Let’s play a game today.

Walrus is the world’s simplest conversation game.

I say a thing, the next person says something that is better than, greater than, or defeats what I said.

Dog, wolf, werewolf, silver bullet, gold bullet, etc.

Things can be real or fictional!

I’ll start:

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

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.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.

If you haven't listened to the trailers for The Harbingers — please do!! It sounds so cool so far, I'm really excited to tune in!

Gabriel Urbina @gabrielurbina.com · 1d

The first season is 16 episodes, between 30 and 45 minutes depending on the episode, all telling a continuous, ongoing story.

The dream is to make multiple seasons of it, and fairly quickly? But we need the show to find an audience first. So if folks are curious, definitely tune in next week!

Alex @iamalexlemire.bsky.social · 1d

how long do you expect it to be? multiple seasons like wolf 359 or a single season like unseen?
