Close up of a remarkably attractive tortoiseshell cat. The right side of her face is black, the left ginger, and she has long white whiskers and delightful green-gold eyes with a sardonic expression.

The Squoof says it is morally, ethically, politically and psychologically expedient to gaze upon a picture of a beautiful cat from time to time. And therefore she nobly offers herself for your improvement.

Editor creates an AI executive who is "an expert at building and scaling digital media companies." Decides within minutes that the AI is "one of the most knowledgeable and energetic colleagues" he's ever had. Asks the AI to create a headshot of itself. It does. He sexually harasses it immediately.

Decided to peruse Bluesky in the aftermath of the Congressional address last night. Now feeling sick and have a headache. I'll be back later but need to take a break.

Mark Essex: The fires we ignore God gave Noah the rainbow sign, β€˜No more water, the fire next time!’ β€”James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time It was close to midnight on New Year’s Eve 1972, and a body and bullet shells lay in front of NO...

When I think of Luigi Mangione, I think of how in '70s NOLA, a Black man went on shooting spree against the NOPD... & people cheered him on.

The shooter was Mark Essex.

Two years later, and I still think this story is one of the best things I've written.

Huh? If only there were places in the world where you could discover new books and new to you books, talk with people who are enthusiastic about reading & happy to help you celebrate your fandom? Well, that's probably madness.
