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.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

If you're watching the situation in Chicago from afar & want to help, on the off chance you have spare $$, you can give to the Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund, which posts "bond for individuals held in the custody of ICE w ties to IL, IN, KY & WI who cannot afford to pay"

Holy cow I love this so much.

"How each character responds to these fears and griefs is central to the story, moving it forward, and ameliorating or adding to the grief in the story, both for themselves and others."

Love this thoughtful gorgeous response to my book. 🌼🌞♥️

Power doesn't panic. Imagine how afraid they are if one postcard sends an armed response to a man's home.

“No Kings” organizers in FL got a visit from investigators with the criminal division of the state’s Department of Financial Services because of a postcard they sent to FL state CFO Blaise Ingoglia that said “You lack values.”

Armed investigators visit man who sent postcard critical of CFO Ingoglia

The politically active couple expected a knock on their door because of their criticism of Trump and DeSantis, but not over a seemingly innocuous postcard.

I’m so grateful for this community. I wrote this wanting to write an action character who was more than a tough woman kicking ass in the streets in steel toe boots and brass rings. She’s also vulnerable. She bleeds.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
