So much fun riding around St Paul tonight, dumb dangerous concrete bollards back blocking the Shepard bike path not withstanding.

Thanks to @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social for bringing the party!

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.

Yes absolutely, although mine would see it as an anti-endorsement (vetaw).

Cowards. I might have even paid full price for a new game if I got to parkour around America hunting down klan grand wizards or whatever

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

We do, deserve better. That’s why I’m so glad @dewayneforminneapolis.com is running for Mayor.

DeWayne Davis @dewayneforminneapolis.com · 2d

We deserve a mayor who will care for every neighborhood across Minneapolis. Our neighbors are invested deeply in their communities and they know what they need to thrive. We need leadership who is as committed to their success as they are.

Counterpoint, no need to acknowledge actual garbage.

David Brauer @dbrauer.net · 2d

Has Mayor Frey issued a response to the Kupchella doc or is he just silently nodding in assent that his political fortunes are somore how helped by trashing the city he governs?

Hell yeah, I need to do the same asap. I want to just cabin weekend and unplug completely.
