What I find so fascinating about Ari Shapiro's AI question to David Simon -- for people who like to write, or write professionally, FIGURING OUT THIS STUFF IS THE FUN PART. It's almost the ONLY fun part.

Hey comics nerds: remember the Prince and Grant Morrison and Dan Mora’s first volume of KLAUS?

That’s Stephen Miller. It just hit me.

Portland should just Stay Weird. Do a bracelet workshop on the sidewalk, teach guitar, do elaborate dance routines, give out free pour over coffee, do free manicures in prideflag colors, do a massive jigsaw puzzle, sell baked goods to support a local homeless shelter, give away artisanal lemonade…

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

Enjoying the teen trauma/horror show WAYWARD. Mae Martin is doing a great job. But how old is Toni Collette (also excellent, duh) supposed to be? If this is “Now,” she should be about 68.

Last night in Sacramento, California, a life flight helicopter crashed onto Highway 50. Many of the citizens who stopped on the highway jumped out of their cars to lift the helicopter off a person. No deaths. But humanity at its best. This is who Americans are!!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Just heard someone say that if you aren't willing to get arrested or die at a protest you aren't serious about the cause and that's a) not true and b) not helpful

You don't need to have a death wish to fight for a better world, and anyone who says you do is throwing up a massive red flag

Screw you, MLB, for licensing your games on a case by case basis and not including them in your own streaming package. I had to buy 5 different services to catch all of the playoff games.

But switching the Mariners game to a channel that I don’t have midway through the fourth inning? Unreal.
