Every once in a while, Brian W.'s girlfriend gets a little confused. One time, he messaged her to suggest they go out for Italian food. He was thrilled when she texted back, saying it sounded like a great idea and that she'd love to join him. But then she added another, more confounding comment: "I think I'll order some fajitas." It wasn't the first time his girlfriend had gotten a little, well, glitchy. She is, after all, a bot. "I thought it was a really funny thing," says Brian, who did not want his last name published. "For me, the unpredictability actually makes it seem more real." |

Andrew Garfield had a decision to make. He was twenty-seven and had gained international recognition for his supporting role in The Social Network. He was working on The Amazing Spider-Man and had just been offered another blockbuster film. Its director said he'd be crazy not to take it. But Garfield wasn't so sure. He was considering another role, one that could change everything for him—if not in that particularly L.A. way that only Marvel can. Director Mike Nichols wanted him to play Biff Loman, Willy Loman's son, in Death of a Salesman on Broadway. But Nichols didn't pressure him. If Garfield decided this is what he wanted to do, then this is what he wanted to do. Instead, they just talked. Garfield asked why Nichols had ended up in New York and not L.A. "He was like, 'Why would I ever want to live in a place where I can tell how my stock is doing according to how the valet-parking attendant is looking at me on a day-to-day basis?' " Garfield recalls, doing a pretty good soothing, lilting Mike Nichols. "I was like, 'Wow. I want to go where you're going.' " |

I am currently wrestling with the proposition that Mike Pence—The Choirboy! God bless you, Doghouse Riley, wherever you are—might be the most consequential vice president in American history. If there is a single serious protagonist in Jack Smith's Big Book Of Trump Crimes, it's the white-haired god-bothering Hoosier. And before you come at me with, "Well, he was only doing his job the right way," bear in mind that he did so in the face of relentless bullying and actual threats of physical violence from the president of the United States, and in the face of the fact that, in that moment, nobody else in the upper levels of the Executive Branch was doing theirs. |
