I'm a know-it-all. I don't mean it that way but I am because things become my special interests and it's like a burning urge to mither on about it ad nauseam. But I kinda love it because I love being a dweeb.

Saw this non-existent book when I googled myself. Is this an AI hallucination or something? I never wrote anything by this title and it says that, yet gives it a year and a description (using bits of my other works).

The Boy with Two Faces
Book by Nnedi Okorafor
Overview
There is no book titled The Boy with Two Faces by Nnedi Okorafor; the search results refer to a book called Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor, which was published in March 2020. This novel explores themes of domination, Al, and genocide through two interconnected storylines, one of which features a character named Zelu.

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

Scientists spot potential new class of black hole stars

In Tyrnasìth, Mab is posited to be a unique type of "quasi star" (a hypothetical star that may have existed early in the evolution of the universe). She's unique in that she's sentient and still living.

Naeema's family never had the opportunity to get verified and shared by Molly Shah - and now I doubt it will be possible since they don't have Bluesky anymore 🙁

so it's always hard to get donations for my friends Haneen & Naeema & their family 😞

please help if you can 🙏🏽💜
