(3) Is it real, or is it (Memorex) AI? I can’t say, as it emulates a creole I’m not familiar with. This—I suspect—can only be determined by native Trinidadian people.

(2) Almost simultaneously, this news broke on The Guardian: www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

When someone who follows you has 26K followers, 27.1K following, but only 18 posts. . . Tell me you're a bot by not telling me you're a bot. (And I estimate that at least 25K of that number is bots following bots. Soon there will be no room for actual humans on BlueSky, or any other social media.)

It’s that point in writing where you are not writing much, but where you slowly, yet inevitably get the exact theme of what you’re writing about clear. When you *KNOW* what it’s about. The rest is a matter of packaging.

It is very tiring how hotels find excuses to cancel your prepaid (luckily fully refundable) booking when they find out it's during a total solar eclipse (and they think can get better prices). It's why I book on separate sites. Fight fire with fire. Wish it wasn't necessary. #solareclipse #travel

I’ve been busy and pretty much offline this week. Anyway, here’s part 15 of my most ambitious novel so far: jetse.substack.com/p/the-three-... #consciousness #sciencefiction #novel #SpaceOpera #hardSF #ambitious

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Exactly 💯

The Colorado River is drying up. Why? An internal Exxon memo from 1979 predicted that, without a reduction in the use of fossil fuels, "the flow of the Colorado River would diminish and the southwest water shortage would become much more acute."

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

Hopefully, with Orban losing bigly in Hungary, we have turned a corner. Trump—by way of JD Vance—trying to influence this election has backfired. Now the EU can fully support Ukraine (no vetos) and gradually wean itself off US influence, which will take years, but has definitely begun.

The previous post was the closing post on the my essay about the working of consciousness, this one’s foreshadowing the alien variety: jetse.substack.com/p/the-three-... #alien #consciousness #sciencefiction #firstcontact

Hey, FIFA! You need to cancel all World Cup games scheduled to be played in the United States and redistribute those games to be played either in Canada or in Mexico. The US must be sanctioned! #StopTrump

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time. Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end. We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.

The City of Pittsburgh just passed legislation banning cooperation with ICE. The vote was unanimous. 🎉🎉🎉

Kamala Harris warned everyone. Hillary Clinton warned everyone. Both were ignored and now the entire world is in imminent danger. I’ll never regret voting for them.

say what you want about South Korea, at least THEY got their president impeached and thrown in prison for trying to do some bullshit

Tech bros are poisoning the world's water supplies to run a product nobody wants.

Uruguay generates nearly 43% of its electricity from wind and solar. In 2010, the share was less than 1%. Most of the rest if hydro. Today, Uruguay produces nearly 99% of its electricity from renewable sources. More here www.forbes.com/sites/kensil...

One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government. We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today. If not, they must be replaced.

Scotland temporarily ran entirely on wind power as turbines generated over 200 percent of national electricity demand.
