Rewatching season 3 of The Diplomat in prep for season 4. My God, the damn writing. “You have the subtlety of a kidney stone.” It’s a line I’m jealous I didn’t write.

The culprit in her coat, which now bears the sexy aroma of coffee. The coffee was the same color as her trench, cappuccino!

A redheaded dumbass, embarrassed because of her Coffee Aim of Not In Mouth but On Nice Man, looks out th window of the Italian train. She is attempting glamour in a white ver neck and beige trench coat and too little sleep.

But I do think a pretty scarf comes in handy in nearly any situation, including acts of American clumsiness. And American husbands are the best of all, especially when they get on the floor and clean up acts of dumbass wife. Onward, (coffee-spilling) ho!

Getting on the train from Rome to Venice was so exciting, I simply had to throw my coffee on this kind man and also the floor. Feeling like a redheaded lummox, I cleaned his seat with my scarf, but he was too gentlemanly to allow it. I would not recommend celebrating travel in this manner.

Lucien Lazare, Jewish fighter in the French Resistance, has died at 101. After fighting the Nazis, he was rejected by his synagogue later in life for translating an article saying “Israel, today, is nothing but a formless mass of corruption, oppression and injustice.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/w...

What I love is the phone AI agents. I have learned you must stay exactly still, as in the presence of a bear, for if you move your phone 1 inch, it says “we’re not communicating anymore, goodbye!” I’ve had it happen over and over again. Now I am still as a statue as I speak to my bot overlord.

They wouldn’t care. They didn’t hit the man, and they would just fall back to well he shouldn’t be in the US in the first place. We need to really finally come to terms with the fact that we cannot reach these vile people. But we can reach independents and people who don’t vote.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

If school administrators don’t want to expel rapists, I think it’s time to investigate school administrators. Because why would anyone defend a rapist? Because they received money…or they are one themselves. Nobody is going to convince me otherwise. It’s all just too evil to defend.

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.”
