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’m so sorry about your mom. Here is my sister’s very old dog to help you

"The reason we're here is because the government of the United States wants you to leave the United States," Judge Ubaid ul-Haq, presiding from a courtroom on Varick Street, told a group of about a dozen children on a recent morning on Webex. "It's my job to figure out if you have to leave," ul-Haq continued. "It's also my job to figure out if you should stay." The parties included a 7-year-old boy, wearing a shirt emblazoned with a pizza cartoon, who spun a toy windmill while the judge spoke. There was an 8-year-old girl and her 4-year-old sister, in a tie-dye shirt, who squeezed a pink plushy toy and stuffed it into her sleeve. None of the children were accompanied by parents or attorneys, only shelter workers who helped them log on to the hearing. Immigrant advocates and lawyers say an increasing number of migrant children are making immigration court appearances without the assistance of attorneys, which they say will lead to more children getting deported.

This is really good and here it is with alt text for those who need it
Well, of course they were changed by the process - that's the whole point of it - but the shape and texture of their bodies was the least of it. Slowly, I watched them become more self-assured, happier, more profoundly themselves. I've no idea if they would describe it in this way but, from the outside, I'd compare it to putting on a pair of comfortable trainers, after years spent walking around in shoes a size too small. We can, as people, get used to more or less everything, but what a relief it is to finally wear something that fits. Parts of the process were quite fun as well; transitioning means going through a new puberty in more ways than one. I didn't grow up with a little sister but instead, I got to show these grown women how to put lipstick on, and tell them why that dress shape just wouldn't work on them. Other parts were unnerving. The housemate and I would go to the cinema together often; as she started presenting as a woman, we went through an awkward phase. She just didn't know which bathroom to use, as she didn't want to make people uncomfortable but didn't want to be unsafe either. In the end, we decided that the easiest course of action was for us to go pee in the women's together. It wasn't perfect, but it worked. It was also a rare thing, in that it was a problem with an easy solution. Coming out as transgender means fundamentally changing your relationship with society. How you relate to your gender shouldn't really be anyone else's business but, in practice, everyone ends up having an opinion. My friends felt lighter because they could be who they were but, in other ways, their lives got markedly heavier. Suddenly, logistics had to be negotiated, plans had to be formulated in advance, there was always this gnawing fear that something bad could happen. It was painful to witness.
