OTOH, the Cubs beating either would work for me

Go, Cubs, Go!

I have the same conversation with people who are pro-AI.

If you are currently working at CBS News and have some thoughts about the latest Bari Weiss developments, message me on Signal at allyourscreens.24 or email me confidentially at rick@allyourscreens.com

At age 66, I won the 2024 David Robb Award for Best Investigative Civil Justice Story at the LA Press Club's National A&E Journalism Awards and appeared in the Max documentary "Dark Side Of Kids TV"

post in a neighborhood facebook group that says: “Hello neighbors! A friendly question for y'all with excessively spooky Halloween decorations- are you aware that this holiday is mostly celebrated by young children seeking candy? can we perhaps agree to treat the decorations like your genitals. Would it be ok if they were seen by another willing adult but not by a small kid who simply has to pass by your house to get to school 2x/day? If yes, those are decorations to enjoy inside! Sincerely, a tired parent whose kids don't need more nightmares.”

this took a turn halfway through

I don't think the phrase "ponzi scheme" quite captures this back-and-forth shuffling of money and assets between AI companies and their partners.

You won't read a post that is more on brand today than the one from @chriscillizza.bsky.social arguing "Why I *like* the Bari Weiss hire at CBS News"

Well this is disgusting (and something that local airport management would have to sign off on).

Asheville city council and Buncombe county commissioners appoint the airport's governing board. #avlnews #avlgov

People outside the UK cannot be expected to keep up with which "Graham" you are talking about.

Cutbacks over the years at Minnesota public radio are most apparent with the few different voices you hear now on pledge drives

This is similar to what I saw in South Korea during the martial law protests. Protestors were showing up dressed as Picachu

I am actually impressed you are able to write yours so far in advance. Most times, I am writing mine right up to the moment that I send it out

Yep. I am in my 60s and my career is just coming into its own now. Granted, I wish it would have happened in my 30s...

once me and some friends were wasted at perkins on halloween and saw an old man angrily approach a couple doing a zombie hitler and eva braun costume to say “Adolf wasn’t smiling when I pulled the trigger in Berlin” which, aside from being a cool thing to say, has also always made me kind of wonder

It was a tough game. And I was *this close* to overpaying for some tickets and driving over from St. Paul to see the game. Talk about dodging a bullet.

Here’s an idea for a reporter:

Gather some retired cops or MPs together and show them how ICE handles hecklers and protesters.

I guarantee you’ll get some amazing copy. Especially if your outlet lets you reprint profanity.

I keep going back on forth about doing a book. I think the biggest hurdle right now is just the logistics of the process.

This show should have received more attention than it did. It didn't even get enough press coverage to spark any demands from Elon Musk that it should be removed.

And on a side note, this is the role that George Wallace was born to play.

Also, based on his recent box set, he made another 6-7 he didn't release at the time.

Can you imagine achieving what Paul Schrader has as a screenwriter & director only to still feel so insecure that you spend your time trying to publicly dunk on one of your most celebrated peers? Don't grow up to be like Paul, kids. I love so many of his films, but what a sad, bitter, pitiful dick.

The Cubs beat the Padres, 3-1, to advance to the NLDS against the Brewers.

This is the 1st time in franchise history Cubs won a winner-takes-all playoff game at Wrigley and their 1st postseason series win since 2017.

Just two more years and you will officially be considered a Minnesotan

The Dixie Chicks list their career in country music for saying a lot less

Damn. Thanks. I think that might have been an old release date and I forgot to update it.

A sign reading “do not obey in advance” on a sign marking the clearance height of an overpass.

Actually this particular sign is one you probably should obey in advance.
