So. We will now have Choose Your Own Adventure books for adults. I am righteously angry that some will be 'Reimagined' classics. Jane Austen!?

I wish the major television news shows would reserve a box at the bottom or top of the screen for closed captioning. Sometimes the captions cover info such as the name of the person being interviewed.

Its nice when old people like my spouse and I have friends who check on us. Several times a day, he gets a phone call. There's always a cheery greeting and a 'how are you doing today?' I try not to feel jealous. Someday I will meet Potential Spam and thank her for her solicitude of him.

So. What is safe to buy and eat in the US right now? Tainted produce. Metal bristles in processed food. Salmonella eggs and chicken. Trust lost is hard to regain.

Aug.2026. The startup publisher who takes AI or the publisher that starts an AI imprint is going to make millions. Many readers enjoy formulaic romance, detective, fantasy and Western fiction. Cheap quick reads. It could be created by interns inhouse. No need for writers, no royalties, no advances.

I do not think I will ever buy a bagged salad again. They were always a second choice. Convenient but always had a faint taste of the wash used to clean them. I miss having a fully functioning Federal Department of Agriculture. I relied on those inspectors.

Pardon my ignorance here. Serious question. Data centers use a huge amount of power and water which affects nearby communities. AI is really smart (I am told).Can AI work out how to reclaim and recycle the water, and how to use solar or wind to power these centers?

Levels of wealth. How much money do you have to squirrel away to feel safe? To feel wealthy? Is it okay if a bunch of people have a whole lot more money than you or does that feel like you don't have enough? Trying to understand why some folks want more and more and more.

Something nice for a Monday. An app I really enjoy is PuctureThis. Take a photo of a plant. It tells you what it is. Tree names I never bothered to learn. Weed names. Wild flowers. Invasive plants. Knowing something's name is a very old magic.

In March, 2025, US District Judge James Boasberg ordered that a plane of Venezuelan deportees headed for El Salvador must stop. Kristi Noem ignored his order. Judge Boasberg attempted to file Criminal Contempt charges. Judge Michelle Childs, Federal Appeals Court ordered it ended. Names to remember.

For sf and fantasy writers who go to cons: do you have a set criteria for deciding which cons to attend? How do you decide in the cost versus benefits scale? How big a criteria is 'fun'?

Wondercon is over. It was the best organized con I have been to in years! You could get the schedule on your phone OR look up panels etc in a slender printed out program book. So easy for me. A volunteer helped me get to my panels and signings on time. Original art and goods in the dealers rooms.
