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.

White folks don't wanna work?

Where are the red Make America Great Again hats out in the fields? You know, the same people who swore immigrants were “taking their jobs.”

Keep snatching hard-working folks who are just trying to support their families and don’t be shocked when this becomes the new norm.

!!!!!!!! i’m glad i’m not alone! my goal this year (and beyond) is to de-center convenience and embrace that some things take time and *should* take time.

i can’t articulate it the way i’d like to yet but the collective obsession with convenience and speed is…not good. at all. not even a little bit.

Octavia Butler predicted our dystopian present. What can a futurist learn from her chilling accuracy?

“She painted a very clear picture about survival.”

i hate when a song sounds empty!

a woman in a cowboy hat is talking to a man in a cowboy hat .

Alt: GIF shows a scene from the movie “Holes” featuring the camp warden, played by Sigourney Weaver, wearing dark sunglasses, a cowboy hat, and a dark denim shirt. She’s facing a shorter man, wearing a beige wide-brim hat, and shaking a water jug in his face. Though not pictured in the GIF, the iconic line she’s just delivered was “Do you hear the empty spaces?”

I need these newer producers to get better at sampling.

Many are barely chopping anymore. They’re just interpolating an entire section of a song and throwing WORSE drums on it.

You see how none of the st8men who joked about waking up as women said they would want to be submissive, married, sahm, modest, homebodies…..

They instantly wanted to sell it, pop pussy, hit the streets?

there’s nothing “privileged” about taking a look in the proverbial mirror and making a change, but other than that you nailed it, frost!

james-frost.bsky.social @james-frost.bsky.social · Aug 2

You do realize that what you're really saying is "Straight men are not owed romantic love, and should resign themselves to being alone forever if they aren't privileged enough to meet a standard of social acceptability."
