Did you hear about: The American Show, Midterm Takeaways, The Chats in the Bay, and more

Another week of watching people with actual leverage refuse to use it. Elsewhere, someone uses environmental resources and computing power to make weird AI art. This week, I clicked thru on midterm breakdowns, cultural explainers, loud guitars, and transgressive street art. Here’s the signal I pulled from this week’s noise.

Read

 AP News: Midterm Takeaways

It was an earned thrashing, but already Jeffries and Schumer are hinting they'll hide somewhere in the middle. Voters delivered, now it's time for the leaders to lead. The only thing that could improve Tuesday's results is to replace them with people who know how to play an advantage.

Watch

 The American Show

An AI-created world with Christian values, ridiculous dialog, and no regard for the physical laws of the universe or continuity of any type? Sure, I've got a few minutes.

Listen

 The Chats

The Chats are coming back to the Bay Area in the Spring. Top-tier Aussie punk. See you there.

 The We're Obsessed podcast

The Bill Belichick romance and the Comfortable Liars segments were eye opening. Jodi and Nora decode the culture so you don't have to.

 You Can See Everything discussion

I saw "You Can See Everything" a few weeks ago and have been devouring related content since. This might be the best of the lot.
