Probably. Aside from the Blackbirds series, I think the only ones I've found were published by Tor.

The DRM-free books say either that or that they're available to read on all e-readers. For example, @chuckwendig.bsky.social's Blackbirds series.

If you experience side effects that make you want to die, you can blame @jhaddock.bsky.social. I gave him advice on how to reduce them and he ignored. The fool!

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

I got flu, COVID, and 2 others and it was good despite every previous one hitting me like a truck 12 hours later. Took 2 antihistamines an hour before, which supposedly helps with the reaction.

In 1999, we surfed the Web. Now we comb through it like a fantasy hero. Which posts are treasure, and which are deadly Mimics? What's real, and what's an impersonator trying to steal my attention? Worse: reading all this bland AI monoculture text leads to us thinking bland AI monoculture thoughts.

not a knock on indivisible, which doesn’t control this, but i think dems in congress underestimate just how corrosive it is to morale and trust to force their constituents to have to beg them to just do the right thing themselves for once on corruption issues like these. it’s exhausting

Every so often I decide to learn useful knots. Then I never use them and do the same thing a few years later. I assume eventually relearning the same knots will come in handy.
