Man, I thought “Ozymandias is the Antichrist” was the dumbest thing I’d read in a long time, but then he goes and says Monkey D Luffy is a Christ figure. These people are all insane.

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.

I’ve also heard stories of the UPS guy showing up and demanding a couple hundred dollars before he can give you your $50 package, and of FedEx sending people bills after the fact. That sounds like your problem, FedEx.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Matthew Wasserbach, brokerage manager of Express Customs Clearance, said of the UPS backlog. “It’s totally unprecedented.”

UPS is 'disposing of' U.S.-bound packages over customs paperwork problems

Shifting Trump tariffs have created a nightmare for UPS, as thousands of packages from overseas pile up at its hubs while they await customs clearance.

See, I feel like the home country of the Nobel Peace Prize being frightened of what a man might do to them if he doesn’t win should be disqualifying right there, but what do I know?

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 3d

“The Nobel Committee is an independent body and the Norwegian government has no involvement in determining the prizes. But I’m not sure Trump knows that. We have to be prepared for anything from him.”

That they have to say this...

Norway braces for Trump’s reaction if he does not win Nobel peace prize

US president may impose tariffs, demand higher Nato contributions or even declare Norway an enemy, analyst says

"THEY WERE EVENTUALLY LET GO AFTER SHOWING THIER DOCUMENTS". In other words, they were pulled out of their cars for looking "Mexican".

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

Complying in advance. They’re all cowards and/or in fear of the illegal merger deals they want Twitler’s blessing on.

They needed an hour to get their story straight once they figured out one moron had his body cam on. It seems they should have taken longer.

To be fair, genetics would suggest a high likelihood that they’re batshit insane, and that can make it hard to hold a job.

And oh my god, the knowledge I gained about audio engineering from MySpace groups. I might as well have gone through an actual trade school program, but it was free and I had waaaay more experts at my disposal. FB never had anything remotely close.

Frank Humungus @frankhumungus.bsky.social · 4d

It was tremendously useful when I was in bands years ago. Primarily Facebook, but they’re broken just about everything that used to be useful since then, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

She’s big mad because her kids’ insurance premiums are about to double. As with anything with conservatives, she can only understand the problem when it impacts her/someone she cares about directly.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
