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...

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.

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.

Currently looking at a job: “The Entertainment Writer is expected to pitch and write 5 - 7 articles per day.” Pays 65-70K annually. Posting here without further comment.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Sad news. Mary Beth Hurt was such an interesting, spiky actress--it was always a pleasurable jolt when she showed up on screen. I would recommend Interiors, Chilly Scenes of Winter, or The World According to Garp as starting points. variety.com/2026/film/ne...
Mary Beth Hurt, Who Starred in ‘The World According to Garp,’ Dies at 79
Mary Beth Hurt, who starred in films including 'The World According to Garp' and was married to director Paul Schrader, has died.

I'm fine with Kristen, but I miss Padma--I think that in later seasons, she got tougher and more idiosyncratic, and I really enjoyed that. Anyway, I'm mostly liking the new show, +/- the Grand Central Terminal departures board and the excitingly spontaneous chats about the virtues of Dawn PowerWash.

I was just looking for something on Google and it said "People Also Search for Brenda Vaccaro." I don't know if I will ever write a novel, but if I do, dibs on this title.
