Jenna would make Liz write jokes for her, Liz would write a bunch of feminist material because she’s mad at Jenna and then try to pull it at the last minute because she’s worried for Jenna’s safety. Jenna would ham it up so hard that the Saudis would love it as parody of shrill American women

tracy refuses to commit to any of the rules about what comedians can’t say at the festival so they send jenna instead, who is immediately removed from the stage because the first words of her act are ‘my vagina is’

Sometimes you meet a five-year-old and know right away “This kid is something special, he’s gonna make the world so much worse”

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.

Last month, we made a pilgrimage to the new DARK UNIVERSE theme park land at Epic Universe Orlando. Our verdict? It rocks — but in a way that might not be sustainable.

Is the Dark Universe theme park too good to last?

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I would be fine with the US just becoming two countries if each country agreed to pay all moving expenses for anyone who wanted to emigrate to the other. Y’all don’t like Mexicans and trans people. We don’t like bigots and fascists. Seems like an opportunity to help each other out
