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.

I love working with @escalante.bsky.social because he never half-asses this kind of shit.

He will scrub through all 129 episodes of Too Close for Comfort to make sure we have a list of every sweater Ted Knight wore.

but also, we're fighting.

Yeah, to be fair, I'd also be drinking cold brew unless it were actually freezing outside.

It's going to take a long time to come back from whatever happened, and I'm not sure it'll ever look the same.

I've got PA people in my mentions and chats talking about their weather, and I'm sitting here in shorts and a shirt drinking iced coffee because it's still gonna be 90 today.

I know we put out four hours of audio a week, and we've done that for a few years at this point, but I have to say, this was particularly unhinged.

Ok? Done?

wut

Congrats!

I remember being similarly confused in Pulp Fiction, when they need to get the car off the road and they mention not having many friends in the valley.

Do they ever mention what valley it in in Clueless? I remember being very confused, being a kid from Texas.

956 baby.

A new career, I think.

I’ve been rationing my Adderall since I’m still setting myself up on my new insurance, but I took some today, and holy shit.

I feel normal for once. A bit like I’m going to crawl out of my skin, but I can do shit.

That’s what I’m wondering! Like, it feels ballsy, but Dallas is a super diverse place, and there’s a handful of great vegan places around

Thinking about this Vegan food stand at the state fair. I didn't stop by, because I was on a mission, but I'll give it a whirl next time.

Send me a pic and I will photoshop you into that meme.

The sun is going down directly in front of home plate, no one can hit or see anything.

This is going to be the fastest little league game ever.

It's no exaggeration to say that if the Dems do stop the shutdown Trump will literally have a HAHA YOU FUCKING IDIOTS press conference the same way Brendan Carr laughed and admitted Project 2025 was always the plan

The ol’ shoot you awake from almost falling asleep leg cramp.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

So, yeah.
1) I think of it as the Cosell Principle: call people what they want to be called. It’s simple! It’s polite.
2) Also! With cis students, esp in the South, a solid 15% “go by” something other than what’s on their birth certificate. Sorry, Trey!

I feel like this is how I got Pittsburgh-pilled.

My ADHD meds have worn out, so I’m having trouble focusing on three games…

…and a stupid part of my brain is going, “hey, maybe you should just take an extra dose at 10:15pm.”

No. Stop that.

Its 10:45pm on a Friday night. Why on earth are you watching West Virginia vs BYUj? Because I've lost control of my life.
