Our brain waves have more complex shapes than we thought. Recently, neuroscientists measured a menagerie of traveling waves, including ones that look like spiraling vortices. www.quantamagazine.org/surprisingly…

Not thrilled to be in October, which on top of presenting the hurdles of my birthday and the tenth anniversary of my autism diagnosis this year also has me paying the $88 electric bill myself because of a gap in available energy assistance funding.

The DOJ is reviewing "whether the special prosecutor’s office that investigated the famed Watergate break-in committed misconduct, according to people familiar with the matter, more than half a century after that scandal led to Nixon’s resignation."

The lineup construction was questionable too. The team was rolling with Sogard, Rafaela, Abreu and Contreras batting 1-4, but they chose to break that up when players returned from injury. Anthony should not have hit leadoff. Cedanne should not have hit 5th. #RedSox

I just need to talk about how utterly grim that top comment is. If you truly are at a point where some computer is making you feel that it knows your tastes better than anyone around you. Then you need to find other people to talk to. This isn’t even about just music. This is raw human …

Three posts each one commenting on the one below it Text of them reads as follows
claude actually recommends better music to me and more aligned with my taste than basically any human or other algo does. idk what to tell you, hyper personalization is pretty good actually.

I really do think tech crossed a line at some point between "helping you do the things you want to do" on the one hand, and "helping you do the things tech wants you to do" on the other. At this point, we're all contorting ourselves to live how the tech industry thinks we should be living.

My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere
