every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

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.

Every time there’s a social media pitch event for publishing, I search for “ska” in hopes someone has finally written a family saga set in the mid-90’s about brothers in rival ska bands, and every time I’m left broken hearted.

To stamble: the equivalent of rambling in walking form. A wandering meander. Looks a little drunk, regardless of sobriety.

I had a story outlined and everything.

And then I didn't have energy to write it before my big final exam for the course I was taking.

Because I got pneumonia 😭
