A couple of weeks ago I was chatting w/ a friend who works in cybersecurity. She knows I write scifi horror about hackable brain implants, & told me I was doing God's work by going to those dark places w/ my plot. "Terrify them," she told me.

Second cup of coffee. Real world is fading... I'm in a basement place in my mind, where the story takes over. Where I don't care about writing better than others or better than AI. Me against myself, hands on the keyboard. Let's go.

Neuralink, Elon Musk, and the Race to Put Chips In Our Brains
Though brain chips are all over TV and the news now with Neuralink, scientists like those at Caltech have been working on the technology for decades. And some question Musk’s approach.

None of the cyberpunk novels in the world could have ever predicted the corporate takeover of America could be so stupid.
One day the president's favourite billionaire just walked into one agency at a time with a bunch of private security, said 'I run this now' and everyone just kinda shrugged.

Just discovered Octavia E. Butler. Parable of the Sower is incredibly dark but oddly uplifting at the same time. A testament to the human spirit in the face of dystopia. Relevant for our times.

I accidentally washed a navy blue towel with our white ones. I even added bleach to the cycle. Miraculously, the white towels are still bright white, & the blue towel is still blue. I feel unstoppable. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.
