NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵

“What is the hole in our culture that therapy fills? And what really happens when we try to re-create that relationship with a machine?”
@alex-mar.bsky.social going to sub-Freudian depths with this story about two people and their bots
www.wired.com/story/ai-the...
This is one of the best stories we've published in a long time. Come for the most thoughtful, in-depth exploration of AI as therapy you've ever read.
Stay because the writing and the storytelling are both sensational. @alex-mar.bsky.social did such tremendous work on this one.
Graphic for Books Are Magic event with Alex Mar for WITHOUT CONSENT on Wednesday 11/12 at 7 PM
On Wednesday, November 12 at 7 PM, I’ll be in conversation with @alex-mar.bsky.social at Books Are Magic — details and registration at withoutconsent.eventbrite.com (it will also be live-streamed):
Every day, millions confide in AI, exposing their most intimate problems and hoping it will fix them.
This is the story of two people—and their bots—on the very edge of therapy’s new frontier.
AI as therapist? By @alex-mar.bsky.social
Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.
Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.
So…BUNNY, my brother’s first film (as creative producer & co-writer), is in competition @sxsw.com in March! It’s kind of a lo-fi “After Hours” meets “Good Time”?
Keep an eye on newcomer Mo Stark as the lead. He blew my mind. (And no one paid me to say that…)
If you are anxiously posting about how Elon is hijacking our country and you haven’t called your members of Congress, your Governor, and Dem leadership, to urge them to action, then you too are not acting.
Gracias!
Thanks, Maud!
On St. Brigid's Day the new life could be entered By going through her girdle of straw rope The proper way for men was right leg first Then right arm and right shoulder, head, then left Shoulder, arm and leg. Women drew it down Over the body and stepped out of it The open they came into by these moves Stood opener, hoops came off the world They could feel the February air Still soft above their heads and imagine The limp rope fray and flare like wind-born gleanings Or an unhindered goldfinch over ploughland.

Friends, this is my 3rd book—and my debut novel.
Cannot wait to share this one.
Thrilled to be working with @reaganart.bsky.social at her new imprint at @grandcentralpub.bsky.social / @hachetteus.bsky.social.
Writing is thinking.
It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.
Doing well! And I hope you’re toasting tonight!
Felicidades!!
And at BJ’s?? Sounds like a perfect night
