turns out having 100+ chapters in a book makes the TOC quite long 😅 I have now added a "collapse all/expand all" button to www.feaz-book.com to help with that issue

You know the "🔹AI Overview" you get on Google Search?

I discovered today that it's repeating as fact something I made up 7 years ago as a joke.

"Kyloren syndrome" is a fictional disease I invented as part of a sting operation to prove that you can publish any nonsense in predatory journals...

Two reminders for people who are new here.

To increase followers and engagement, remember to fill out your bio and add a picture so people know who they're following.

If you want to amplify a post, don't just like it, repost it. Unlike that other place, likes are only seen by the original poster.

This echo chamber nonsense is predicated on the notion that bigotry is a valid perspective. It isn’t. Grow up! Think better!
