This second book in the Amina al-Sirafi fantasy series, featuring an ex-pirate captain over forty with a young daughter, is quite a bit darker than the first. Nevertheless, it's an absorbing read, with an ending that will make you scream. #books #reviews #fantasy #pirates #booksky 💙📚🪐📚

I just saw the 35th anniversary re-release of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, one of my all-time favorite movies. The script, co-written by James Cameron, is clumsy in places, but boy do the special effects (and Sarah Connor's badassery) still hold up. #sciencefiction #films #movies #terminator

Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.
