I told my friend that I saw John Turturro at the Angelika tonight and my friend said that he recently saw him at the IFC. Now I’m imagining JT just constantly being at the movies.

A worm that can cause epilepsy. Sounds crazy, no? But in our little village of Anatevka you might say every one of us is a worm that can cause epilepsy.

You can donate to the Chicago Street Vendor Relief Fund to help buy out a local street vendor’s cart for the day. They’ve partnered with a bike patrol / cycling solidarity group, which rides around buying out the inventory then distributing the food at homeless & unhoused encampments & shelters.

I said I would do this last night but I was too tired so lets do it today. A few caveats - not saying this list is exhaustive, it's just a good place to start. It's also not in chronological order because I'm a chaos gremlin

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.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48.

Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.
