Chrysler made a film back in the early 70's for their dealers and salesmen called “Selling Cars To Women”. It included helpful tips like “Pay attention to what they want” and “Treat them like human beings”.

I don’t really see The Wire as a novel for television. It’s a lot of smaller stories that exist mostly in parallel and intersect fairly infrequently. There’s no central character or driving story. There’s no real rising action or climax over the course of the series. As I said before, the plots are almost beside the…

The security guys were the worst. They were all stupid and sloppy.

Until proven otherwise, I’m going to assume that the crime app is  run by and for the giant AI as a way to monitor and control criminal activity.

Yeah, there’s a real Scooby Doo vibe going on now.
