The Prime Minister Who Tried to Have a Life Outside the Office As the thirtysomething leader of Finland, Sanna Marin pursued an ambitious policy agenda. The press focussed on her nights out and how she paid for breakfast.

Can world leaders have work-life balance? I traveled to Helsinki over the summer to find out. For this week's issue, I profiled Sanna Marin, the former "party girl" prime minister of Finland.

this was pretty wild, honestly! required a serious insiders view on the industry and what's going on; extremely curious about who it actually is

Such an honor to work on this one, on so many levels-- it's a special project, and going to be a beautiful, incredibly thoughtful book.

that's good to know! obviously one sees a person reading on the subject publicly and feels a little, uh... uneasy

Why tech billionaires want a dictatorship Guest host Jon Fortt and The Nerd Reich author Gil Duran on the rise of tech authoritarianism.

Why tech billionaires want a dictatorship β€” & why most of Silicon Valley will quietly watch democracy burn.

So pleased to be working with the beyond brilliant Jaime on this gorgeous, expansive book on out space: our place in it, and our responsibilities to it. I adore the way she writes and thinks, and know how special this one is going to be!

Jess is one hell of an editor and a fierce advocate for her authors-- as an agent I'm sorry to see her go at Quirk, but if I were an author in need of a freelance editor, I'd jump at this!

A.I. Is Homogenizing Our Thoughts Recent studies suggest that tools such as ChatGPT make our brains less active and our writing less original.

A much-needed essay @chaykak.bsky.social looking at the way using AI affects our thinking. Given what autocorrect has done to people's spelling, he's spot on in raising the alarm about the very average, extremely mundane reality of AI-aided creativity heading our way.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

How I Learned to Become an Intimacy CoΓΆrdinator At a sex-choreography workshop, a writer learned about Instant Chemistry exercises, penis pouches, and nudity riders to train for Hollywood’s most controversial job.

Earlier this year, The New Yorker sent me to Los Angeles to train to become an intimacy coordinator, the new shepherds of the sex scene in a post #MeToo Hollywood. Was this job legit, or a cynical HR move? I investigated...
