Just to clarify: this isn’t just the first time since WW2 that all incumbent parties in developed countries lost vote share.
It’s the first time since this data was first recorded in 1905. Essentially the first time in the history of democracy (universal suffrage began in 1894).

Apparently some Dems are concluding from this that they were powerless to avoid a heavy defeat, so I will take this opportunity to plug my column from last month warning that progressives’ leftward shift on social issues was alienating Hispanic voters ft.com/content/84b81600-d107…

Imagine being Sundar Pichai now:
- you had the largest continually updated data set of any company to train AI on (the Google Index)
- you invented the underlying technology of LLMs like ChatGPT in 2017 called Transfomers
- you had complete search dominance: all you had to add was AI and you'd own the market
And yet:
- you managed to complete fumble your massive head start and was late to everything
- you made your APIs so hard to use nobody seriously integrated it into their apps and people instead went Anthropic and OpenAI
- you now see your search dominance quickly slipping away to Perplexity and yesterday's launched ChatGPT Search
This will be a business case studied in universities for decades

Montage of clips of Trump dragging his right leg over the last few months. He refuses to release his medical records.

If your current ID carries your married name--different from your maiden name on your birth certificate--you could be disqualified from voting under the SAVE act pushed by GOP and Trump.
Could block millions of women from voting

The GOP VP candidate just vamping about how we are in a new civil war against the Yankees like he’s an Auburn freshman after a 3am bong rip at a frat houses Robert E Lee Day party. Wild. thebulwark.com/p/jd-vance-an…

As if it wasn’t clear already VW illustrates the giant, ticking time-bomb at the heart of Europe’s economic model.
The European economy is based on two things, industrial production and selling the past.

The trailer for Jiří Mádl's new film Vlny/Waves, which centres on events at Czechoslovak Radio during the 1968 Russian invasion, just dropped – and looks really promising. I'm very much looking forward to seeing this in a few weeks at @KVIFF!
