The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.
Screenshot of David Simon interview 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.

For better or worse, the only cure for depression/frustration over your own writing is...more writing.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

The album that changed my brain. I was fourteen when I first heard The Wait. Still holds up forty-five years later. A classic.

You think they're just going to stop with us? They always need new enemies. Oh, you voted for Trump? Too bad, the neighbor that hates you turned you in as an anti-capitalist for complaining about the company you work for. Off to the "wellness camp" with you.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

I think it's a current bug, I'm seeing 3-day-old posts in a few of my feeds. I sent a bug ticket in, but I dunno if they fixed it yet.

State police are helping ICE to brutalize protestors. Order them to stand against fascism with the people of Illinois, or you will withhold their pay. You hold the purse strings Governor, don't just react and post platitudes, be bold. Action, now.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

Why don't you take a page from his book and withhold the salaries of any state police helping ICE to brutalize your citizens? Do something bold to help the people of Illinois?
