Oh, excellent! Too much talking about your books discourse. So, let's talk about my books: 1. Bad Company (amzn.to/3er9FPS) & Company Men (amzn.to/3wiIJrT) A hitman, a weather girl, and a scientist walk into a Minneapolis Research Center. They're probably not all getting out.

Techy looking covers to the Bad Company books by Adam Stemple. Bad Company, a thriller, shows hexagon representing genes with bullet-holes in them (nifty!) Company Men, a bad company book, features a gray suit and tie with strange floating cube where the head should be. A tiny bit of blood drips from the coat pocket. What could it mean? You have to read the books to find out!

Fancy-ass promo for Bad Company I tricked up myself. Tagline is: It only took one good deed to start the apocalypse. It's going to take a whole lot of bad ones to stop it. Spooky, right? Images is the book cover (techy gene hexagons with bulletholes in them) plus a blood-stained beaker with vials of blue liquid in it. Extra text tells you that it's AVAILABLE NOW! at Amazon.com in eBook and paperback.

Wait, you’re supposed to ESCAPE the bookstore? I don’t understand.

AI can’t do math. Not hard math. Not string theory, quantum mechanics, universe bending math. But math my Amiga HD could do in 1987.

An AI response to “How far is 10 long blocks in Minneapolis” that reads “10 long blocks in Minneapolis are approximately three-quarters of a mile, or about .75 miles. In Minneapolis a long block is typically about 1/8 of a mile, so 10 long blocks is equivalent to 10 x 1/8 = 10/8 =1.25 miles, which is approximately 3/4 of a mile.

Worst part of Kirk's death is the boon it has been for AI book "authors."

Pic showing 3 listings of shlock books almost certainly written by AI that came out mere hours after the pumpkin-headed racist incel got plugged. I won't list the titles here, but just imagine a bunch of lionizing horseshit about "his legacy" and "his tragic death" and you'll be in the ballpark.

Ah, the old ‘charity gala.’ A thing I am well known to attend.

We exchanged numbers at the charity gala.

Ah, charity, a trait not well known to our kind. Better the vices: sloth and gluttony and greed; who can tell what a man of virtue will do? Someone who has councilors with the devil will make the same choice on every occasion.

Disappointing response, but the story continues.

Second in a text convo where the person has responded (quote disappointingly), “You can.” I responded in two parts. First: “Things are moving quickly here. The dogs cornered the beast in an icy cavern. The yeti fought savagely, killing three of the dogs, and injuring two of the sherpas. I am afraid they won't survive. But finally, my rifle proved fatal, as one of the many shots I fired pierced his heart.” Second picture has remainder of text.

Remainder of response: “But as I stood over him, looking for satisfaction as the light died from his eyes, I saw the most distressing thing. They turned from the malevolent yellow I first saw in the firelight of my camp as I chased him away from my dead wife to the calm blue of a clear sky. I fear the creature I have chased all these years was under some kind of geas and I have a greater enemy still at large.”

Hate it when I have a typo in these. But still worth it. No response as of yet.

A random text arrives from an unknown number. It reads “Are you in the office now?” Obvious spam. I answer with “No, I am back in Nepal. It took months to gather the funds for this hunt, and every day wasted meant the trail grew colder. The yeti they killed my wife and unborn child haunts my dreams still, a looming presence. I am close now; I hear it hooting at dusk and dawn, taunting me. The wolves sometimes echo its call, as though in the thrall of the great beast. It tasks me, lord it tasks me. But I shall have it, if it costs me all my days.”

Waiting for the Amazon boycott to pass before posting a link to there again, but wanted folks to know that paperbacks of The Prefrontal Playbook will be available soon from other sites.

4 copies of a mostly white book with a stylize silhouette of a head with gears and cogs inside it — which is, to be clear, not how the brain looks or works. Text on the front cover reads "The Prefrontal Playbook: Hacking Your Brain to Beat Depression" and the author name, Adam Stemple, at the top. Back cover shows the phrase "You've learned how to survive with mental illness, now learn how to thrive despite mental illness" and a lot more text that is too small and blurry to read..
