Brand new short-short story for your reading pleasure. "Chlorophyllis" is in NATURE. A prank temporarily turns a student green. The magazine editor brilliantly scheduled it for today, St. Patrick's Day. nature.com/articles/d4158…

The death of useful headlines and the rise of clickbait continues: cnet.com/news/dont-skip… Does no one remember when headlines were supposed to be informative?

The death of headlines and the rise of clickbait continues. Diana Gabaldon's OUTLANDER deserves the praise, and she or OUTLANDER should be in the headline. Diana Gabaldon inverse.com/culture/scifi-…

MANHATTAN TRANSFER has been optioned (again) for TV. This time it's with Sky Conway, who plans to produce a pilot episode and then either continue in a low-budget vein or make a deal with a major. Fingers crossed, again. 🙂 He plans to use the title SKYJACKED.

Remember to stop and sniff the flowers. People in our circle of friends, and many around the world, are facing tough challenges. Despite that, many have things to be thankful for. Scamp, pictured here in his natural habitat, is one of the things we're grateful for.

Part 7 of the Manhattan Transfer story is out now. This pretty much catches us up to the present, so the next installment may not be right away. amazingstories.com/2024/01/manhat…
