Finding out Diane Keaton died from your gay high school boyfriend's Instagram post is a canon event, I think we can all agree.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

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.

I know it doesn't matter to them at all but it's malpractice for CNN to run a 30+ year old photo next to this story.

The tren de aragua stuff reminds me of when I worked in schools and there would always be someone sending out all-staff emails about a new threat of candy with hard drugs in it (did not exist).

Just to note, DHS even under the Biden admin put out intelligence reports claiming these sorts of things. Remember when Tren de Aragua had the "green light" to start killing cops?
