This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.
Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?
My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle. I have no idea how long this sale will last.

Leak of F-35 scoring chart puts pressure on Carney to select U.S. aircraft
RCAF and DND officials leak positive F-35 report to pressure Canadian prime minister to select F-35
Do these planes have that cool feature where you can disable them from a distance with a command? Because America shoving this Tesla-esque bird down everyoneβs throat *and* being unhinged simultaneously makes me think they could take out squadrons with a keystroke.

Say 15 boats: thatβs 39,307 kg per boat (approximately 7 male African elephants).
At 1250 kg/m^3, thatβs 31.44 m^3. An average home is 35 m^3.
So youβre telling me 15 houseboats with 7 elephantsworth of cocaine were sunk to save 100,000,000 people?
The states has 300 million. So thatβs 1 in 3?

Jesus, thatβs a lot of cocaine on such small boats.
LD50 of cocaine: 95.1 mg/kg
Average human mass: 62 kg
Cocaine needed to kill 1 person: 5.896 grams.
For coffee at 180 mg/kg, itβs double the strength.
So for 100,000,000 people, thatβs 589,620 kg of cocaine needed to kill them

My partner has a Bulova for that era, and went to a Horologist in town. He was able to take off the back, reset the overtightened winding mechanism that prevented it from working, and provide a rough repair history.
