    Hollywood's video game performers voted to go on strike Thursday, throwing part of the entertainment industry into another work stoppage after talks for a new contract with major game studios broke down over artificial intelligence protections.

     

    The strike — the second for video game voice actors and motion capture performers under the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists — will begin at 12:01 a.m. Friday. The move comes after nearly two years of negotiations with gaming giants, including divisions of Activision, Warner Bros. and Walt Disney Co., over a new interactive media agreement.

    Union leaders say they aren't "anti-AI altogether." But voice actors and other video game performers are worried that unchecked use of AI could provide game makers with a means to displace them — by training an AI to replicate an actor's voice, or to create a digital replica of their likeness without consent.

    They should do a Daily Show/Jeopardy thing where they rotate the VP every few weeks to stir up ratings and get a good mix of personalities.

    Mr. Cooper, the governor of North Carolina, had been seen as one of the half-dozen top candidates to join the Democratic presidential ticket. It was not immediately clear why he withdrew.

     

     

     

    Apparently Whitmer has also (at least publicly) withdrawn. Though I don't think she was a top contender.

    Unchanged, since last week. She is at 50% favorability though up 7 from last week and unfavorability was down 5, net +4.

     

     

    Here's an article with more details:

    Harris leads Trump in 2024 presidential race

     

    Key takeaways:

    • With her favourability up 7 (50%) and her unfavourability down 5 (46%), that's a 12-point swing in a week
    • Third-party support is down to 4% in this poll
    • In the first week of her being the presumptive nominee, more people said they've heard something good about her, rather than bad (47% to 35%)
    • 17-point jump in favourability among independents
    • Thanks 1
  5. Harris is smart to refer to these as "Trump abortion bans" every time she references them:

  6. PA will once again take days to count votes thanks to the GOP:

     

    WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM

    Republicans in the state Senate refused to change the law and allow mail-in votes to be counted ahead of Election Day, despite widespread calls for change.

     

    It will almost certainly look like Trump is carrying it on election night, and then the mail-in ballots will be counted over multiple days.

    Depends. You run to win, not to govern. Once you win, you can then change your stances or policies. I can't say whether or not this stance is a winning one. If it wins her the midwest but she loses votes in California and NY, then it's a good stance. If she doesn't, then it's a bad stance.
