Trump is leaving communities in Massachusetts and disaster victims in blue states without essential disaster relief. Denying disaster relief to score political points is unacceptable. Trump must stop putting politics over people and deliver aid to Americans who need it.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

I have a college grad son and a daughter currently in college. I told both of them & their friends this: If you’re assaulted on campus, tell the school, but also go to the local police. It’s a criminal matter. The school’s main mission is to protect its own interests. You need to protect yours.

Between 2015 and 2025, at least 15 children in an Idaho faith-healing sect died of treatable conditions. State law allows that to happen: Parents who say their faith prohibits giving their children lifesaving medical care can’t be prosecuted.

Idaho Law Protects Faith Healers. It Wasn’t Always That Way.
From at least the 1880s through the early 1970s, it was illegal for parents in Idaho to choose prayer over medical care when a child’s life was at stake.
