Summary
Desi Lydic reports on the latest updates from Trump’s criminal trial, which has turned into a who’s-who of wannabe vice presidents and political ass-kissers. Also, an art installation connecting New York and Dublin turns into utter chaos and ChatGPT debuts a flirty new voice to answer users that might just have Ronny Chieng and Josh Johnson sold on AI. Plus, Desi takes a look at how New York City Mayor, Eric Adams, became the clean-living, hard-partying, deep-thinking man he is today in The Daily Showography of Eric Adams: Philosopher King of New York. And filmmaker, writer, actor, and artist Miranda July shares how her new novel, “All Fours,” is a coming-of-age story for any woman in her 40s who has “secret desires and anxieties about those desires, and is wondering what’s going on with her body and her marriage, and just her whole self.” She discusses how many of the topics covered in the novel, like perimenopause, traumatic childbirth, and female sexual freedom, often go undiscussed, and she explains the difference between a “driver” and a “parker.”
