Why aren’t you deleting that clearly AI video of the reporter being detained?

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 bet he stops touring soon. There's no way he can even hear his own archaic rulings over all the screaming.

California! Vote YES on 50, and tell Trump to fuck off with his vote rigging schemes!

My ballot for prop 50 filled out with a “yes” vote

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

Netflix Stock Up As Elon Musk's Anti-Trans Boycott Fails To Materialize

Last week, conservatives tried to cancel Netflix to force the carrier to remove transgender characters.

Fellow Californians! Vote Yes on Prop 50!

50 will redraw our congressional districts to counter Trump's efforts to rig the 2026 election through gerrymandering in Texas.

FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE! FUCK TRUMP!

Fair elections. Made in California. Vote Yes on prop 50

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Congrats! You deserve it. Good luck finding material to satirize though.

Even hearing “Will The Wolf Survive” as a dopey teenager, when lyrics meant next to nothing to me, this song felt haunted and important. I came for the guitar, stayed for everything else.

Hey, let’s all stop posting gross AI slop of dead celebrities - or of anyone - here on Bluesky. Even if you’re dunking on it, it’s still a bummer to see.
