Drew Spencer witnesses an incident in which the subway is completely destroyed by a monster he has seen before... in his dreams. But no else seems to care or believe him. Will he have the energy to get to the bottom of this, working a 10-hour shift?

A man covered in post-its of varied colors and holding a closed umbrella with a startled expression. Behind him, a humongous monster crushes the subway train under its unfathomable weight.

Incredibly stupid. If you don't know how to transition from scene five to six, you just make a tree with the four most likely options. Then you pick the craziest one

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 am reminded about how the president of Mexico once had a "routine cardiac catheterization"

Anyone else find it suspicious that the clearly deteriorating Donald Trump is having a "routine yearly checkup" at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center *6 months after* his last "routine yearly checkup" at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center?

Trump to visit Walter Reed for "routine yearly checkup" 6 months after annual physical exam

President Trump's annual physical examination in April showed his vital statistics were all within normal limits.

And me, if you can believe this
At the wheel of the car
Closing my eyes and actually praying;
Not to God above but to you, saying:

Help me, girl; help me, girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal
And your long dark curls

Maritza Campos @maritzac.bsky.social · 1d

And all the drunks pouring out of the dance halls
Staring up at the smoke and the flames;
And the blind pencil seller waving his stick
Shouting for his dog that lay dead on the side of the road

It was a miracle I even got out of Longwood alive
This town full of men with big mouths and no guts;
I mean if you can just picture it
The whole third floor of the hotel gutted by the blast
And the street below showered in shards of broken glass

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

I wish all the comic strips in the newspapers were as good as this. We could usher in a new era of comic readers.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.
