His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

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.

Lol @peoplemag.bsky.social framing it that he "lost" it. That's like saying I lost to Best Screenplay to Sean Baker with an unproduced script that made the top 1% on (now dead) Coverfly. At the end of the day, I'm still in User Experience, and he's still an authoritarian doing war crimes.

If SNL doesn't have a sketch with Amy Poehler teaching a Chicago Improv class half-full of ICE Agents, what even is the point of the show anymore?

Also, I can whip that up in an afternoon if y'all need that for air.

donald trump is a fascistic leader who has surrounded himself with people who are explicitely pro-fascistic that want to end democracy as we know it and punish anyone who dissents. pretending otherwise leads me to believe you agree with them doing this

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

From GeminiAI: The term "Asiago cheese craze" is not a widely recognized historical event but likely refers to the cheese's surge in popularity and widespread availability in the United States during the late 1990s, where it became a staple in baked goods and bagels.

Seeing all these companies promoting their new "protein" options for products just reminds me of the days when everyone was adding asiago to everything.

Honestly, everything in this country started going downhill when the asiago cheese craze ended.
