Fake books are the least of our worries.... In an acid bath of ease, AI has dissolved the exercises used to teach middle and high school students to read closely and write effectively. s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?tra...

You know that feeling when a book is over 550 pages? Well... Just started book "Free Food for Millionaires" by Min Jin Lee - I AM HOOKED. The writing - chef level - each sentence seasoned perfectly with the zest of cultural friction and bold flavor of family. #booksky 💙📚@minjinlee.bsky.social

This week on VIBE CHECK, a conversation with Senator Elizabeth Warren. In particular, as one of her constituents, I asked what would she say to people here outraged and terrified about ICE kidnappings in Somerville and people being detained/deported at Logan.

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

We, too, received an email from the NEA on Friday. Like so many others, our award for 2025 was terminated. So to all of you who donate or subscribe, or have recently bought an issue or a tote or a T-shirt, thank you. In the times ahead, we will no doubt be needing each other more than ever.
