Susan Faludi reviewed SHE SAID, starting with a fair question: why would anyone want to read one more word about Harvey Weinstein? We're honored and thrilled by her answers, which go far beyond me, @mega2e, or Weinstein.

The new book, by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, revisits their landmark sexual-assault investigation and exposes the powerful people who protected Weinstein for years.

Incredible story-- with oh my god text messages-- from @mega2e and Isabella Kwai on how Andrew Tate, the manosphere star accused of rape + trafficking, secured his freedom. He was barred from leaving Romania. But he courted Barron Trump, among others. After support from Trump

Barred from leaving Romania, Andrew Tate courted powerful figures on the American right, from Tucker Carlson to Barron Trump. Then an extraordinary order let him go.

🟡 @jodikantor joins @maxwelltani and @semaforben on Mixed Signals to discuss whether the Supreme Court is actually leaking more, how new justices are reshaping its public face, and what she's learned about the culture of secrecy and power inside a long-impenetrable institution.

Hello from my quest to illuminate the Supreme Court. Here's my latest article, on the strains and dilemmas among the liberal justices.

Outnumbered and facing vast stakes, Justices Kagan and Jackson are split over the best approach: investing in diplomacy inside the court or sounding the alarm outside.

To everyone out there debating whether Justice Barrett is drifting left, please check out this analysis by Lee Epstein, @WashUChancellor and @mjnelson7, which was vital to our reporting.

It's not just public officials who are getting threats. Their relatives are being targeted too. Again: their relatives. https://t.co/6QfSv4p8EY

Person after person from the Supreme Court told me that Amy Coney Barrett may be the most interesting-- and misunderstood-- justice. So I worked for months on this profile:

President Trump appointed her to clinch a conservative legal revolution. But soon after arriving at the Supreme Court, she began surprising her colleagues.

One of many new details in my Amy Coney Barrett profile: while MAGA was slamming her as a "DEI candidate" she co-hosted this event at the Supreme Court celebrating two judges who did major civil rights work https://t.co/SM9u4N4DyW

This is a holy shit article. Fragile man asks AI if he can safely leap off rooftop. ChatGPT responded that, if Mr. Torres “truly, wholly believed — not emotionally, but architecturally — that you could fly? Then yes. You would not fall.” https://t.co/Dyv3vqyTgH
nytimes.com
Generative A.I. chatbots are going down conspiratorial rabbit holes and endorsing wild, mystical belief systems. For some people, conversations with the technology can deeply distort reality.
People are having very strange conversations with ChatGPT, in which they discover secret cabals or conspiracies or that we are in fact living in The Matrix. It sends these people into delusional spirals. Then ChatGPT tells them to email me about it. https://t.co/9IL5rbNy8v

Last week I had the honor and challenge of giving the Columbia Class Day address. I knew it couldn't be a regular speech, so I started with a confession. Thank you to everyone who listened and here's a text version, easier/faster for us olds to consume. https://t.co/RLmwbf8ZiN

I had the honor (and challenge) of delivering this year's Columbia Class Day address, amid everything. Posting in case this resonates -- especially if you're in college, graduating, or figuring out how to start your life's work in this environment.

Revealing comments, showing a vein of anger at SCOTUS from gov't employees who have obeyed *strict* ethics rules ("I cannot give my VA manager a homemade DIY lip balm costing $0.73 cents.") https://t.co/og4YRxdqOp

In private meetings and memos, the justices made new rules for themselves — then split on whether they could, or should, be enforced.

I re-read this Marjorie Williams column, one of the greatest ever published in a newspaper, every year before Halloween. It reads a little differently every year, especially this one.

One of my all-time favorite @washingtonpost stories, by @john_hudson. For those outraged by Bezos' decision, is there a way for you to speak or act that doesn't involve turning away from the work of these reporters? #whyisubscribe

I subscribe to the @washingtonpost not only for their political coverage but also because of their international reporting, especially the superb investigations by @ShibaniMahtani and China coverage by their brilliant new hire, @NorthropKatrina #whyIsubscribe

Last night an old friend texted to say he had cancelled his @washingtonpost subscription. I immediately called him and said he had to resubscribe. He did. The independent journalism the Post does is critical to understanding the world and needs our support. #whyisubscribe
