☆ An invite-only audio app has Silicon Valley and creators buzzing. But can it last?

Somewhere between Clubhouse and X (formerly Twitter), Airchat's feed of audio snippets transcribed by the app has sparked conversation. Already, the invite-only app has a channel dedicated to the creator economy titled "Creators" — including industry figures like Eric Wei (CEO of Karat), Lia Haberman (influencer marketing expert), and Brett Dashevsky (host of Creator Economy NYC events). Dashevsky, a self-described "avid Twitter user," said that Airchat is already displacing his average Twitter screen time. It wouldn't come as a surprise to anyone in tech or social media to see Meta double down on Threads' audio tools. But she added that she could see Meta brainstorming ways to promote Threads' audio tools, which could become a concern for Airchat.

The Washington Post's Lili Loofbourow wrote that "Shōgun" will draw comparisons to "Game of Thrones" because it has a "proven combination of gorgeous set pieces, moral ambiguity, cliffhangers (literally, in one case!)

A shutdown could risk Social Security payments and SNAP benefits. But with House Republicans in disarray , that seems unlikely to happen before the weekend deadline. But even if the Senate agrees on that measure, House Republicans continue to be at odds. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy told Punchbowl News on Tuesday that he wouldn't engage in "hypotheticals" when it comes to a clean Senate funding bill.

☆ Elon Musk's control of Starlink gives him unchecked power over elected governments
  + stars: | 2023-09-13 | by ( Charles R. Davis | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
Elon Musk's control over Starlink is in the spotlight after he thwarted a Ukrainian attack. "If the Ukrainian attacks had succeeded in sinking the Russian fleet, it would have been like a mini Pearl Harbor and led to a major escalation," Musk told Isaacson. (Musk later reassured a Russian ambassador that Ukraine would not be able to use Starlink for offensive operations, according to Isaacson). AdvertisementAdvertisementAs Ukrainian officials see it, sinking Russia's fleet, if that was indeed a possibility, would have prevented hundreds of missiles from raining down on the country's infrastructure, and spared civilian lives. Even if it wanted to change Musk's mind, it is not clear that it can actually compel him to do anything when it comes to Ukrainian attacks on territory controlled by Russia.

Prosecutors want to know how intoxicated Rudy Giuliani was during and after the 2020 election. They also want to know if Trump knew that Giuliani was drunk when he was advising the former president. An aide testified that Giuliani was "intoxicated" on Election Night 2020 but Giuliani said he was only drinking Diet Coke. Investigators have also asked witnesses if Trump gossiped about Giuliani's drinking, and if the former president ever said Giuliani's drinking habits affected his judgment. One Trump aide, Jason Miller, previously said Giuliani was drunk at the White House's 2020 election night party.

☆ Nation's top general says it's an 'overstatement' to say 'the entire military is woke' over a few drag shows on bases
  + stars: | 2023-08-18 | by ( Brent D. Griffiths | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Critics have pointed to drag shows and the use of critical race theory, both of which Milley said are overstated. Milley, the nation's highest-ranking military officer, said he supported Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's decision to ban drag shows at military bases after some Republican lawmakers sparked an outcry. Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican, who criticized the drag shows, called the Pentagon's new policy a "HUGE VICTORY." Critics have also taken aim at critical race theory, an academic theory that looks at America's history of racism and discrimination through a modern lens. Already, three military services are without a Senate-confirmed leader, the first time that's happened in the nation's history.

☆ Republicans want to cut food assistance for 5 million low-income babies and parents
  + stars: | 2023-07-28 | by ( Juliana Kaplan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Low-income parents and babies are eligible to receive the benefit, which subsidizes food and care. If the GOP bill were passed, millions would see a benefit cut, especially to fruit and vegetable budgets. In total, according to CBPP's analysis, the $6 billion the GOP bill allocates to WIC would lead to 5.3 million children and pregnant, postpartum, or breastfeeding parents seeing their food assistance cut, or completely gone. Per the USDA, 6,260,000 people participated in WIC in fiscal year 2022; as of April 2023, there were over 6.6 million Americans participating, including nearly 1.5 million infants and 3.6 million children. The proposed cuts to WIC come after an already-precarious time for low-income Americans receiving food subsidies.

The New York Democrat worried the president's "regressiv[e]" approach to cannabis could carry over. "And if there's a regressiveness toward cannabis policy, it's likely to be worse on anything else." The New York Democrat is trying to remove federal limits on scientific research for psychedelics that have blocked further study of the drugs.

This week, CNN CEO Chris Licht was fired after a scathing profile was published in the Atlantic. In the profile, Licht details his own thoughts about how diversity should be defined in the media industry. In Alberta's profile, Licht claimed to be operating under his own idea of "diversity," one that does not include "virtue signaling." "I think 'Defund the police' would've been covered differently if newsrooms were filled with people who had lived in public housing," Licht continued. The diversity Licht did seem to value was geographic diversity, which can be a coded way of saying "not from the liberal coasts."

There's no reason to think the Discord leak has damaged US national security, Daniel Ellsberg said. "Top secret is like toilet paper" at the Pentagon, said Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Ellsberg told The Washington Post that the US government tends to keep a "mystique of secrecy." "At the Pentagon, top secret is like toilet paper, it's nothing," the former military analyst told the outlet.

A recent survey suggests Republicans are more likely to take a cruise right now than Democrats. In a December 2022 survey of 1000 US adults, 35% of Republican respondents said they were "very comfortable" going on a cruise today, a level of enthusiasm shared by only 12% of Democrats. On the flip side, 40% of Democrat respondents said they were "very uncomfortable" going on a cruise ship, nearly double that of Republican respondents. Taking a cruise vacation wasn't always politically polarized — 16% of Democrat respondents said they had gone on a cruise prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, just a few percentage points less than Republican respondents. With this month marking three years since the onset of the pandemic, industry executives claim cruise demand has officially returned to 2019 levels.

Other self-driving sensors like LiDAR technology are popular with Tesla's self-driving rivals. In the past, Musk has said LiDAR is "doomed" and too costly.

However, following the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, Pompeo distanced himself from the claims and called the attack "unacceptable."
