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.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

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.

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

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

Would love to hear the explanation for whatever “Far middle” means. Gotta be good for at least two hearty laughs.

Yea, I forgot they’d bought him down.

You left your sandwich unattended. Is this your first dog?

Even moreso now that Nagbe is retiring at the end of the year.

Is Gazdag the third DP then? If so, pay him to go away and reclaim the spot.

The word off the street is now on the street.

How long will it take #Crew96 to replace one of the most legendary midfielders in league history?

Seeing as this opens a DP slot and the billionaire owner just complained about product quality, the wallet better open quickly with no spending limit.

Watching the 2nd half of Chicago vs Toronto and realizing it’s probably the first time I’ve tuned into a non-Crew MLS match in years. Possibly the first time since before STC.

The man just won the league. What a wholly unnecessary and disrespectful question. 🙄

Draw is probably better than we deserve given the amount of chances Orlando self sabotaged.

You’ll never guess what the shooting stats look like for #Crew96 tonight….

Explain the Aliyu sub. Presumably he was put on to make runs, which he’s tried a few times, but nobody really looks for those kinds of passes. Nagbe just had one and ignored it.

What genius keeps calling for them to cut to the camera covered in raindrops? I swear whoever directs these broadcasts are the weakest links of the Apple MLS programming.

Sean Zawadski with one of the most intelligent and technical plays by a Crew player. Clone the man. #Crew96

Is that the same person who posted a graph of their work “contributions” for this year? Seeing that one triggered an actual physical cringe in me.

Picard looked better in that 45 than Gazdag has in any 45. #Crew96

They’re leaving Herrera alone on that backside A LOT so far tonight. Keep going to him.

Amateur effort on that by Schulte. Inexcusable.

GREAT run by Herrera. He’s been on so far tonight. Deserved that.

Good god Schulte, get your head straight, kid.

*10

If Orlando is gonna sit all 20 players back and compress their lines to within 25 yards of each other this #Crew96 team better make some god damn runs and the long leading passes to meet them.

Yeah mine is doing it again too

It’s bad. The video was glitching during the injury earlier and now the audio keeps popping.

Orlando is in the playoffs jockeying for seeding, plays some pretty good attacking soccer, and is tied for 4th in the league for most Goals, but their stadium isn’t even half full for kickoff against a match against a huge Eastern Conference opponent.

Seems not great…
