I asked ChatGPT5 to read my manuscript and tell me what the author comps for the book might be. It's been reading for 48 hours now, and it's only half way through the novel. So much for the warp-speed productivity of AI. Of course it could be my writing!

I did about as well on the @PlanetMoney Summer School political economy quiz as I did in my university degree. Take the quiz here: npr.org/g-s1-85342 #PMSummerSchool

@RestPoliticsUS @KattyKay_ @Scaramucci I teach journalism students and mentor reporters, many of whom are struggling with the shifts in ethics in or business. I'd love to know where @KattyKay_ sits on the debate about journalists reading ads on their podcasts, and whether that compromises their journalistic integrity.

I'm not a huge Go Fund Me person, and I'm aware that there are plenty of scams out there, but I can personally vouch for this man, and attest to his courage and selflessness on the day the Palisades fire started. He could use a little help. Please share. gofundme.com/f/support-dare…

I'm happy to explain why that sweater is $500. 🧵
