"I can help with carpooling" is my new go-to

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 3(source)

I agree, but who are we to contradict?

What are you talking about? There's nothing wrong with AI fact-checking!

According to AI, I am dead and my Mike Nichols book was published posthumously. Silver lining, I guess, is that I also wrote novels.

When I told him about The New Yorker's very human fact-checking process, he crowed that "a lot of that is going to go away." To which I said, NO, AI means we need MORE fact-checking, because AI has flooded the web with bullshit. It certainly can't be trusted to fact-check itself, or anything. /

I think the novel's take on money culture could land very well if handled smartly, and other elements...need rethinking, but I think it can be done.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 2(source)

I kind of love the news that we're getting streaming series of both The Corrections and Bonfire of the Vanities. Both novels present (different) extreme adaptation challenges, but this has been a miserably risk-averse period for streamers, and I'm for anything that fights that.

Pam Bondi right now.

Glenn Close in Dangerous Liaisons, alone, weeping, and wiping off her elaborate makeup after a mortifying public humiliation.

If you've read my Nichols biography and want to see a Mike-as-Miranda moment, I refer to the section about Mike's reaction to an actor who didn't bother to learn his lines during auditions for HBO's adaptation of Angels in America.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 2(source)

In which Meryl Streep confirms that when you are seeing Miranda Priestly, you are seeing her version of her longtime collaborator Mike Nichols (specifically the side of him that Tony used to call "Scary Mike"). Mike knew, and was delighted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eryb...

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 2(source)

A very good thread about journalists and AI, much of which also applies to writers of nonfiction books. We are being told, with increasing frequency and stridency, that we "just don't get" how AI can help us, by people who are manifestly not interested in helping us. Know your enemy. Hold the line.

This is all reminding me of a conversation I had recently with an old friend who works in tech and extremely gung-ho about AI. When I told him about my process for writing a long New Yorker piece, he was absolutely sure that AI could make it more "efficient." / www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 2(source)

This is where two of the big forces in journalism, tech "innovators" and money dildos, combine to degrade what you do and make you feel that it's not valuable. If you need the job, absolutely go for it and take their $$, but remember that you're better than the role you're being told to play.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 2(source)

This sounds like one of those jobs where your function is to be a tube that sucks things off of various sites you find on the screen on your left, passes them briefly through your keyboard, and splurts them on to the screen on your right.

I'm not digging up the "worst person you know just made a good point" pic but...this is Bret Stephens on the White House ballroom. And it's a solid point.

"Bad taste and autocratic instincts tend to go together for a reason, because the purpose of autocratic design is to overawe rather than intrigue or delight; to erase beauty, which elicits a sense of humanity and reverence, with largeness, which elicits fear."

Also, the first night of Passover is weird timing for a Presidential address.

Rather than give a primetime address at 8 p.m., Trump has decided to address the nation at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday. That means CBS and Fox will have to pause SURVIVOR and the season finale of MASKED SINGER (respectively) in the middle of their episodes. It's pure chaos-- and disrespect for nets.

I was working all day and only saw the Kristi Noem story an hour ago. I don't understand why my entire feed isn't confetti cannons right now. For heaven's sake, take joy where you can find it!

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMar 31(source)

I want to put this as plainly as possible: This site has way too many self-righteous, underinformed assholes looking to pick a fight. We need fewer of them and more people with Mark's expertise.

FYI: I am going to stop summarizing Supreme Court decisions on here as they come down. One comment has been plucked out of context of all my reporting, misread, and used as the basis of a mean-spirited pile-on. I am not going to subject myself to this. If this was your goal, then congratulations.

As someone who went through conversion talk therapy I'd kindly like to show Mark to the nearest cliff's edge

let's make this bitch so disappointed he leaves the site. fuck him

Mark out here thinks that my parents abusing, raping, and killing me in the process of "their talking" is fine because freeze peach or some liberal shit

Mark, "really abuse" is gonna be all your known for now. Your epitaph.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMar 31(source)

I am working on a book right now and getting close to its finish line (!), and it is the first time I have ever been tempted to include in an afterword the information that a human wrote all of what you just read. I'm not going to. I refuse to give in to the idea that it needs to be said.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMar 31(source)

It's so disheartening to me that a writer would do this. If you don't want to write, don't be a writer! Seriously. There are many other options.

Plagiarism by AI is still plagiarism. Maybe even worse because you didn't even take the time to do your own plagiarizing?

Wow, I admit I was not prepared to see him trailing Dianne Feinstein.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMar 30(source)

An amazing maverick who will be unbeatable in 2028 if he can just get past the small problem that nobody likes him. Feels like the Dem race is going to be the "We need to be more like Republicans" contingent tearing each other's entrails out, and a nice wide lane for someone who's actually decent.

Democrats are keeping a close eye on how a political heavyweight who branded his own party “weak and woke” will shape the race.
