damn who could have foreseen that giving every desperate redneck in america a bonus, a mask, and carte blanche to hassle city dwellers could have negative consequences

Is an "In between drafts" tote bag performative?

Maybe. You should still get one.

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.

There are some truly dour and dull people who get by on being well-dressed and quiet.

I think we're too easy on people who never make other people laugh.

There’s a specific strain of nervous person who feels the need to make a “band name” joke whenever anyone strings two or three interesting words together and I hope they can know peace someday.

there are a couple of blocks downtown (near pioneer square) that are probably responsible for this imaginary perception, but like... come on. the rest of the city is upscale regional vietnamese restaurants with named cocktails.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."
