We discuss the WGA writers’ strike and the state of streaming entertainment. Then, we try to unravel the ongoing spree of vigilante and “defensive” killings across America, from the killing of Jordan Neely in the NYC subways, to the number of recent shootings of people who just rang the wrong doorbell. Finally, a look at Jeremy Boring, and the Daily Wire’s attempt to create a Conservative Disney.

Boku no Law and Order: Richmond DX

Alec

I’m going to brooklyn this weekend and i want to sing karaoke, where should i go?

Abernathy

Idk about Brooklyn but there’s a good karaoke place on 52d

Zach H.

I for one welcome our Chat GPT overlords to return to write all the worst half hour TV comedies again Just like they did in the ‘90’s

Shawn Hayes

Remember that show on fox where they strapped people to a lie detector and asked them horrible questions in front of their family. That was great

Kentucky Shitlib

All the cop shows will be gpt. Next, all the cops.

Chris Wade

Public bar or private room?

Alec

Public! I have been taking voice lessons for several months and i want to show off!

jfk truther

Meteorologist probably skinned the kitten in the backyard

Chris mortony

kobayashi vs a giant bear was incredible

Chris Wade

Not a ton of great dedicated public karaoke rooms in Brooklyn (planet rose, sing sing and looks like Winnie’s might have reopened recently are all p good in Manhattan). But Chino Grande in Williamsburg has a pretty good Karaoke scene after 11p on fridays and saturdays

Ricardo Pleasure

the best part of the gray man was how they had a second climax after what you thought was the climax, only it was shorter and worse with most of the action happening off screen

Major bit me

Rob stark in the Medici show was pretty good, I like that show cause it’s liberalism’s epic origin story of heroic bankers vs the evil dumb aristocrats. But the 3rd season does that too on the nose it’s unwatchable

Alec

Williamsburg it is!

Stone Cold Jane Austen

In 1992 some lunatic in Lousiana shot a Japanese exchange student called Yoshihiro Hattori who knocked on the wrong door. The shooter was acquitted, too

Evan Pitkin

Imagining conservatives shaving with shitty razors and watching their own discount Disney tv shows out of spite makes me genuinely happy.

KyleMSherry

If Daily Wire was serious about their new media empire, they’d hire you guys to write an adaptation of True Allegiance, seeing how you’re the only people who read the damn thing.

plainwrap

If these Daily Wire dorks actually gave a damn about movies they wouldn't be trying to be big-shot Hollywood types but rather resurrect the Roger Corman model and bankroll a whole bunch of cheap exploitation flicks made by up and coming filmmakers. Get every right-wing Tarantino fan out of film school and give them some cash to make retro thrillers for all the Yellowstone-addled Gen-Xers who want to party like it's 1989. Spend a few million per production, buy some squibs, dial down the representation to make your audience comfortable and rake in financier money.

Dan

I enjoyed it too. Big fan of C Evans, Gosling was okay, de Armas is gorgeous, the whole thing was dumb fun.

Michael

"Marjorie Taylor Greene talks about we're going to have a civil war, no we're just going to create perfectly parallel consumer economies." Matt Christman perfectly sums up what much of the "culture war" is truly about.

Cyclops giraffe

I'd be more supportive of the writer strike if they ever wrote a script that had a successful strike in it.

Michael

Ben Shapiro actually did write at least one sitcom pilot...

Jason

Matt Beastmode Ep

Jessica S

Lol - the Silo. My partner had it on and after watching it awhile I said “you know what the real conspiracy is? How the fuck do all these streaming services make so many shows?!” I mean, I guess network/cable tv - appointment viewing - is self-limiting on the number of shows it can create. But still, it’s crazy how much new stuff comes out. I think I honestly prefer when you got 20 or so episodes in a season and only had to wait three months for a new catch. I’m still waiting for Severance - there’s no rhyme or reason to when these things return - gah.

Derwood

That anticipatory “shut up” by Matt is perfect Chapo. This is slop. I am pleased.

christoph.s

There are may be many causes for these shootings, but I think one should not overlook Kyle rittenhouse. He took a gun illegally to another state to murder people, and the judge said he is a hero, if that was not fantasy fulfillment I don‘t know what would be.

Rbfen

There is not bigger Kobayashi fan than me, but Matt is wrong Joey Chestnut never beating him. Chestnut is 4-2 against Kobayashi at Nathan’s including a 2008 overtime victory, considered by many to be the greatest Nathan’s Hot Dog eating championship in history.

Pawgmental

What do y’all think about Milf Manor??

Dru Heff

Matt was on one for this

Jaime Christley

I was at a gym that had the trial on and it was the part where he made that horrible kayfabe ugly cry face and I wanted to puke my brains out. It was a real “nothing means fucking anything anymore” moment.

Kamran Husain

the whole doorbell shotgun shit really brings me back to reading the nra magazine where every week they do a story about an old lady murking a black guy that walked on their property

Justin Haddock

Man I choose the wrong day to feel good about my divorce. Good ep but that was depressing

J Vladcliff

Artists will make art regardless of being paid.

Steeeeve

That's why they should get paid

Pepipopa

Chapo do a main ep above 70 minutes challenge - impossible

Demented Avenger

Given nukes, climate change, Nickelback, and the MCU, the real fear is when AI thinks it can do better than humans. I'm rooting for the computers.

Aaron Snelling

These murder fantasies are reinforced by mainstream media outlets like FOX and OAN that glorify people like Zimmerman and that doughface loser that shot those guys during the Floyd riots.

Jacob Curley

Continue to squeal little piggy

Alec

I did some “mutual aid” or whatever people call it and one day we showed up to a park where local people we had made a connection with were staying. It was fenced off and there was a cop there who walked up to us and said that we were the reason these people were staying in the park and he literally said “if you feed them we’ll never get rid of them” I’ll never forget that

carl

finally deport that hack. stick him in a dr who spinoff and ban him from the u.s. and throw Jimmy fallon in a quarry.

Demented Avenger

Jeremy Boring giving makeovers to conservative men … not that there's anything wrong with that.

Tino Mori

I agree COVID had an effect on this current spate of violence, but it's not distrust in government, it's the cheapening of life, the shrugging at death. It's weird to pretend like no one has any solution to help the unhoused (provide housing and care to everyone, not shelters or conditional welfare, for example), but it's also weird to say "doing nothing" is in the same category as killing someone. No one thinks doing nothing when getting yelled at is helping, but escalating the situation makes it worse. That's not the time for an intervention. Setting aside all the posturing and self-importance which is a part of any discourse of any political scene, it comes down to this for me: do those who discomfort us deserve homes and sustenance, regardless of how broken, rude, erratic, and flawed they are? I think so, and this week has made me lose the illusory hope that more people agreed with me than they do. Grim times.

s_ou_b

How much is the Patreon level where I never have to hear you fetishize 'ART' every again?

Tim Mullen

The boys were spitting supa hot fire today

Mike

Art, that thing that makes life worth living, is fuckin GAY completely agree man

Sam Schick

The first half of this episode had me slapping the wheel of my car and yelling at my radio like a “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired” guy driving through the remains of the US industrial wastelands. The gallows humor has a palpable pain in this episode as I’ve watched my girlfriend spend longer hours in her studio for less money as her industry has seemed to completely vanish in front of her eyes since the beginning of the year.

Jaime Christley

I've not read or heard anything about AI that's made me concerned about robots writing novels and whatnot. The heart of the matter - and this is touched on briefly but I just wanted to wave my emphasis scepter at it - is the private equity-ization / bustout-scheme / what happens to the Bamboo Lounge in GOODFELLAS process is going to squeeze all creative media industries until they're leveraged to death, and then they're just going to yeet the desiccated cadaver through the nearest open window. AI, NFTs, crypto, whatever fugazi tech innovation we get next, these are just alibis. The cunts who are torching the world for the insurance payout -- as the mechanic said, Yep, found ya problem.

Jaime Christley

Has anyone ever made a comparison between the entropy law of thermodynamics and the economy from c. 1600 to the present? Every day I get 2-3 emails from this or that bank offering me a balance transfer or a low-interest loan. Don't need 'em, but when I was in dire financial straits, I'd get the same volume of junk mail offering me consolidation loans. I rate differently now versus then but the principles are pretty consistent: they're offering to lend me money that they scraped from me (and you) in ATM fees, overdraft fees, penalties, short-sheeted savings accounts / money market / CD rates, using their assets under management to place bets at the big casino, etc etc. Isn't there going to come a point when the motor oil has been stepped on and diluted too often, and the engine's just going to sputter and die? ok everybody have a good weekend, and be careful out there pizza guys and girl scouts....

"Nothing is crueler than a coward, and the slaughter to come is probably beyond our imagining"

Saga

Re: "If you ring my doorbell, don't be surprised when I shoot you" - if you haven't put signs up warning people (i.e Trespassers will be shot), then it's not self defense; you're relishing the anticipation of killing another human. I can only look on in abject horror with what's happening in the US, with the growing number of people who seem to think it's their constitutional right to murder - and children, no less. Normally I try to see why people think the way they do, but I can't fathom this mindset, and quite frankly I don't think I want to.

Mark Schneider

Cheezis Christ on a cracker!! When I retired in 2021, Covid prevented my plan to emigrate to Spain. This depressing episode alone has me reconsidering my rather dumb decision to stay in cannibalistic rat-hole U$A. Thanks guys, I needed this kind of slap in the face, coz I stopped reading all the M$M since they went so heavy on the holy Ukranian Nazis crap . . .

Mark Schneider

Also how can the morons @ the Daily Wire worship Jeesus & Ayn Rand both!!? Ayn was aynal scum (alright, cheap pun) but some props to her for hating on Jesus so much!! Even Paul Ryan had to apologize for placing Ayn above Jesus and kiss the Xtian boot-heel, these shlubs need to get some meds for the Right wing schizophrenia they suffer. Pick a side, Ayn or Jeebus!! Full on exterminationist camps for the homeless (per Trump) Mammon or simpering whimpering turn-the-other cheek for god's sake.

Tony Auge

Jaba the Hutt was a human in the original theatrical release.

T

Mighty Men of Valor is the delayed rightwing response to Bud Lite's "Real Men of Genius" ads.

Jaime Christley

The bit about “you shouldn’t be proud of riding the subway and ignoring people who are having a psychotic episode” or whatever, not sure who that’s for. When you ride MTA / NYC Transit, you ignore EVERYONE unless you’re a freak Euro tourist or an NYU freshman. This isn’t a position to be proud of, what are you talking about? Are the lads too fancy to ride the bus or the train? Very odd segment, muddled.

E

Lol so close yet so far - yes maybe us still happily ignoring 2k ppl getting socially murdered each week is making ppl devalue life jfc

Jay

Recent Trillbillies podcast also reflected on the low-value-of-life culture of the US building up for the last 30 ish years, some great insights

Donald Darby

When they get riled up about any non-James Cameron media, they have a really, really bad tendency to turn into angry Pitchfork reviewers from 2007.

Zarathushtra

I’d rather watch AI schlock than whatever Rings of Power is.

Donald Darby

The main problem with all of their takes on AI is that the progress in AI is exponential, not linear. They are right, today, that AI produced media is lacking and beneath what human would produce, but in 6-12 months that output is going to be better than what 75% of professional writers can put out. 3-6 months after that, it'll be 90%. By 2025, they'll probably be someone using AI to make a Chapo style pod that will be better than the boys. Plus ChapoGPT won't show up to recordings zonked on Lean.

Harper Big Spender Karabees

"The future is movies with your face superimposed over them." INVEST IN JIBJAB! JIBJAB WILL APPROACH 50% MARKET SHARE BY 2030!

Damen Irving

The only job in the future is going to be owning various IP

Mark Schneider

In that case so do you, fascist scum

Juniper Kur

u guys should do evangelical king arthur at ur next live show kinda like daughters meatballs

Ruby Lee

he was a space scotsman

Dan

*I don't believe that those scenes were in the theatrical release, even.

Sam Schick

They have 2 very good takes 1 - that AI will and might already be used by companies to create substandard content because executives are are typically tasteless idiots that are only market driven and the effects of that are important. 2 - that even at its best, AI will likely make content that resembles franchise style IP which is disposable and already creates content that has little artistic merit. We continually find ourselves surrounded by disposable objects and culture and are now watching the closing of the last window into the creative soul of other humans. This can only bring forth a mass psychosis of existential dread. It’ll make all the contradictions of being a complex thinking being that operates in a low tier economic structure unbearable, the only option will be a long and violent upheaval of everything we’ve come to know…

Evan Scott

Idk I commute by train every day still and I found that bit pretty salient. I can see how it might sound weird if you haven't commuted by train in the post-pandemic societal breakdown period but yeah I think he's pretty on

Evan Scott

Philly (especially my commute) is probably worse than NYC but I got the impression they were speaking generally

Tony Bonacci

It's not exponential though. You just think that cause you're a fucking idiot. If you'd been paying attention to ai like tech for the last twenty years you'd know it's been a slowly advancing slog. And the ai still isn't funny. No humor by a factor of a thousand is still no humor. It's trapped by the Chinese room. It may be able to produce these characters from a manual but it does not understand them. Copywriters are fucked but the Chapo boys will be fine. It's the difference between artisanal four star chefs and chef boy r dee. The hogs will eat the slop and our society will be commodified to death but the robots will never write good TV.

Jaime Christley

Maybe so - anyway not a big complaint, good episode overall.

syd

Maybe I'm biased cause one of these just happened right next to my mom's place, but it seems like multi-location shooting sprees are on the rise as well

Jordan Young

I agree most AI art is atrocious. The exception I cannot help but stress is in fashion. The ai-art in this domain is truly phantasmic perfection.

Mark Schneider

Oh, you have corrected my misunderstanding!! Vigilante murders of the mentally ill or anyone who offends your boozhie entitlement ARE good social policy, yes, let's go back to the "honor code" behaviors of the decaying Spanish nobles of the 18th century or the Injun killers of the Wild West. Brilliant insight, I hope you live in a Red State where you can brandish your tiny gun or knife indiscriminately (you're obviously white, coz couldn't do so if not.)

Axel H.

"People who make me uncomfortable should be killed".

Reece Coren

i could listen to matt scream about the grey man for literally a week straight

Evan Scott

I agree that there needs to be more social "enforcement" for lack of a better word for a society to work without police and this attitude that any kind of intervention against anti-social behavior isn't automatically "cop behavior" but the opposite. But this guy didn't just get his shit rocked or something, he was murdered. That is not a fitting punishment for acting out

Andrew M

jon snow was in the internals i kid you not

J. A.

She was a community College student "didnt even have hair on her prick"

Zott23

Excited for the return of insane reality shows like Breaking Bonaduce, where a roided up alcoholic former child star filmed and published all the awful moments leading to his divorce. Wholesome fun for the whole family.

Houthi & the Blowfish

They had to cancel "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire" because one of the contestants got caught killing someone and putting them in a suitcase and dumping it in the dumpster.

Houthi & the Blowfish

Or was it one of those chicks from Rock of Love I can't remember

john

inventing situations, put-ting them on tv 💖

Omegasmash

Its funny how after weeks if them making fun of AI and saying it's no big deal now they take issue with how its potentially disruptive to artists when it affects movies. Despite actual artists screaming about this for months

Houthi & the Blowfish

Climbing the Rope contest was from the movie "Soldier" with Kurt Russell.

Warbs

Keep scoffing, I'm reloading. Amazing.

socialist heretic

Silo has Tim Robbins who I swear was once on Chapo. It's by Graham Yost who did The Americans and Justified. Reminds me of that funny show "The Dome" which had Dean Norris.

Jaime Christley

holy shit he totally was on Chapo, I completely memory-holed that.....

james

Whoa they’re even killing innocent white ladies Will??? That was very weirdly put

Kevin

Can we please see these writers get bolled over by actual competent ones. Most entertainment gigs are just structure-based class welfare for every middle-class hipster scion who claimed that Shakespeare was overrated in their First-Year Lit. Critique/Criticism Seminar. Most of these people are just as cultural malnourished as the rest of America; the difference is that they've learned a middle-class affectation.

AR

Love you guys, listening for years. Kinda fucking sucks tho when you call awful people "cocksuckers" or a couple episodes ago called something "gay" derogatorilly. I know nothing is meant by it but takes me out of listening.

Poppy Chulo

That's really gay honestly.

Poppy Chulo

I say bring on the AI, in fact fuck any ethical concerns. Let's shoot for post scarcity or die trying.

Faggy complaint

COM

I saw kids ding dong ditching yesterday, it's the new russian roulette tiktok challenge

Daffy

It was like a different show when there was five of them. It was a different world back then. In the before time...

Ole Edvard Evenstuen

I can't believe Felix disrespected the 10/10 masterpiece Warcraft (2016), staring the guy from Vikings.

Daffy

Unfortunately most 'gay guys' are white dudes who grew up in the 90s. So most of Chapo's gay friends talk like assholes, too. Have you heard Seeking Derangements? Most pre-Ober gay guys talk like that. I think a lot of people who were kids in the 90s talk like shitty action movie protagonists or dumbass professional athletes. Those were basically the only role models during the long 90s. Everyone talks like Nicholas Cage now and it's fucking awful.

SF

What is the point of posting something like this.

Daffy

In the vein of the ought's reality programming, does anyone remember KENNY VS SPENNY? Ahead of its time derogatory, spiteful humor where the winner is not rewarded, but the loser is HUMILIATED. It was the only reality show I have ever recommended to strangers. Some people say it was staged / faked most of the time. I honestly don't know. Real or fake it presaged a lot of our politics and definitely needs a TV mindset deconstruction from Matt and Felix.

K H

Tell me Guillermo Del Toros Cabinet of Curiosities episode The Witch House with the talking rat and Ron Weasely saying fuck wasn't made by ai. Or that other show I keep getting promos for with the "little person" guy that says "I read your moind. Just kidding I didn't read your moind." A machine biological or electronic made that shit. It was not a human. What did Dune tell us? That human nature inexorably leads us to a kind of informational consolidation that results in annihilation of humanity either explicitly or implicitly. Except instead of knowing everything like in Dune, we'll be in a quantum retardation of all possible information and no way to organize it or know what is or what to pay attention to or what is real, happening, or has happened. Like the mathematical Tower of Babel some mathematician made that contains everything that could ever be written on one page in English.

K H

It was also in Running Man. Even then we knew.

K H

Luke was gay hardcore with Harrison Ford in the theatrical release.

K H

"I'm using 'we' in the most literal sense." I'm assuming to fully understand his grievance you'd need to be on Twitter. Also, I'm confused from what I've heard, did other people on the subway just watch this homeless guy get murdered?

Jordan Rundle

*remunerated HAHA I’m smarter than Matt. I knew it

Mr.Movies

I work for a teachers union currently going door to door for a ballot initiative. Thank you Chapo for thoroughly reinforcing my fears that I am putting my life on the line to acquire signatures for better school funding

K H

Post scarcity in non squib bases media

K H

All zoomers are single to me but who would want to fuck these cry babies.

K H

Performative pearl clutching. Like in those Japanese films I like.

K H

They said iirc that it's shitty and not going to dominate the earth like Ultron. I think they specifically said it would make art worse by basically recycling itself and drowning us in more and more noise. It's not a big deal as in it isn't a god that tricks us into leaving our wives like some suggest.

DotsTheHero

Honestly I think most of the inclination to say "ARTIST ARE OVER" in the wake of AI is being driven by people who worship their own intelligence, to prop up the fact that they never developed a creative skill as yet another feat of intelligence on their part. After all, to them "Why bother, AI was just going to learn art and make it pointless".

BB

DARK DISNEY

Jaime Christley

"advancements in technology" has always been a lot of smoke and mirrors, spectacle having less to do with improving our quality of life, and more to do with inflating the value of a corporate entity while simultaneously reducing the value of extracted labor. Like a lot of popular conceptions of history, these narratives require heroes (I guess they're what we call monads?) who magically bequeath unto the masses rich gifts like iPhones and electric cars, using nothing other than their uncanny abilities to render gadgets and doodads out of the ether. This is why I'm less inclined to fear "AI" and more inclined to be duly concerned about Silicon Valley (and etc) shitheels who cultivate deification as a means to an end, and wield "AI", or whatever the next fad is going to be, as an apparatus that will raise market capital. Don't worry about the people dabbling in AI art-making, or the developer-coder class... worry about the know-nothing bastards who have a game plan to cash out under any circumstances, regardless of whether their company goes to the stars or straight into a ditch.

Mark Schneider

Stefan Cantinella deleted his post cheering vigilante killings of the homeless!! Typical bully, walks away from their hate spew when called on it. My response with the 8 likes is still up. Hey Stefan C, I hope next time you are out in your local area setting fire to sleeping homeless people, that the cops catch you . . . Oops, actually maybe not, I suppose they might deputize you like your li'l pal with the submachine gun Kyle Rottenmouse.

K H

Well the porn will be amazing.

Chris

There's probably some merit to this style of accelerationism; rapidly grow tech and remove jobs so quickly that govts will have to build safety nets otherwise countries will collapse. Alhumduiallah I pray for AI to do this honestly

Chris

I think they're wrong both times. Humans already destroyed art themselves doing what we're afraid ai is going to do. Visual expression has barely changed in the last 30 years. AIs most positive impact may be lighting a fire under the ass of creativity.

Chris

We're finally blossoming into the monster that everyone in the last 150 years with 100 IQ predicted we would become

Chris

It's hard to deny the labor aristocracy the WGA represents. People should be paid and I begrudgingly support the writers, but where the fuck have they been for everyone else? Their paradise is being threatened but most workers have been gutted and fucked out on the streets.

Tim O'

What do you expect? The writers are on strike 🤷‍♂️

MG

The whole point of art is the joy in making it. Everyone instinctively knows this as a child, then for most the feeling is beaten down by capitalist society forcing us to compete with each other, making us believe we aren’t creative. This is a lie. So, turn away from “content” and make your own art, and share it in physical spaces with others. Make stupid movies with your friends. Make stupid stickers and post them everywhere. Steal supplies from your job. Make dumb comics or zines at your job and hand them out to coworkers. Force the world to witness your vision of utopia (or rant about this world’s dystopia). (The AI Simpsons and Seinfeld sketches were genius, though)

AbeLinkin

Yes but told much more shittily

AbeLinkin

He was making the point that in the past we’d all collectively mourn the pretty young white girl but even that protected group isn’t safe from the paranoid gun freaks

Cyclops giraffe

Really? I thought submissions had to be in by March for this year.

Cyclops giraffe

Exactly I still support their union I just wish they gave a fuck about us.

aarinsanity

It sounds like Jordan Neely was having a psychotic episode and was reported as threatening people on the subway. It looks like he was subdued by Daniel Penny and few other men and died. Very sad help didn’t arrive that could have saved his life! The system failed Jordan Neely. I don’t really think any of this was about race though. F*cking libs! Lol also ive dealt with psychosis in the past, you can’t always just “ignore” the problem when someone’s acting out in public. You really don’t know the lengths people will go to harm themselves or others! Also not in ANY way justifying putting someone in a chokehold as the right thing to do.

Jim McKenna

Well said and a good reminder. Thanks

Kevin

Bull's Eye! The harsh reality is that most artists lived hand to mouth and very few achieved anything resembling the sort of middle-class prosperity that many of their modern contemporaries have achieved. Writers like Virgil were essentially pets of the Emperor; the yearly income of mid-tier internet smut artists is probably more than what Van Gogh made in his entire career; hell, many artists who started off well-off lost their entire fortune over the course of their career. Now, soft-shelled "artists" who are only "struggling" because they choose to live in ridiculously expensive apartments in LA/NY/San Fran/etc. are making cry-videos on Youtube talking about how they're going to have to "give up" art because a computer "might" take some of their work away.

really insightful discussion happening in the comments here!

rexedog

will bring back vanderpod this shit is giving me brain damage i want some way to laugh about it at work

Jaime Christley

"The whole point of art is the joy in making it." I mean that's the whole thing right there. I push back against some of the AI commentary where people don't want to recognize the X factor that distinguishes between a human creating a work of art and a machine creating the same thing, or some people like to say "Aren't humans machines too?" as well as "Who's to say a machine can't feel?" and so on. And these are not dummies floating these ideas; often they're guys and gals who are much smarter than I am about their own area of expertise (or they're just smarter than me, period) but when it comes to commenting on a work of art, it's like their IQ dips by half. You don't even have to broach spirituality or philosophy (caveat: I took a mandatory philosophy course at university and I 100% ate shit, I've got a brain block with that stuff) to come to grips with the first line of your post. Let's say a machine creates a completely new painting that's in the exact style of Van Gogh. Stupid example but, you might ask, what's missing? Kind of fucking everything is missing, tbh. * I would define "joy" as containing a lot of emotions that aren't just "joy", if that makes sense. I'd say joy is a big tent, and in it you can find pain, suffering, regret, etc etc.

Poppy Chulo

I want to take Gina Carano out, end up in a whirlwind romance, convince her I want to marry her, and then withdraw emotionally from the relationship, leaving her to constantly ask "Where are you right now?" eventually forcing her to break up with me, all within three months.

Horse Badorties

Thanks! I found a big list of Eno-produced records a few years ago, and maybe 1/4 was stuff I had on vinyl and sold in the 90s. "Penguin Cafe Orchestra" for god's sake.

Michael Dobson

Two years ago a friend living in England came back through America with a British friend, and stayed with me overnight in Ohio. I told the Brit they could ask me anything they wanted to about Americans. Their first question: "how can I legally murder someone here?" This is who we are, and other countries know it.

M.R. Alchemist

I think the chapoes would actually be able to create insane movies with these AI systems You can curate the content + give it feedback and it will correct itself You'd need someone to program it for you but it's doable. Jump-looper the anime? 😆

The cheerleader who was shot was blonde but also mixed and obviously half black. So there might just be a little more than " a racial element" to all the cases you named.
