2 days until the cover of THE KINGDOM OF NOD is revealed! I'm exploring new technologies in this story; nanotechnology, machine learning (or AI), and virtual reality. As usual, there are unintended consequences. #thekingdomofnod #scifibooks #horrorbooks #blackmirror #TBR #PreOrder #BookSky #BookTok

One of many priorities for a Dem-dominated legislature should be making a list of all the executive orders protecting the rights of minorities of all kinds and codify them into law. If one man can undo so much progress, it wasn't really progress.

Here's your engineering solution: Turn the O-N/O-F-F switch to OFF.

I make jokes about it from time to time, but the tasks required of a self-published author that have little to do with writing a story are a serious amount of work. I just delivered the final cover art to our street team and today I'll be making updates to my website(s).

Some people can't acknowledge the existence of a higher power. Hell, most people can't acknowledge a higher authority than themselves on any subject.

This is an interesting documentary. One of the points it makes is that crypto preys off of our sense that our systems are broken. Who knew that guy from the OC had an economics degree. www.cbc.ca/radio/thecur...

Gas prices are obscene. Luckily there's one simple trick to get cheaper gas. Vote every GOP house member and senator out of office in November.

Is there cultural cachet in hating country music? Maybe. When I was a kid it was pretty clear that country music was listened to by idiots and klan members. That cultural perception may have changed a little bit until country music became pair-bonded with MAGA.

Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

"I'd like to pee in the ocean one last time." Bob said with a smile.
"You pee in the ocean?" Seph asked, shaking her head.
Doesn't everyone?" He turned to Adam, who held up his hands to avoid entering the conversation. "I mean, I'd never pee in a hot tub. I'd never pee in a pool. But the ocean? Out past the breakers in 352 quintillion gallons of brine?"
Adam conceded. "Yeah. I admit I have."
Seph thought for a moment, then surrendered her high horse as well.
"Yeah. Me too."

Unclear to me why the tech companies don't create HVAC systems that are just nodes of a distributed data center, linked with fiber that can be used to heat homes and act as water heaters. An AI server box in every home. Free heat and hot water.

How would you describe your social media reach?

Chris Farley: Voting Kicks Ass!

The United States is being run about as badly as I can remember in my life. That's why I'm going out to vote blue today. Are Democrats perfect? By no means. They are flawed. But they are the first step toward a better government. Once the house fire is out, we can elect better firefighters.
