AI for targeting Palestinians is quite alright by David Simon, however.

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.

It's an even longer con in this case considering that this column is in the Post. "What to do to ACTUALLY get a good deal"

It was always gonna wind up here. It was always gonna end up being an anti-circumcision thing

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

You need to stop talking to that person. And it's Paul Westerberg.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

All the “let’s just concede trans stuff” Democrats can get well and truly bent

Almost every person who answered The News' survey said they'd had more trouble sleeping and felt less safe in public spaces since November. Over two-thirds said they'd been thinking more about suicide.

“Antifa isn’t an organization” is one of those things that’s accurate but doesn’t matter because a loose network of anti fascist orgs looks like a conglomerate to most people anyway. The American mind can’t comprehend anything besides a well-funded top-down non-profit.
