This is my 1st time in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (I just never thought to submit there, heh).

My story is called “The Apology Tour” & it’s set in the world of DEATH OF THE AUTHOR. It's about the consequences of AI. Plus, you meet Ijele for the 1st time, imagine that, 😉.
A copy of the issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction that I got from Barnes & Noble. I am holding it as I sit in my car. The Apology Tour By Nnedi Okorafor HER LEFT EYE TWITCHED AND SHE wanted to slap the side of her face. But how would that look in front of all these people? She bristled at the thought and focused on the open book sitting on the podium before her. Her book. Her memoir. She'd lost her place. Shit, she thought. Ever since updating her glasses with progressive lenses, she'd been having this problem. They were supposed to have the opposite effect. She didn't think she'd ever get used to wearing glasses. Why would she? At sixty-four, she'd never worn glasses or contacts in her entire life, until the last year. She glanced up at her audience and softly laughed. She heard them all sigh, several people grinning back at her. Adoration. Interest. Despite it all. A big profile piece on 60 Minutes called her "The Stoic Unicorn." She had this. She'd had it for the past year, since her book was released directly into fanfare and instant bestseller status. And none of it had been surprising, considering who she was and what she'd written about. She was one of the most infamous people on the planet. Standing up here before two hundred people and reading from her book should have been the easy part. Her left eye twitched again and she grasped the sides of the podium. Then both of her eyes found her place and she continued reading. "Could I forgive myself, though? I created it. Then I perfected it. I was a top-tier engineer at Intelligent Robotics. I was a rarity in too many ways to list. I knew it. I was proud of it. I was on salary. I was doing... my job. What I'd been hired to do. But this project was my baby. It was my idea; it came out of my head. I am driven, ambitious, smart. Potential is worthless until realized into being. I am a doer. So I stayed up nights, researching, compiling, researching, digesting, thinking, theorizing, researching, testing and testing. I ignored my husband, my children, my grandchildren. I dropped out of their lives for those months. Ifocused razor.. blade sharp. Because I knew." She paused Why do I always read this part? But she knew that, too. It was what everyone wanted to hear. They would read her whole book. Yes. They wanted to know her full story. Yes. They were interested in her life, how she got here, to this place in time. Yes. They would do that on their own. Yes. However, right now, in this moment, on this book tour, they wanted to hear that hitch in her throat. See that frown on her brow. That pain. That guilt. Her left eye twitched, again. They couldn't see the twitching that had been plaguing her since the start of her book tour three months ago. If they could, they would enjoy, feel unburdened and refreshed by that, too. "I knew I could... wake it up. The singularity was right in my hands. I just needed to complete the alchemy in the coding. That's how I saw it. As alchemy. As I did it, I knew what I was doing. Tunnel vision did not limit my awareness of what it meant to create awareness. I knew. And..." She sighed and looked at her audience. They were waiting for it. It's therapy, she thought, not for the first time. Then she spoke the words, letting them tumble from her lips like heavy stones, "I'm sorry." She shut the book loudly, imagining a cloud of dust puffing up from its pages as if it were some ancient tome and she were the ghost of a sacrificed creature cursed long ago to read it forever. Stuck in the role of massaging the kinks out of the world's tense back. For creating something she couldn't have resisted creating the moment the path became clear to …

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.
The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported. Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city. His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you. We will not accept this intimidation. That Trump included praise for Eric Adams in his authoritarian threats is unsurprising, but highlights the urgency of bringing an end to this Mayor’s time in City Hall. At the very moment when MAGA Republicans are attempting to destroy the social safety net, kick millions of New Yorkers off of healthcare and enrich their billionaire donors at the expense of working families, it is a scandal that Eric Adams echoes this President’s division, distraction and hate. Voters will resoundingly reject it in November.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."
The real surprise came after the experiment. Fred Lambert, who writes for the blog Electrek, pointed out the same autopilot disengagement that the NHTSA had documented. “Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before the impact as the crash becomes inevitable,” Lambert noted.

The White House said it's reached deals with nine law firms to provide about $1 billion in pro bono services. But the details of those agreements remain murky.

WATCH: “What light is out? There’s no light out. We can all see.”

NASHVILLE folks show @TNHighwayPatrol & ICE are lying about their reasons for stopping Hispanic people as they raid and terrorize immigrant communities with @GovBillLee’s blessing.

Massachusetts neighbors tried to stop ICE from ripping away a mother who was with two children, including a newborn baby.

The agents had no warrant.

Those who want “illegals” to uphold the law should start by upholding it themselves.

This is vile, cruel, and unforgivable. Period.
