Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...

Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday.
The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal.
"My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

My little co-produced LGBTQIA anthology of poems and stories is 91% funded with 4 days to go. Can you help us get it over the line? Many of the authors in here have never been published before and profits from book sales will go to local charity OutLine

It was a very good news day for The Lost Saint which made The Listener Top 50 Kids Books for 2025 list. ‘Schools out, hormones are hot!’ Which is very encouraging as I am wrapping up Bk 2 and happy to report that the ‘mix of fantasy, romance, history and religion’ is still quite ‘brutal and heady’.

Please try to tell your faves you enjoy their work. A lot of people are bold enough to be openly negative or mean while positive people react quietly. Lurking is ofc okay but I think it’s good to try and be openly encouraging from time to time🥹❤️

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Is there any object that has changed less in the last 4000 years than a gaming die? There's an astonishingly human and above all social story around that profound survival.

Ashmolean Museum, Oxford @ashmoleanmuseum.bsky.social · 2d

This terracotta die comes from the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro, one of the first urban centres in human history 🎲⠀
⠀
Gaming with dice has been a popular pastime in India for millennia, with this object dating back to 2500–1900 BCE.
