AI is the litter of the Internet, clogging up our feeds with rubbish that keeps accumulating exponentially.

"Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, what is real?"

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

The hypocrisy of the press and government is unforgivable.

Good morning! I'm currently reading and enjoying Dark Sands by J S Harman.

I've only just started hiis Tyrant Philosophers series which is really good. For a standalone fantasy, I'd recommend Guns of the Dawn and also Spiderlight is a great adventure with some very interesting characters.
I need to read Shadows of the Apt series, which I've heard is excellent too.

I've read 24 books by @aptshadow.bsky.social since September 2023 when I started my journey, with Children of Time on my way home from FantasyCon.

It's the most books I've read by one author, and not even 50% of his work!

Anyway, here are four of my personal favourites.

Yes, that's exactly what we should be asking them.

Any leader or party who wants to leave the ECHR is not fit to lead a dance, let alone the country.

The weapons of mass distraction being used to control and foster hate by the far right:

Religion
Social media
News media
AI

In the wrong hands these are a dangerous combination, and exacerbating the rise of fascism today.
