the appalachian mountains are older than saturn’s rings. the appalachian mountains are older than dinosaurs. the appalachian mountains are older than trees. the appalachian mountains are literally older than BONES. the appalachian mountains should be regarded with pure terror.

Wow! Finally some great publishing news. After hearing so many authors who had to literally pay Amazon $ because of suspicious ebook returns, this is a great thing.

After Severance blew the socks off of streaming, Apple TV comes through again with Bad Sisters. It also has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard from a TV show. Kudos! Apple TV Apple Music

This was inevitable. But just wait until AI starts doing the news. Then we'll be a real #dystopia. #WritingCommunity #scifi #Readers #AI #ChatGPT washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

I've watched two "Tomorrow" sci-fi movies. Edge of Tomorrow was great, but The Tomorrow War was so v, v bad. #scifi

This really needs to be addressed, "Investors bought 24% of all single-family homes in 2021, up from around 15-16% each year going back to 2012..." #HousingCrisis #wealthinequality #middleclass time.com/6261427/curren…
