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 really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Hunter Harris summed it up perfectly

Stop me if you've heard this one before: Paul Thomas Anderson is so damn good at making movies. I levitated out of my body at One Battle After Another's POV: Road ... I had not felt that way since Challengers' POV: Tennis ball. Now I see why the trailers were ... that way. How do you describe a movie that has so much swagger? It is ambitiously about desire, grief, white supremacists, phones not being charged, bureaucracy, the cruelty of the immigration system, RFK Jr., little buns, smoking too much pot, rebellion, freedom, angst, and Junglepussy saying "My name is Junglepussy!" (I need cameras up on Ari Aster: Eddington compares to One Battle After Another like a child's race car bed compares to Lewis Hamilton behind the wheel. I'd be embarrassed.)

I shouldn’t have to see D*ve P*rtnoy on my television screen. It’s that simple.

Remembering when a student heard me say, "Who cares? In 100 years we'll all be dead" and tried to repeat the expression later, but instead said, "You will die in one hundred years"

am i the only person who cares about housing prices? is this like a niche political interest or something?

Scott Greer tweets: "Some may say it's frivolous to care about Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime entertainment, but it matters for three reasons.

1) The Super Bowl is America's premier culture event. It reflects where mainstream culture is.

2) It shows the NFL willing to broadcast a middle finger to Red America in the form of an anti-Trump, anti-ICE, Spanish-only singer

3) An entire halftime show in Spanish is the clearest sign of America's Latin Americanization and an affront to our traditional culture."
