A woman told me today that social media ruined her marriage as if it were some kind of tangible being she’d caught in bed with her husband.

The teen has suggested that there’s little difference between sitting in a café watching people walk by and looking at people’s social media accounts. Walking down the street and posting publicly online are both social feeds.

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.

“Do you know how to read?”
“No. It is one of the black arts.”
He nodded. “But a useful one,” he said.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free, that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Looks like a four-sided to triangle to me! I don’t see the problem.

The more I tell myself luck isn’t a thing, the more in control I feel.

And if I’m developing a copy the original is the backup. Thank you. That’s cleared that up for me.

Which is the backup? The original or the copy?
