Been a while. Busy writing the third chapter of my third novel, REDEMPTION'S PRICE, to Kurzel's Assassin's Creed soundtrack - what're you all up to?
Watching Nocturnal Animals - damned riveting so far.
Let's talk about A.I. and the fact that, barring a massive increase/boost in computing power, we are still very, very far away from enjoying/witnessing what 'it' can/will do.
What should A.I. be used for? How could its use be regulated?
David de Groot 𓆉My good friend, and fellow photographer, Mel Sinclair, has lost her house, and her dogs in a house fire this week. She is devastated (mostly at the loss of her dog, which is understandable).
A donation page has been set up here: https://www.gofundme.com/sinclair-house-fire-in-kenmore
If you have some spare dollars, she and her parents would greatly appreciate it.

We are raising money for John, Cheryl and Melanie Sinclair who today lost all they own in a house fire. As well as their 2 pet dogs Cowgirl and Bailey. It was their family home, unfortunately the insurance had lapsed, they have now been left destitute. Please every dollar counts, 100% of the fund...
My #introduction post:
I'm a bookseller and writer, in-between publishers and busy writing my third novel - also busy with what might become an important non-fiction project.
I'm a DC and Marvel fan, sometimes play guitar, and used to draw, before I began writing. Anything else about me, in short, is at http://davedeburgh.com
I really enjoyed Suicide Squad, but The Enchantress dancing all the time while summoning whatever remains hilarious... :) Have to wonder what was going through Cara's mind, set against that green screen, moving like that until the take was just right.
None The FewerI'm planning on learning more #ASL. We started picking up some signs for the kiddo, and I'm realizing that it's a useful language to know. Plus, kiddo is in the language-acquisition phase, and so maybe we can learn together.

Start Learning Sign Language (ASL 1 – Intro) – Start ASL
ASL 1 Introduction Learning sign language is so much fun! Unfortunately, many ASL classes are not taught correctly, expensive, and scheduled. The ASL classes on this website are much different. They are organized, straight to the point, fun, free, and at your own pace.
What a day. Shouldn't have had that energy-drink... Hope you're all well!
DelWhen I joined masto, I gravitated towards following creative peeps and noticed a thing that's pretty common to all of us: we feel guilty for promoting places that people can buy our work or otherwise support us financially. So I started the #CreativeToots hashtag for that very reason. Got an Etsy page? Online store? Patreon? Selling a piece of art? Throw that tag on it. Do it with unfettered abandon. Everyone else: Look at that tag for artists to support. Buy their stuff. Help them create. <3
