“DEVOURING TOMORROW: Fiction From The Future Of Food” is an anthology I co-edited with @jeffdupuis.bsky.social

“How will we feed ourselves in the future?”

The authors knocked this premise out of the park!

DEVOURING TOMORROW is Available Now!

The front and back cover of DEVOURING TOMORROW. The front cover is light green with a yellow title font and a “glitchy” apple dripping fluorescent yellow slime.

NEW: Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the Recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.

I wasn't surprised that my post about not loving the Golden Age sci-fi writers got a lot of... engagement. 😅

What *did* surprise me was that when I casually mentioned that Ray Bradbury was the lone exception, a ton of great writers chimed in to echo that sentiment.

So I dug deeper into why.

I write full time largely because of one thread about getting high with the Irish president. As cringe as it is to admit, my entire life has been massively enhanced by Twitter and ketamine over precisely the same time that those two things have proven less beneficial for Elon Musk.

Said it before and I’ll say it again:

I think MGT truly wants to run for office statewide in Georgia someday, and this is her way of laying the groundwork to do just that.

When I struggled with something writing-wise I take a walk. And 100% of the time I end up figuring out the solution. I would never, ever, ever, ask a machine to do that for me. Wtf.
