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.

Man… I get the game isn’t going great. But, it’s not a great look with Dodger fans fleeing the stadium. Not gonna beat the “fairweather fans” allegations that way. And I say that as a Dodger fan.

Urban also was reported to have thrown away his wallet because "it wouldn't close right because of all the cash in it." And abandoned his sports car in a field because it was "too hard to slow down at yellow lights."

Also, I kept laughing at Sean Penn’s weird and VERY real “angry lil guy” walk every time they featured it.

The climactic sequence in One Battle After Another is so cool and so unique. I saw it last night and I keep thinking about it. You should see it. It’s pretty great.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA
