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.

Also, I'm not as offended by "Wood" (it's camp!) as I am by Wi$h Li$t. Fuck that song so hard.

OK I've listened to Showgirl and the turn-her-head-all-the-way-around-crazy song on this album is Father Figure.

And, of course, it's the best fucking one.

Be dominant. Remember what Stormy taught us, Mark: The man likes to be spanked.

One thing about AI is that it allows people to bypass the emotional discomfort of not knowing what tf you're doing, even as you're trying to figure it out. That space between knowing and understanding is confusing and frustrating and students don't know how to cope with lingering there.

Beavis and Butthead, and South Park, and both comedies, as, I suspect, this song is. Maybe lighten up. And crass is absolutely gendered because the bar is so much lower. "Cartmen gets an Anal Probe" is crass for them. "Wood" is crass for us. It's not the same.

This is what I mean. I'm not into the song because it's not that good, but "crass"? I've never heard a man be called "crass". Let a bitch get her back blown out.

Women, 30-35 is going to be rough. Expect a lot of strangers telling you that you are selfish and irresponsible to not already have kids. But after 35, when you are dead to them: you'll be much much happier. 35 is the best birthday, not the worst.

Before I listen, does the new Taylor Swift album have a song about her being turn-the-head-all-the-way-around insane?Because I would like to start with that one. Those ones are the good ones.

Haven't listened to the album yet, but I assume the vibes are Yizma and Kronk?

Vous avez gagnรฉ en gagnant les progressistes, comme moi, qui ont peur des conservateurs et de Donald Trump, et maintenant vous les imitez. Nous ne referons pas la mรชme erreur deux fois.

Drinking beer and not wine is how you show them you're not like other tourists. You're different.

Yup, just like Mulroney successfully did by letting the private sector take over the housing --- ohhh waittttt...

Seriously. They got their government by galvanizing progressives against PP and Trump. We won't be fooled twice. Do what you were hired to do, Mark.

I just want someone innovative and disruptive to invent something I actually want. Like food that never gets cold.

I think that's really unfair to whores.

If a john had funded the killing of a whore's father, I don't think that whore would necessarily sleep with him. Pete Davidson is special that way.

Poilievre claims Christians 'may be the number 1' victims of hate-based violence | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Monday that Christians and their places of worship are being targeted and, if elected, he will crack down on religion-based hate.

I feel like it would have been both easy and anti-inflammatory to put the word "Incorrectly" after our Glorious Conservative Leader's name in the title, given the data present in the article, but what do I know www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
