There was a point, back in the early noughts, where he had a blog. He did not disable comments. Now THEY were magic.

The Guardian printing their annual "whatever happened to our Best 60 youth players from years ago" article always make interesting reading. It puts in perspective all the internet scouts insisting Player X from League Y is perfect for us.

Put him in a fake Stone Island jacket and that haircut would have him in the middle of them mosh at an oasis reunion gig.

This is...well, just watch it. Right to the end. The credits and everything.

Welp, here it is: maybe the funniest thing we've ever done, in its entirety.

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.

Same. And suspect there's some absolute bangers I've missed. True Detective for example.

In a sign I've had too much coffee: I've just said "don't worry I'll adlib it and it'll be splendid" about a meeting I'm due to chair. Anyone who knows me IRL will know this is likely to be untrue.

Hahaha, beautiful. Maron not needing to tiptoe to ensure he can get guests is an absolute fucking joy.

I can't tell if the warm glow reading about shit like this and Grimes realising the austerity he cheered on is what's fucking the country here is schadenfreude or from the world being on fire as it's all that bit too late. Von is the one Maron used as an example of bro comedy, right?
