THE BREAKDOWN WITH JONATHAN COHN: Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed appeared at an event hosted by Jewish Dems in the state seeking forgiveness, hoping to clarify his stances with them — and hoping that they will not be fooled by the rhetoric being shoveled by Republicans and not a few centrist Democrats about what voting for him vs. voting for Mike Rogers will mean for Michigan, the country and the world.

VIRGIN ATLANTIC: Utterly bonkers that Virgin Atlantic is using Maya Angelou’s (real) voice to sell its product. How crazy is it that (the late) Maya Angelou is now a pitchwoman?
BBC: I don’t get the appeal of using AI to recreate Gene Wilder’s voice for this Wonka-themed reality series, but then I’m the original anti-AI curmudgeon:
1. If your first name is “Davis” — you GAY.
