Hi. As a mother and grandma, I understand the joy of seeing photos of my kids/granddaughter. But experts recommend NOT putting these on social media www.familyeducation.com/kids/safety/... Best to delete this!

I don't even appreciate when my own family make me take out my earbuds, never mind some stranger who I have ZERO interest in 'connecting' with 😏

Religion is nothing but childish superstition, akin to believing in fairies and leprechauns. It should not exist in the 21st century. It kills me that anyone still thinks you need religion to have a moral code. Kills me even more that religious people so often have the worst moral codes.

Sorry guys, not you personally, but yes, many people around the world aren't thrilled by America right now. People ask me Why do you care? I care because in the rest of the world there are copycats once the US normalises crap. The shit that happens there spreads here.

When it comes to popes, apparently the bar for 'woke' is extremely low. Still, at least it wasn't a hard-line conservative

Unsolicited perhaps but an important piece of advice! Pacing is critical, in any text, but especially in fiction. How well an author controls the ebb and flow of the reader's emotions is what makes or breaks a book (for me).

In a corporate/tech context, other people mostly provide the info/knowledge. The planning, structuring, writing & editing to translate it into a book always came easy to me. But I feel like I couldn't write a novel if my life depended on it! My mind goes into total freeze if I even contemplate it!

It's not about money. I wrote between 100 and 200 books during my career, but as they were corp. & tech books, published under a company brand or ghost-written under someone else's name, I never felt like a real 'writer'. When I wrote one short book under my own name I finally felt like a writer.

Thanks for the link. I had not heard of the term 'processing fluency' but the concept is familiar. Interesting but sadly not very reassuring....

Well I still feel that whether we like it or not AI is part of life now, so at least some of us will have to hone our AI-BS detection skills. But true, it's unlikely to change how the Kool-Aid drinkers treat information.

527% on the use of run-on sentences, they annoy me beyond all measure.

Theory: AI continues to hallucinate. The more we use AI, the better we will get at distinguishing hallucinations (lies) from correct info (truth). We'll learn to read the 'tells'. As we hone this skill, we get better at identifying fake news, weakening its influence.... Too much to hope for?

I guess nobody actually really knows what will happen, supply chains being so complex. And trump's not finished coming up with insane new ideas so who knows what's down the line. We'll just have to wait and see! Chaos, that's what they want 🙄

Given that iPhones are made in China, and given that demand will fall in the US due to the tariffs-->high prices, would that mean that the price of iPhones in Europe will drop?

Yes.

BTW, while I often receive free digital books, I do not get paid or accept payment for reviews and there are no affiliate links or ads on my blog. I read and review books because I enjoy doing so, not for money!

Having a good excuse to buy a few new pans is one of the best parts! We're getting a siemens hob. Just need to be careful I don't ruin my pans by overheating, like I did on gas. Ruined a pricey 'buy for life' French sauté pan...

Electrician coming tomorrow to put in the wiring to replace our gas with induction. I'm quite excited by the whole thing 😁

I loved iZombie. And Santa Clarita Diet. And TWD (before Negan ruined it). Has it really been 10 years? None of today's zombie shows or books are as good as the ones from the 2010s.

He wasn't a 'good' pope, maybe a slightly 'less bad' pope. Nothing truly good could be expected of him. Still conservative AF and a defender of the indefensible. In other words, still a pope. A Catholic. How we still have religion, aka superstition and magical thinking, in the 21stC beats me.
