It's always interesting to me that when the price of oil jumps, gas stations immediately raise gas prices despite the fact that there is a six-week lag between buying oil/refining and delivery of the gas to the station. However, when oil prices go down, it takes a long, long time to drop gas pricesโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s not your imagination. Digital devices โ€“ the whole internet, in fact โ€“ is getting worse. Itโ€™s the enshittification of everything. This video from the Norwegian Ad Council explains everything. You'll laugh, you'll cry...

Available now at your favorite digital store! Consumed: a horror and dark fiction anthology by John Ward

And now the book is finally hitting good (and bad) bookstores next week. The variety and depth of the stories in consumed is pretty varied, but that just makes it a better read. I hope youโ€™ll check it out books2read.com/consumed-ant...

This is wonderful to see. Brad and his team put a huge amount of care and effort into curating this list and Iโ€™m incredibly honored to be included.

Iโ€™ve already received multiple read requests from major companies via Brad, as well as from industry folks reaching out directly and via mutuals.
