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.

Oof. Well, if you need any of those little Allen keys, I’ve probably got about a hundred.

The fact that I will never be a drummer in a 1960's/70's British rock group like Keith Moon in The Who, throwing TV's out of hotel windows, crashing sports cars and driving Rolls Royce's into swimming pools etc is probably my only regret in life.

Please take a couple of minutes and listen to Dr. Jane.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

More of a ‘nads’ campaign. Basically, it’s all bollocks.

I usually ask “What’s my name?” I mean, if it’s really Telus then they would know my name, right? Boy, it makes them mad. They usually get really upset, swear very loudly and hang up. Can recommend 8/10.
