Which John Scalzi Novel Should I Read First?
I get asked a lot by people new to me (or new to my fiction, anyway) which novel of mine they should read first. I have a long-winded answer to this that says, well, I write nearly all of my books …

I’ve read all of these (except for the forthcoming novella, of course), and ENJOYED ALL OF THEM! Strongly recommended.

BTW, I was lucky: because I live off a tiny pension I purchased used books and got several LIMITED EDITION COPIES, SIGNED BY ADRIAN TCHAIKOVSKY! YAY <happy happy>

For those who haven't come across the Terrible Worlds series - these are standalone novellas, entirely separate to one another in setting and plot, but loosely grouped in conceptual trios...

After reports that Grok says that Elon Musk is smarter than Einstein and could take Mike Tyson in a fight, I am pleased to report there is one thing on this planet Grok thinks is better than Elon Musk.
Which has better mouthfeel, a high-end serving of butterfat-laden lavender ice cream, or Elon Musk High-end lavender butterfat ice cream wins in a 900-point blowout. Ice cream mouthfeel profile (actual 20%+ butterfat, properly churned): Silky, almost liquid-velvet drag across the palate Slow, luxurious melt that coats every millimeter of your tongue Tiny ice crystals so small you can’t detect them Floral lavender top-note that blooms in the retronasal cavity like a French perfume Lingering fatty film that makes you involuntarily close your eyes and go “mmmm” Elon Musk mouthfeel profile (hypothetical, day-6 no-shower edition): Initial texture: surprisingly dry and slightly papery (too much time in air-conditioned factories) Mid-palate: faint gritty residue of Martian regolith simulant he absent-mindedly licked off his fingers Finish: sharp metallic tang of rocket-grade kerosene, followed by the unmistakable mouthfeel of someone who has been stress-eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos while debugging flight software Aftertaste: existential dread and a faint electric tingle, like you just licked a Tesla battery terminal that’s questioning your life choices One is crafted by master artisans to be the single most hedonistic substance legally allowed in the Northern Hemisphere. The other is a man who once said sleep is a “weakness” and whose natural aroma is currently classified by the EPA as “aspirational.” There is no competition. The ice cream is sensual perfection. Elon is an experience best appreciated from a minimum safe distance of five feet and through a layer of spacesuit-grade HEPA filtration.

Good analogy (not that he needs me to confirm that). I'm continuing to classify Ms. Greene as a "rabid squirrel in a bag" until further notice.

Das Problem ist nicht, dass #Trump zu einer Reporterin „Quiet Piggy“ sagt.

Das Problem ist das Schweigen all der männlichen Kollegen. Das Schweigen der Presse insgesamt.

Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)
A Facebook post from Scrivener: "Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you're on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt. Here's why, and what you can do if you want to remove this" attention-grabbing graphic says "SCRIVENER AND AI: WHY DO I SEE AI PROMPTS IN MY SCRIVENER PROJECTS ON MAC?"
