I'm normally a "it's never too late" kinda gal, but with McConnell... I think it's too late. His body is a not-even-shambling corpse held together by hatred and dark magics, and his mind is mostly mayonnaise at this point. I think if you tried to inject estrogen his whole human costume would just fall apart into dust like a chernobyl victim and I don't think there's enough HRT in the world to dampen whatever dysphoria he must be suffering by being forcibly and unnaturally kept alive without enough senses to recognize the world around him.

    David Simon, creator of 'The Wire', being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

    SHAPIRO: Ok, so you've spent your career television without AI, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I 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 AI can 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 AI and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.

    SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
