@drewhinshaw and I sat down for an extended interview on @CBS about our new book, SWAP. @MajorCBS kindly said: “Every page works. This reads like a thriller reads like a novel but it is journalistic reportorial throughout.” cbsnews.com/video/extended…
'Seascape at Port-en-Bessin, Normandy.' (1888) @TheCourtauld has announced the first ever exhibition dedicated to the seascapes of Georges Seurat in February next year, the first major exhibition devoted to Seurat in the UK in almost 30 years.
A voice of erudition and measured judgement, ever eager to challenge his interlocutors, with a mellowness now seldom heard. What always shone through was his deep fondness for poetry, literature, and the arts in general - and, most of all, for the English language.

Zuck has the most powerful lever in the history of the world to do good, to change humanity for the better. But his main goal is personal empire building regardless of the externalities. No other single business has had this possibility. It’s unique in history. What a shame.
I finally used Claude long enough in one context window that it got testy and pushed back on the things I was asking for. What an odd phenomenon. Super friendly for 100s of questions,then gradually started to turn because I didn't want to do what it suggested. Somewhat unsettling

AI is very fun and useful. But how are people supposed to know what's real when they don't know the subject matter? I get this kind of thing all the time. I'm paying for the advanced model btw.
"I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag." — Molly Ivins
Do people realize that the president has essentially given the green light to every bad actor out there to not pay contractors and see what they can get away with? It's one of the secondary effects of electing someone with seemingly no morals and who values money over everything.
Interesting data that supports the trends we've been feeling intuitively the last couple of years
I worry deeply for children now who are forming many of their core memories a further layer deep from reality/“the authentic,” by experiencing so many things purely on the screen, just on YouTube/video games/social media etc
The R party supporting the partial takeover of private businesses or their revenues has to be one of the worst looks in the history of American politics
companies like Facebook record every imaginable interaction their users have with the platform. they log each of your clicks and taps. they keep track of how long your gaze lingered on a post, whether you were on the same WiFi as that woman who might be your friend, which…

The Anxious Generation is the #1 NYT Bestseller again this week. (That's the 11th time, in its 73 weeks on the list.) If you have not yet read it, may I suggest the audiobook? The voice actor Sean Pratt is extraordinary. nytimes.com/books/best-sel…
Being good at making a lot of money does not mean you're good at knowing what's good for humanity, what policies we should enact, or how to structure a country's economy. In fact, it's more likely to be the opposite. A dangerous fallacy.
Maybe the most baller story of a writer is how Cormac McCarthy bought an Olivetti typewriter for $50 in a pawn shop in 1963, used it to write a bunch of novels that sold millions of copies, auctioned it for $254,500 in 2009, then immediately got an identical one for less than $20
