Not super into fan casting my own stories, but ever since watching SHRINK I can’t help but think a young Tim Baltz with glasses would be a perfect Chris. He even natively has the Chicago suburbs accent

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.

The image shows author Maia Kobabe holding a stack of books and pointing at the reader WHAT IS AABB? A coalition of writers, illustrators, editors & other book creators, standing united against the unconstitutional movement to limit the freedom to read.

We pledge to band together against the oppression of literature, to speak when our voices are silenced, to go where our bodies are needed, & to fight to ensure this freedom. Our concern is not only for the books, but for the children, families, educators, librarians, & communities who suffer when the freedom to read is challenged and taken away. WHAT CAN AABB OFFER YOU? - Regional groups working on legislation to protect authors & the freedom to read state-by-state - Online trainings on digital security, public speaking, & how to counter book challenges in your community -Affinity groups for BIPOC authors, queer authors, authors with disabilities, indie, nonfiction, romance writers & more -Support if your book is challenged or your school visit is canceled! -A very active discord community Person: What if my book hasn’t been challenged?

Knowing that I am not alone in the fight against censorship is what keeps my spirits up! Watching the folks in AABB share information, co-write legislation, show up to library & school board meetings, & speak up to publishers about the need to protect diverse books & minority authors has been amazing! This is a weird & scary time to be an author, but you are not alone! Join thousands of us fighting for the freedom to read, the freedom to write, the freedom to teach, the freedom to learn, & the freedom to share our stories! -Maia Kobabe, 2025

I think arguing that using AI art robs you of True Artistry is not going to land with most people, but saying that “using AI art makes you look incredibly cheap and tacky” will

The Simpsons songs are largely silly and have a “damn, we’re all idiots, huh!” quality. The Family Guy songs are extremely “I’m better than this kind of person and let’s laugh at them because they have no value”

Listened to a mix of Simpsons and Family Guy songs lately and it was a great demonstration of how mean-spirited Family Guy is versus The Simpsons
