As someone who really doesn’t go to the movies that much anymore, I remember seeing the preview to this before our screening of The Odyssey and thinking “wow that looks terrible, were the Coen brothers not available to make the actual movie it seems this wants to be?”

The amount of gender in these things is off the charts. They’re dude wipes (boy) but pumpkin spice (girl) but it’s actually dumpkin spice (???). They’re XL (boy) but plant-sourced (girl).

This story is great but man I am laughing at how much this guy looks like Michael McDonald - did any other genes even make it in? If you told me that he’d been the result of asexual reproduction by Michael McDonald I’d believe you

A guy who looks basically 1:1 like Michael McDonald who recently found out Michael McDonald is his biological father

Rep. LaMonica McIver announced the birth of her second child, a girl. McIver, 40, is only the second Black woman to give birth while serving in Congress, and the first in more than 50 years. bit.ly/4hVgRlI

A person is lying in a hospital bed, holding a newborn wrapped in a patterned blanket. The text reads: "Rep. LaMonica McIver gives birth to second child. She is only the second Black woman to give birth while serving in Congress, and the first in more than 50 years."

Former Rep. Yvonne Brathwaite Burke is smiling and holding a newborn, with another person seated beside them. Multiple microphones are positioned in front, suggesting a press event. Text below reads: "Former Rep. Yvonne Brathwaite Burke became the first sitting member of Congress to give birth in 1973, and was also the first Black congresswoman to have a child in office."

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

The princess took an earring off and held it out. The raven looked at it. "Whatever for?" "You are wise and clever. Many princesses have dragons, but none has a raven friend." The raven picked up the earring. "Say no more." "Friends?" she asked when it returned the next day. "Forevermore."

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

In this vein, hope you don't mind me pointing you to a recent piece of mine, and some very wise booksellers (in this case, @joshthelibromancer.bsky.social): defector.com/what-do-book...

Screenshot of text that reads:

"Cook identified a couple of chief causes behind the reading crisis we face: “The Religious Right’s decades-long attack on public education that has long used book bans and challenges as a primary tactic that now has major support at every level of our government, and an economy that makes the production and distribution of books incredibly difficult by funneling all of the money away from writers and readers to the ownership class.” Cook said that this “now includes the outright theft of copyrighted material to train computer programs intended to put writers out of work. If you aren’t acknowledging those systemic attacks on literary culture, it’s hard for me to muster any enthusiasm for your arguments about apps and young people.” Book bans, decisions made by profit-driven publishers, attacks on public education, defunding of public libraries, the greed at the heart of our economy—rarely do these threats to reading get mentioned in the flourishing genre of essays about the death of literacy."

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.”
