The scariest part of today is when a teenaged barista complimented my "shawl," and I realized I was in fact wearing "a shawl," like a grandmotherly beggar shivering on a foggy London street corner circa 1832

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

I want to be wise and calm and strong for my husband because he has cancer and I am well, but really I'm just scared and sad and one second from screaming. It's unfair and it's impossible and it's just one small tragedy among a thousand massive crises.

President Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s local police is unprecedented. “The last person who asserted the authority to use military personnel for routine law enforcement anywhere in the country for any reason was King George,” a legal scholar said.

Someone recently wrote a book using ChatGPT and emailed it to me, asking if it's any good, as if I would ever waste a second of my time reading it? Why are people so shameless? Why do people want to be seen as "writers" so much? Why can't they use AI to get a lucrative job in coding instead?
Just received a blanket pitch from a children's book author (sent, presumably, to many indie bookstores) pitching a clearly AI-illustrated book. In the interest of public service, this was my response. I'm fucking done with being nice to these people.
