Would really love government agencies to stop saying "humanely depopulate." How about something plainer like "kill"? The phrase "humanely depopulate" sounds like something a weirdly polite Dalek would say. Or else a super creepy phrase out of "1984."

100% wrong, Google AI. This book isn't about: - a journalist - or solving a case - or a female gourmet chef - or a serial killer Also, it's not based on a true story. How many people are being fed wrong #AI summaries daily, about topics where the stakes are much higher than picking my next read?

I have loads of fave science writers, but I just started @helenczerski.bsky.social's The Blue Machine... Her intro deserves 🥇 for "most eye-opening start to a science book." I'm 650 miles from a coast & am now like, "the ocean is everything." www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/740902...
