Say what you want about President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho but at least he got the smartest guy *in the world* in his Cabinet

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.

This one did a number on me. Especially at the end.

A ★★★★½ review of Paris, Texas (1984)

How does one come to terms with their true nature? The darkest bits that we try to hide from everyone, including ourselves? For Travis (Harry Dean Stanton) it means disappearing into the desert for 4 ...

TFW you’ve disassociated so hard you’re at the stop sign waiting for it to turn green

On a scale from "1" to "Cruis'n Blast Car Seat" how are you mentally?

One of those motherfuckers they brought to the podium said looking at kids with autism is “hard to watch”

That’s all they care about. They don’t want to be confronted with it in society.

We were denied IHSS benefits recently. There’s no income waivers to help us qualify for food assistance like there is for Medi-Cal. The government *can* help you but it’ll be their last fucking resort.

As a parent of two kids with autism, this is all very exhausting. How are we *helping* families? Oh, what’s that? $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid?

I did like Holly. Is the Mr. Mercedes series her first appearance or did they follow The Outsider?

I did enjoy The Outsider show so I’d love to see how they stack up.

Doctor Sleep was a contender when I was fresh off The Shining but I decided for a change of pace. I’ll definitely circle back to it though.

I think that’s what I’ll do. It was early days of the pandemic and it hit too close to home at the time.

I’m a late bloomer Stephen King reader. I’ve read The Shining, It, Dark Tower 1, Salem’s Lot and I read The Green Mile a long time ago. I started The Stand during COVID but couldn’t continue as it freaked me out

Do I pick back up with The Stand, keep going with The Dark Tower or something else?

Pared down my online presence in effort to shrink my world a bit to manage stress. Currently this is the only home I have to keep up with my bullshit, so aren’t you the lucky ones.

"Wow. So...yeah. shit's pretty fucked up."
"Yeah."
"So like, how are you sober?"
"I'm not."
"Oh. Okay. Yeah, makes sense."

"But then, how are you sane?"
"...I'm not."
"Oh. Sure. Yeah. Okay. Makes sense."
