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.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

I left a comment on their YT video 'After the supreme court ruling: what next for sex based rights?'. And they deleted my comment... I wonder why 🤔

Comment highlighting that sex is a spectrum and backed by science, with links to articles. Concludes by stating science should not be ideologically biased.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

You can't peacefully coexist with bigots

Bigots don't want to peacefully coexist

Bigots want to enhance their status & self-esteem by harming others

If they can't openly get their fix, they'll seek sly ways of harming others & play it in the victims' face

This playbook is ancient, folks

I like Bluesky & I don't want to migrate to another site but the owners seem to have a pattern of taking minority users for granted.

Unless leadership has a word with itself & corrects course, bigots will keep manufacturing conflict for attention+💰 & Bluesky will eventually become diet Xitter

15 UK banks ordered to snoop on state pensioners and other benefit claimants under DWP crackdown.

No court order needed. No right of appeal.

Banks will pass cost to other customers.

Those accused of fraud won't get legal advice. The making of another Post Office type scandal.

Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights.

Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs.

Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights.

Leaving the ECHR won’t fix illegal migration

Half-baked tales of rulings turning on chicken nuggets are no basis for cutting Britain adrift

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

If you believe a pensioner saying 'Free Palestine' is a threat on your life, you are either lying or are delusional. We shouldn't just accommodate this bullshit anymore.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

From the Film Is Fabulous Facebook page:

Facebook comment from Film is Fabulous to Justyn Adderley: "Thanks. As mentioned by Sue Malden at our RECOVERED event in May, we are aware of several missing episodes of Doctor Who (Sue stated one of two, but there are more than this) in private film collections in the U.K. We are liaising with the individuals about cataloguing and preserving their entire collection, including the missing Doctor Who episodes, and ensuring that copies are returned to the BBC. We expect to make a detailed announcement shortly."
