The new season of The Diplomat is a massive step up from the previous two seasons, but what's truly remarkable about it is that it has figured out how to write about Trump - and particularly Trump's foreign policy - without the sideshow of creating a Trump-like character.

Goodbye to one of my favorite people and collaborators. I love you like a brother, Josh Cassara. See you at the Green Lagoon. I’ve posted a more elaborate goodbye on IG and FB…

would you like to start a conversation with the customer service chatbot. would you like to use the doctor’s self-service phone system. do you reject the warm touch of a lover. do you long for the cold embrace of steel. will you replace your soul with hydraulic fluid

I’m reading Cannery Row. Jesus Christ is it amazing. So great to live in a world where I can be almost 50, have been an avid reader my whole life & have barely scratched the surface of the surface of spectacular books out there.

What the fuck is it good for? Im asking sincerely. Medical people say its shit for diagnosing, its utter garbage for creative fields, it cannot teach and hallucinates false answers, programmers have to fix its code half the time, businesses find it doesn't help productivity and it causes psychosis.
