Showed my boyfriend The Sopranos last night because he'd never seen it before. A really good and kind gesture of me, I think. Because now he is able to run free with all the other boyfriends, galloping the plains, free ranging, all talking like New Jersey mobsters.
So beautiful when that happens πŸ₯°

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.

what legal recourse do artists and museums have against international militaries stealing and using our work to commit warcrimes, since apparently that's a conversation we need to have now.

Yeah true. But also my colleague is definitely not a neo nazi, and his outfit was just extremely neutral. also, a lot of people in general wear all black! I just thought it was a kinda crazy thing for the guy to say about a very normal outfit and also, it's good to be anti fascist!

A guy at work said one of my colleagues was dressed like 'antifa' because he was wearing a black denim jacket, black jeans and a black tshirt. I pointed out that dressing like you look like you're anti fascist is a good thing, actually.
He didn't say anything back

My vline train from Southern Cross was delayed by 15 mins. The driver made an announcement that it was because of a trespasser on the tracks. After hearing the announcement a boomer lady said the delay was because of Dan Andrews

Thinking about how on Thursday in the office, I said I still do wordle. Someone asked if I've ever gotten it in one. I said no because my opening word is PENIS. The office went immediately silent after
