one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

It says volumes about the egos and the delusions of people who consider themselves elites that so many of them get a phone call from this guy and manage to convince themselves “I bet I’ll look good if I do this interview”
Isaac Chotiner: you’re a cool and handsome guy with no flaws and you could never be tripped up by a nerd ass journalist asking you “tricky” questions

Me: that’s correct Isaac Chotiner

Jamal Khashoggi was a WaPo columnist when he was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul at the direction of the Saudi government. The entire world condemned it, except Trump. This wasn’t “things happen.” It was a state-sanctioned assassination for exercising free speech.

it absolutely rules that the N&O is running, and promoting, this story. newspapers in any city ICE threatens should consider doing the same.

when we say this whole circus is getting further and further away from the actual victims, here you have a financial site talking about the "reputational risks with direct economic fallout, including impacts on market valuation".

Thing that rattles around in my head:

Fifteen or so years go I attended a book event for two ghost hunters. One of them just casually said, "As we all know, ghosts can't move anything heavier than a five-pound bag of flour."

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME.

This week in Art I Am Obsessed With: this self-portrait by Suzanne Valadon. It looks so incredibly contemporary (I would literally wear that exact outfit on hot summer day) but it’s from 1923. Anyway, love a queen with flowy pants and a dangling cigarette!
