replaced by his sister Darline, who was appointed by the governor and has never held elected office. Her apparent lack of qualifications, combined with party divisions and strong Democratic fundraising, has made the race surprisingly competitive, and aggregate polls have recently shown Graham leading by just 1.4 points.11 — South Carolina Senate: Darline Graham (R) vs. Annie Andrews (D) $5.7 million • Lean Republican • From crypto and AI PACs The South Carolina Senate race wasn’t supposed to be competitive.

This is the artificial intelligence sector’s biggest bet on a competitive general election race. American Mission, the Republican arm of the Leading the Future PAC network, may have thought they were backing an easy winner with their first expenditure of around $375,000 to back Lindsey Graham in his primary. But since then, it has added more than $2 million to back Darline Graham in her primary runoff election and general election. In mid-October, Leading the Future brought in reinforcements: Building the Future, a new arm of the network created specifically to support pro-data center candidates, has spent $2.5 million supporting her in the general, its only federal spending so far. Crypto’s Fellowship PAC also spent $550,000 to back Lindsey Graham in the primary, but did not show up with additional funds to back his replacement.

Andrews has used the data center issue and Graham’s AI funding to tar her opponent as “Data Center Darline”. While Andrews has called for moratoriums on new data centers in the state, Graham has opposed them, saying they would give China a chance to get ahead on AI development.12

Graham has received just over $48,000 in candidate-specific contributions from crypto and AI executives, mostly from Andreessen Horowitz, the Winklevoss twins, and Microsoft. Andrews has received no crypto- or AI-associated PAC support, and no candidate-specific contributions from the associated companies I track (or their executives). — Andrews has used the data center issue and Graham’s AI funding to tar her opponent as “Data Center Darline”.

I’m fed up with all of these radical leftists and their extreme policy positions, like “Healthcare” and “People with more money than they could ever spend should pay a little bit of taxes sometimes” and “Maybe the planet could be a little less on fire.”

Hey Erica, check out TheIndieBeat.fm — @mizkirsten
Is definitely going for an early MTV vibe with it. There’s a community group of Fedi-musicians who have even started streaming videos there.

And, if you’ve got something else in mind, then we should talk (or DM, or whatever) I’m up for any project that brings creative people to the Fediverse.

RE: https://eupolicy.social/@edri/117552971324892322

its impossible to overstate how disastrously bad the actual proposal is lol. why do politicians who hate big tech continue to introduce legislation that further cement the hegemonic powers of big tech platforms?

also, this proposal explicitly wants to ban 'pull to refresh' because that creates addicition lmao

so mad at myself for falling for the campaign to position Kathmann as a digital savvy MP
