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.

Always chokes me up at the end. Such a tragic waste.

A photo from my POV holding a Buddy Holly Story programme in the second row of my local theatre with the curtain down.

They skipped us on the last tour but they're back and so am I 💖👓

Awww, Mark and Amy got married! It's so nice seeing a post from him that doesn't involve a hospital selfie! 😅

If I could just sleep for the rest of the train ride, that would be perfect.

120+ entries for Suptober in just 3 days! 😱 I was not expecting so many people to take part, I'm so happy! 💖

Crane fly season 😭 October, my beloved, why do you harbour so many atrocities?

Oh good, that I can cope with lol.

I noticed The Monkey is on Prime now so I'm gonna get on that. I thought about seeing it at the cinema but maybe a bit too gory for me on the big screen lol.

Not the BBC News having a whole segment pushing Hatry Potter and making a point to say how much it makes the UK. Like, fuck off?

🎵 It's the most wonderful time of the year 🎵

Sounds grim 🫂🫂

A photo of me standing in front of an ice cream shop with a gigantic vanilla ice cream with Flake.

Neglected to buy a Mr Whippy throughout the whole of summer so I had to get one at the last gasp before October hits!

My Animal Crossing character wearing a birthday cake hat and surrounded by a birthday spread with candles and cake and a sign with balloons.

The only way to celebrate a birthday in your late 30s.

That's a bit more respectable. (But did result in less mementos. Still don't think I'll ever get the Guardian memento.)

GEN V IS SO GOOD. FUCK.

A photo of a completely empty underground carriage.

How the tube should always be.

Tfw you're working on a preemptive obituary lightbox for one of your favourite drivers 😭

Just realised the whole of Strictly Ballroom is on YouTube. Perfect movie.

I feel like there have been 2 days in the last 2 weeks where I haven't taken painkillers and I'm sick of it.

That race could have been an email.

A little robin in profile, standing on a stone wall.

The sun glinting off the ocean which occupies a single sailboat and layers of cloud in the sky above.

A wide shot of a rose garden.

A wooden carving of a snail shell.

A giant wooden bumblebee carved into the side of a bench.

A swan with two large signets swimming on a lake.

A squirrel perched on the back of a bench, looking slightly wary.

The entrance to a Japanese garden with a budget torii gate.

Anyway, please enjoy my morning walk pictures.

Cool, well that was fun. #F1

🥳🥳🥳

Fuck.

Can people please just let Oscar get a lap in? #F1

That was an ORDEAL. Needless to say, I won't be attempting the speed runner achievements.

Fallon being the last man standing is such an indictment of Fallon
