LOOK AT HER IN THAT DRESS At 0:07, she walks away from the car and the whole look comes into view. The dress catches your eye first; the casual way she picks up her bag and heads inside makes it feel like a real night out. Now for the part you might not have guessed: she’s an AI character. And characters like this aren’t limited to videos anymore. You can already meet AI companions and actually talk to them. I explain how it works in the guide below.

Fox interviews a guy who claims he went to heaven for 18 days. He can report that Jesus is not only male but about 5’11 or 6 feet tall and really masculine. “Talk about testosterone. Like a mustang.” It’s over for the Talarico campaign.

1. THREAD. Bolton has a lot to say about Trump and N Korea in his book. It hasn’t all been reported in the book coverage. A few highlights from his “Singapore Sling” chapter follow...

Robert Jeffress says “you can’t be saved by being a Jew,“ and “Mormonism is a heresy from the pit of hell.” He’s said the same about Islam. Such a religious bigot should not be giving the prayer that opens the United States Embassy in Jerusalem.

ICYMI: Senior Fellow Bob Manning (@RAMEAP) discusses the US trade delegation led by @stevenmnuchin1 that visited China last week buff.ly/2HVOaWo
“Bolton’s belief in the U.S. power to make the world behave and eat its broccoli reflects what has been called “narcissistic policy disorder”—the belief that whatever happens in the world happens because of something the United States did or did not do... washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

I'll add, there's one screamingly obvious step that the Trump admin can & should take to signal support for Iranians, irrespective of what happens w/these protests: lift the travel ban. Now even more than ever, banning Iranians from the US is unjustified, unnecessary, an affront.

Japan has lots to answer for but this is the third time (1965; 1998; 2015) Tokyo and Seoul struck a final irrevocable end-of-history deal, only for it to fall apart. China will be thrilled. xitter.cf/PaulBlustein/status/94…
So will #Japan be smart, take the high ground, express regret that #Korea seems incapable of accepting its apologies, and stop throwing fits about #comfortwomen statues? Alas, the counterproductive fit-throwing will probably continue. reuters.com/article/us-south…

Shipping industry supports #JonesAct b/c it's protectionist. #PuertoRico deserves better than policy decisions driven by special interests.

There's no moral equivalency between racists & Americans standing up to defy hate& bigotry. The President of the United States should say so
