WELL DONE, PENGUIN! 👏
ALT Penguin Random House books now explicitly say ‘no’ to AI training / The copyright page on new books and reprints now says they can’t be used or reproduced ‘for the purpose of training artificial intelligence.’
Of all the things that deserve to be made into a prestige series, this was one of the things that deserved it most.
A peek into what could have been... This was the sizzle reel that screenwriter Dave Kalstein made for the Jade City TV show back when it was in development at Peacock years ago. Imagine my surprise when it popped up in my YouTube recs. I still love it 🥲youtu.be/GDLINV2KABo?si=PcLj…

It is fine, good even, for speculative fiction to be entertaining and action-packed along with profound and sincere but sometimes it must be merciless in the pursuit of Human truths and consequences.
Let Harlan grab you by the front of your shirt and pick this up!

After 50 years, Harlan Ellison's anthology "The Last Dangerous Visions" is finally releasing today. @RollingStone let me talk w/some of Harlan's friends about why bravery on the page mattered in the 70's--and why it matters even more now.

One more time for folks on the day shift...
@RollingStone let me write about bravery on the page, anarchic joy and Harlan Ellison buying a fax machine to celebrate the 50-years-late release of his groundbreaking anthology, The Last Dangerous Visions.

Dracula is an epistolary novel and the narrative is told through diary entries, newspapers, and letters. Because of this style there is a way to read it in “real time” and the novel starts on May 3rd! This sub sends you Dracula in “real time”.

Congrats to all the talented journalists and food writers who were honored by the James Beard Foundation today. Most are freelancers and paid very little for their brilliant work, so click on their stories and read/share them today.
James Beard media award noms were announced today. Couple local names in there y'all might recognize...

If you had told me a year ago that @phillymag would be nominated for not only one but two @beardfoundation awards today I'd have slapped the hoagie out of your hands. And yet!!!
So proud, every day, to work with this small but hungry staff. jamesbeard.org/blog/2024-med…

Physical media is almost a Fahrenheit 451 (where people memorized entire books and thus became the book they loved) level of responsibility. If you own a great 4K HD, Blu-ray, DVD etc etc of a film or films you love... you are the custodian of those films for generations to come.
Christopher Nolan says there’s concern of content disappearing from streaming services.”
“There is a danger, these days, that if things only exist in the streaming version they do get taken down, they come and go.”

Proud of this one. It's all about bagels, capitalism, labor action and the triumph of imperfect things.
Plus, talking to Philip Korshak was just a blast.
