Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

As my son pointed out to me, Musk's AI knows what a naked child looks like so it must have trained on pictures of naked children. He doesn't want that confirmed.

After what Trump has done in the past 12 months, there is zero reason for any nation to ever agree to another deal with the USA.

You would have to be Australian Govt level of stupid to do so.

I'm glad to see that my prediction, that motor racing would consist of self-driving electric cars and the spectators would all be robots, hasn't come to fruition yet.

I agree. Look at everything Musk has promised and failed to deliver. There is no indication that he had any intention of attempting to do them.

There was never a chance that 5 Starships were going to Mars this year, never mind people or colonies. He has no intention of putting a factory on the moon

I would argue they knew exactly what they were doing, which was deliberately sabotaging needed public works programs by offering snake oil they never had any intention of delivering.

It could be said that the centuries long conflict between England and France was a war over resources. England is one part of a small island and expansionism was motivated, in part, by the knowledge that raw materials were finite.

Music the Devil Cannot Hear is set to the backdrop of the 1382 Peasants' Revolt and includes many real historical events.

The WIP, A Morris Minor on Mars, is set in the 2050s and the Mars transit windows narrow down certain events to time frames within a month.

He's already told us that he thinks they are lovers. Why would anyone think he had changed his mind about that?

Thomas Halyard was a competitive card player (Tarot games), an artist and a football coach.

But, truth be told, he finds conquering the world with dark magic to be more fun and relaxing than any if those.

Trump and Pete Hogsex are emulating Putin. The intent is cruelty, death and destruction. Daily war crimes, against children.

Yes, I really like Bluesky. And I've learned a lot about writing. When I do eventually get my shit together and start marketing my books properly, the people on Bluesky will have contributed a lot to the quality. So, in that sense, this place will help me sell.

In the 14th and 15th centuries they are already starting to see the problem of finite resources with wood. In the first book, we see wood prices rising because of the expansion of shipping. Wood is also the only way of creating a fire to process the iron.

1. I don't have a marketing budget
2. I wouldn't know where to begin even if I did.
3. Although I love my books I suspect they are more or less unsellable. (and that's OK).

I used to sell a few books on Twitter but I haven't sold a single solitary book through Bluesky. Not one. So the experience is different for different people. I like Bluesky for other things and I'm not going back to any other platform.

But for selling books, Bluesky is a bust.

If AI is being used to conduct war, then AI data centres become military and terrorist target. As they are also used to generate CSAM, they also will be targets for people who care about the well-being if children.

Folding xAI into Spacex makes all Spacex infrastructure a target.

A man is about to become the world's first trillionaire based mostly on empty promises and pie in the sky sci-fi fabulism. He is soaking up money that might fund serious space projects, which might be profitable, but not so profitable as scams.
