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.

one ot7 pic a day!

bts ot7 from the 2015 seasons greetings. they're sitting in front of curtains on a bench and also a wooden cube and... chemical barrels? they're dressed in cozy sweaters and jeans, all laughing performatively at the photographer's direction. hobi is clutching his belly. yoongi looks like he's contemplating oblivion.

one hobi pic a day! this was very slutty of him 😇

a selca of j-hope in his studio in 2022. he's wearing a knit striped polo shirt with artful distressed holes in it, all the buttons left undone to expose his upper chest. his hair is tousled, mouth slack as he looks off to the side.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Golden Haven: A Charity Zine Collection @goldenhavenzine.bsky.social · 20h

💚 Contributor Spotlight 💚

Please give a warm welcome to Cookie (@dagusts.bsky.social) joining us as a fic writer contributor! 📝 Check out their previous work & get excited to see their zine piece for Volume III 🐱🐰 of Golden Haven: A Charity Zine Collection. 💗

The left side of the green graphic features a writing snippet that reads: “Yoongi holds out a hand and reluctantly, Jun-gkook takes it. It's still as warm as it had been when Jungkook had woken up and Yoongi had touched his arm. When he'd called him baby (he hated that he remembered those words now, in hindsight. But hey, at least he's able to retain new memories)."

Cookie is a writer and can be found on Bluesky and Twitter at dagusts.

The following text is shown: “About Me: A writer who's been writing for 20+ years, hobby artist, voracious reader, crossword enthusiast, coffee lover, and sushi consumer. Believes in art for comfort, and more importantly, for discomfort.
What about Yoonkook makes you think "golden"? The fact that its an element thats warm, highly valuable. and shiny but also soft and flexible, which I think highlights exactly the kind of people they are!"

Excerpt: Exquisite Things by Abdi Nazemian

It's Banned Books Week, and in honor of those titles, we're digging into a recent release to highlight it and share some poignant passages. Today we're looking at Exquisite Things by Abdi Nazemian: Shahriar believes he was born in the wrong time. All he’s ever wanted is to love and be loved, but 1895 London doesn’t offer him the freedom to be his true self, and Oscar Wilde’s trial for gross indecency has only reaffirmed that.

Lost between the desert and the sea

Where should I go yeah

Paths I can't go and paths I can't take

Black stories are unfairly targeted in recent book bans. In the last six years, the book banning movement has increased significantly.

A substantial amount of the ire is directed at Black authors and works highlighting Black stories.

Book Bannings Targeting Black Authors and Perspectives Are Skyrocketing

Books by Black authors are being disproportionately banned at an alarming rate.
