    Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris.

    In an Instagram post shared shortly after the first presidential debate between Harris and Donald Trump, the star ended the will-she-won’t-she speculation and threw her support behind the Harris/Walz ticket. Interestingly, she cited recent AI-generated fake images of herself:

    Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.

    Kamala Harris’ campaign website now lists her policy platform.

    The presidential campaign finally has an “Issues” section on its website, which may quell some criticism that the campaign has been withholding or has dodged questions.

    Featured on the website: protections for renters, investments in child care, and reproductive freedom, among others. But there’s still a lot we don’t know, particularly around Harris’ tech policy.

    The New York Times meticulously pieced together the bitter power struggle inside Disney between CEO Bob Iger and his successor, Bob Chapek, who was fired in 2022. The piece, which follows up a 2023 report from CNBC, chronicles Chapek’s rise and fall, and Iger’s quest to return to power.

    Samsung targets Gen Z fashion lovers.

    Wildly popular fashion designer Sandy Liang designed a Galaxy Z Flip 6 phone case and sent the device to influencers during New York Fashion Week.

    Flip phones are experiencing something of a tech Renaissance among young people. This collaboration hits on the nostalgia and trendy aesthetics — but will it make anyone ditch their iPhone?

    Yes, that’s a screen on my dress.

    Back in 2022, LG Display revealed high-resolution displays that can be stretched, folded, and twisted, and now we see them imagined as material that can be used in clothing and accessories.

    Korean designers Youn-Hee Park and Chung-Chung Lee have incorporated them into clothing and handbags and will present them at Seoul Fashion Week.

    New York’s fashion industry continues to shrink.

    A new study found the number of people working in fashion in the city has dropped by nearly 30 percent since 2014 — just as Fashion Week kicks off on Friday.

    The US fashion industry has been declining for decades, but companies like Shein and Temu threaten it even further. I recently discussed the rise of ultra fast fashion on Slate’s What Next podcast.
