Watching the "Be Right Back" episode of Black Mirror after knowing more about chat bots is wild.

The cover of ROOT MAGIC on a light and dark green background, strewn with foliage. Young Black twins (boy and girl) stand back to back in the middle of a marsh of blue, yellow and green mist lined with trees and reeds. She is holding a book, and her doll is peeking out of the pocket of her blue dress. He is wearing dark blue overalls and holding a bottle of magic potion and had a mojo bag around his neck. Text reads: "A must-read, sure to leave readers wishing for more after the final page." -Booklist (starred review) Root Magic A Walter Award Honor Book Eden Royce "Black Girl Magic has never been more powerful" - Ronald L. Smith, author of Hoodoo

My debut novel ROOT MAGIC is a great intro for both kids & adults to Hoodoo and Gullah Geechee culture, full of historical events, folklore, & rootwork.

If you're looking for a book about making a way when there’s no way, I hope you'll get a copy!

It's amazing how much time seems to pass fast while playing The Somnium Files. One moment it's 11 pm, the next it's 2:30 am.

Note to self: don't play The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy before bed.

Flins is fun so far. I just need to build up Ororon and Aino a little bit.

I don't know about the rest of the book but I will confidently say that the ending of The Edge of Space-Time is actually pretty great and I am proud of it

Which is good because first pass pages are in, which means I have to read the book for the nth time

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Substituted reading, gaming, and chores for Doom scrolling and my anxiety subsiding a little. I highly recommend it.

Prince George’s County Residents Speak Out Amid Plans For Massive Data Center A task force to examine the feasibility of a hyperscale data center in the predominantly Black suburb was created in May.

Nearly 300 residents and advocates showed up *in the rain* to protest plans for a massive data center in their community

Leaders listened and there's a pause on development, for now

Billionaires spend more on these groups than they would spend on taxes if this country actually adhered to a Democratic platform. So, I'm assuming that it's no longer greed and these donors hate minorities.

Colossus 2: in Tennessee, Mississippi… or both? Things get more confusing once factoring-in a Greater Memphis Chamber statement in May that no turbines would be sited in Memphis. They’re not lying. Memphis and Tennessee have been getting a lot of pushback, so xAI’s genius move was to develop a Gigawatt-scale energy hub right across the border in Southaven, Mississippi. In mid-2025, the company acquired a former Duke Energy power plant in Southaven. Shortly after, Mississippi regulators granted xAI temporary approval to run gas turbines there for up to 12 months without a permit!

Mind-blowing post detailing how xAI is not only building a massive new fossil fuelled power station for the second data centre to power X's Grok, it is doing it across state lines to avoid regulation

Remind me again how it's all fine bc a single query is small...
