Little Mind Huge Ego
After a conversation with a family member I jumped on the interwebs and searched for “Elon Musk Path of Exile 2” and it was everything I was told and more. I highly recommend doing the same search if you haven’t already heard about it.Here’s the background: Path Of Exile 2 is an APG (Action Role…

This is NOT helping me write
“Autocorrect” is getting more and more dangerous. I’m realizing now that we’re in this age of forced AI that after decades of writing fiction I have developed an expert level of finding normal typos and errors when I’m rereading/editing my work.

From all reports, FB…

Health is Health
We have one body and Health Care should cover all of it. People struggling with their mental health deserve care. A developed nation should be providing it as a matter of course. (Looking at you United States because well, there is no Health Care here.)
