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 could not be more grateful to be able to have marked this anniversary as a joyful one instead of a mournful one. She is still here and that is the greatest gift. If you do not know CPR, please consider getting certified. You could save a life.

One year ago today, a coworker of mine in her 40s suffered sudden cardiac arrest. Thanks to another coworker (and numerous first responders) who knew CPR, she was resuscitated a total of 4 times. The 4th time stuck and today we spent the day laughing and hugging and dressing up as death together.

Just more powerful and tougher than the Kansas City Chiefs and that has got to be tough to swallow when you're doing your racist chop chant in the bathroom mirror :(

Why do people insist on walking in the street when a perfectly good sidewalk is right there

He is a rescue. We don't know when his actual birthday is, we just know his approximate age when he was picked up and today is the anniversary of his initial shots and neuter so we call it his birthday

Today is the day we celebrate my darling Cheeks being born. If you know me offline and have heard his whole story, you know that he is a very special cat. Love this sweet boy with all my heart. Happy 6th birthday, Mr. Baby!
