I really hate the way Trump treats people. He is mean, cruel, and vindictive. Why would anyone like him as a person? Why would people even vote for him?

A new blog post to honour the decision I made this morning to leave my job. (Okay, it was more of a therapy journal for me to help process my emotions, but the honour thing sounds so much better!)

A Leap of Faith

I quit my job this morning. (Deep sigh. Breathing through the fear. Reframing. Focusing on the positive.)I quit my job this morning because my body has been screaming for me to stop doing what I’ve be...

David Simon has worked incredibly hard and dreamed big dreams to get where he is to write shows like The Wire. WHY IN GOD'S NAME would he work and fight for that only to give it up to a machine that doesn't even do it well?

Juno Rylee Schultz @junoryleejournalism.com · 2d

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

ALT TEXT: A black and white Peanuts Sunday comic strip shows Snoopy imagining himself as a World War I fighter pilot, flying his doghouse and battling the Red Baron. Linus surprises him, and it ends with Snoopy considering a commercial airline job instead.

A photograph of Smeaton's Tower in Plymouth, silhouetted against a golden sunset. The sun’s rays burst through the horizon, casting long shadows across the grassy hill. The sky is streaked with wispy clouds, while the distant harbour and cityscape add depth to the scene.

Looking forward to Mariners-Blue Jays ALCS. Both teams came in to existence in 1977 if I remember correctly.
