Book 9 of 2026.
One of my close friends (who also happens to be dying of Parkinson's) pressed this book into my hands Tuesday and implored me to read it. I did. I don't recommend it. It's a diatribe and it is vitriolic. Reading American War (the author's other book) was a different story altogether.
Not for me. I choose broken American liberalism over fascism.
Is it or is it not a New Orleans story?

“One of the hallmarks of Western liberalism is an assumption, in hindsight, of virtuous resistance as the only polite expectation of people on the receiving end of colonialism …. But it’s a fiction, the most malicious kind: a fiction of moral convenience.”
— Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This (2025)

Just finished reading A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R. R. Martin. It’s great! Haven’t been back to this realm in several years. I wish there were more tales of Dunk and Egg.

https://www.booksns.com/196541/ Ranking the 24 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction Winners I’ve Read #books I’m currently trying to make my way down the list of all the Pulitzer Prize winners for fiction. It’s quite the daunting task and will likely take me until the end of the decade to complete. My goal was to read one book a week, but a lot of these are behemoths and I’ve accepted
Вышла-таки первая книжка от нашей команды. Не исключено, что в некоторых странах можно угодить в каталажку даже за чтение этого маллеуса малефикарума!

The book was good, its story compelling.
But the desire to close her eyes -- for just . . . one . . . moment . . . -- was stronger.

amazing piece but basically woke up in the middle of the night wondering about the unanswered question here: if book freak richard hell has been in the same wee spot since '74, what does he do when his shelves are full? does he have storage spaces like verlaine? does he deaccession at the strand? #nyc #books

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar. 13: Talk about an experience when you consulted an expert for a piece of writing.
For #ZackJackson 2, I wrote the Hayden Planetarium and asked specific questions about unprotected exposure to the vacuum of space. I never received a response. :/
#WordWeavers Mar. 13: Tell us about a quirk your SC has.
By modern standards Markos is not quirky at all. By Ancient Greek standards, being a level-headed even-keeled professional soldier, he's probably quirky because he treats a teenage girl with respect, consideration, and believes she should choose her own destiny.

Out now, The Crooked Medium's Guide to Murder - a spooky sapphic tender funny murder mystery.
I also wrote two cracking warm, heartfelt, smart SF novels that non SF readers also liked. Our Child of the Stars and Our Child of Two Worlds, about 60s US and a childless couple adopt a star child...

- Lange Batterielaufzeit
- Offene Formate, ich möchte nicht an einen Anbieter gebunden sein
- Einfaches Sync
- Einfach nur lesen, kein Schnickschnack
Nice to have:

Guess I should post a new introduction since I moved servers and this account has no posts at all 😛
I'm a developer/coder. I used to be very much into mobile development (both #iOS and #Android) using #Swift and #Kotlin. Now my main area of interest is digital creativity using #AI to generate art, text, and music.
I don't post a lot generally, but do daily postings of interesting papers from the cs.CV category on arXiv.org. So first thing in the morning, there will be a barrage of posts from me and then probably nothing much for the rest of the day 🙂
I also post a daily set of images based on my #StableDiffusion prompt of the day — I generate a bunch of images through the day based on a single prompt, pick the four best images (according to me) and post them the next day.
Other than that, I do boost a lot — #MachineLearning and #DeepLearning, #Writing, #AIArt, #Photographs, #Humour are probably the main topics of interest for me. But if I find anything interesting in the areas of #Books, #TV, #Movies, I'd boost those too 🙂
