Well done, my fellow Chicagoan!

Bam! And even then, I’m rooting for the Cubs, not against the Sox, in that I’m rarely rooting against an opponent. I’m rooting for my team.

Forget #GirlDad for a moment. Salute to the #BoyDads who are teaching their sons the meaning of consent, and why being a real man means standing up for what’s right.

A lot of self-proclaimed #GirlDads get real quiet when it’s time to hold men accountable for sexual assault.

Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit treating Deshaun Watson like any other QB, and nary a mention of two dozen sexual assault allegations as part of an already disgusting “redemption” arc they’ve spent all night trying to weave is really gross.

My daughter: “Tell me again: where is Barbie from the Sky?” Me: “Angel Reese.” “Yeah, Angel Reese. Where is she?” “We traded her to Atlanta.” “Why?” “No good reason.” *monster head-shaking and eye-rolling*

One really lucky aspect of my Cubs fandom is I don’t remember ever attending a game that we lost in extras. I can only remember the wins. Perhaps I blocked one out but perhaps I simply have been fortunate.

Easily “This is your brain on drugs” for I think three reasons: * The visual of the eggs * The ability to parody it with anything else that you wanted to declare as bad * The independent yet related “Any questions?” which you could also use in other situations

There are ways to both engage with the challenges facing readers and reading today while also rejecting this kind of triumphal doomerism; the booksellers I spoke with for this piece are exemplars of that. Maybe you'd like to read this today instead?

If you haven’t yet encountered the cover story for the August issue of The Atlantic, I have some bad news to share: “The End of Reading Is Here.” It’s an intentionally provocative headline for a sligh...

It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.

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.”
