講《Horrible Histories》，不能不了解作者Terry Deary的故事。

Terry Deary在學生時期是個不愛上課，而且常製造麻煩的孩子。長大後他醉心話劇，也曾到學校做戲劇老師。他覺得英國學童不愛歷史，是因為教得太悶，因此，他決定用有趣的方式，帶點八卦娛樂及冷知識的方式來重新詮釋歷史，讓歷史變得有趣。他要以人為中心，不是以年份數字為中心的童書；他說要用平民、農民的角度去描繪名人君王。結果1993年他第一本Horrible Histories的童書面世，將歷史臨時演員變成敍事的核心，即刻引來爭議，也好評如潮。

曾經看過Terry Deary的報章專訪。記者問他，為何兒童和少年人對他的書和電視劇愛不釋手？他說：「因為夠顛覆，所以才吸引」（That’s subversion. ...

I genuinely feel like using AI in SOME forms for long-form writing is incredible. It shouldn't write for you; but using it to ramble ideas and thoughts, transcribe them, and help you sort them is fantastic. I throw all my thoughts at it, get bullet points back, then I write with my own voice.

#Controversial but I'm all for this. For too long hateful, discriminatory speech has been covered by the bullshit reasoning of "free speech." As nothing more than a difference of political and religious opinion. It's normalized hate and fascism. This is a course correction I'm fully in support of.
