And there are story oracles ranging from Rory's Story Cubes, to full blown RPGs, to various tables people put up on the Internet. Interpreting those and welding them into your story in progress can be kind of fun. And get you moving.

Oh yeah. And then there are the movies. Look at how much HAARP and weather manipulation got into conspiracy spaces after The Core.

Reading it is one thing, "seeing" it is a whole different thing.

Watched it repeatedly while recovering from sinus surgery. Time well spent.

The way my first case of Covid affected me (like a concussion) scared me. Still masking and taking steps.

You assume media literacy on their part.

I love that you folks are covering this, but why are the residents not yelling at their federal representatives over this? In loud organized groups?

Ah, jeez.
That's nearby and I'd heard about it, but didn't know it was linked to AI.

Just because he's a bit informed about Iran, they had him write this codswallop.

Please stick to writing about Iran.

Ah, Benny Thompson. Glad he was my congressman when I was in Mississippi. Kind of miss him.

Welp, that looks familiar, right down to the gifted program in public school.

So, feral goblin.

Huh, given my height I'd say feral hobgoblin.

@funranium.bsky.social this strikes me as your kind of thing.

God, yes! Took me years to stop summarizing, or using the 5 ⁋ format or trying to look for an idea or theme. Finally, I learned to put quick exec summary of the review as the first ⁋ and then wax enthusiastic.
Also, a good way to help set the book in my mind.

I know I wrote reviews for Hellions.
Goes and checks about Rebellion. Nope, time to fix that. It'd be worth a reread.

God bless Moe. Sometimes you need a pissed off raptor to get the point.

The dystopian fiction it writes itself...

Yay! Thank you. I think it was your 2023 one I read and convinced me to a) buy and read Liberty's Daughter and b) to follow you.

I am impressed. The turkey wasn't rendered to burnt bones and was notionally edible.

But also - THERMITE!

This.
THIS.
THIS!

I remember this from 19 years ago and the stress it caused my wife.
