heh.
gerry cnavan says: "the part of the star wars mythos where the incompetent elites who failed to stop the system from sliding into fascism simply go into hiding and do nothing waiting for a bunch of kids to grow up and fix the problem themselves hits pretty hard right now."

Goose isn’t nearly that organized. Why bother when a curse will solve all ills?

something that may make you feel better... have you seen these headlines?
headline from MoneyWeek: AI is a big nothing. Stocks are in a bubble and the most likely outcome is a big fall. headline from Technology: AI is a Mass-Delusion Event. Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it. LA Times headline: Commentary: Say farewell to the AI bubble, and get ready for the crash. The AI frenzy has been fueled by relentless hype, but the dud launched by OpenAI has its former enthusiasts wondering if they’ve been take headline Barron’s: The Tech Stocks Selloff Spells Trouble for the AI Trade. Why Markets Are Twitchy. Software stocks get hammered, railroad CSX faces mounting pressure, Fed’s July meeting minutes are coming, and more news to start your day.

text reads: lot of negativity towards Al lately, but consider: are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No. *but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no. *but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no. maybe you're not being negative *enough*

image of the cover for Persephone Station with a clip from a review. “Skilled worldbuilding, great characters. Kidnapping, mercenaries, and murder, and that’s just the beginning. Tightly woven tale of mech armor, secrets, corporate shenanigans, and some angry people with large guns. 10/10, will read again.” —GoodReads Reviewer

image of Loki’s Ring cover with the text, "Epic space opera! Delivered on all of my expectations. I loved the multiple points of view, the intergalactic political intrigue, unique personalities and relationships, unknown contagions, and new exciting beings and worlds! This had everything in it I could possibly want from this genre. I highly recommend this book to any sci-fi or even fantasy readers out there. I am definitely looking forward to more from this author in the future. She has another book like this one that she wrote previously and I will be adding that to my tbr list for sure."

and now, bathroom pics. before and after. it wasn’t easy to shape the wallpaper around all that and have it line up. so, it’s not perfect. but it’s far, far better than it was.
