@FluentInFinance This doesn't sound anything like what I hear.

No one is saying OpenAI and Google are wining the AI war. Everyone is saying it's Anthropic.

Almost nobody talking about Chinese open models? Almost everybody is talking about it. I hear about it non-stop. 😀

Democrats: Let's pass a law against gerrymandering!

Republicans: No.

Also Republicans: We're going to gerrymander Texas without any citizen input to help Republicans win.

Democrats: Okay, then we'll let Virginia citizens vote on our gerrymandered districts and let democracy decide.

Republicans: 😭 They're breaking the rules and destroying our democratic norms!

This review of my latest novel "Submerged" came in a couple of days ago. 😍 You can find it on Amazon, Kobo, Apple Books, and Spotify. And it's available as ebook, print, or audio.

@rpaulo I haven't seen such a claim, but it's been feared for a long time. Martin is 77 and he's said there are at least two books left and I only think it's reasonable to expect one more to be published. Partly that situation and partly the story itself made me not finish A Dance with Dragons. I've looked back a few times but it's not wearing on me. There are so many great books to read! Right now I'm excited about Death of a Red Heroine by Qiu Xiaolong and the works of Pat Cadigan.

The pandemic had all sorts of effects. I doubled my reading in 2020, with for instance two of George R. R. Martin's thick novels in the Game of Thrones series. During the work from home years I got an incredible boost in cardio fitness because I did a lot of running. #bookstodon

My next newsletter issue will feature photos and impressions from my trip to Hong Kong, a.k.a. Cyberpunk Ground Zero. I went to the grounds of Kowloon Walled City, the Monster Building, and the skyline and water from the diving scene in Ghost in the Shell. Don't miss out!
