Thinking about my sci-fi horror short story today so I might as well yell about it. If you like Alien, Event Horizon, and other such stories, you might like this one about a robot who has never done anything wrong in his life ever #scifi #booksky #shortstory

This came to us in a dream.
A giant erupting volcano. An enormous turkey the size of a mountain is emerging from the center. The turkey is holding a fire extinguisher in one wing and a turkey fryer pot in the other. The text reads: The Thanksgiving volcano! Nobody likes The Thanksgiving Volcano. Fry your turkey safely. Follow the directions for your fryer. Only fry a turkey outside and away from your home or other flammable materials. Never use turkey fryers in an enclosed area like the garage or porch. Stand by your turkey!

Keep sailing fellas.
A father and son sailing on the ocean. They are riding on a platter of a whole cooked turkey. The sea is stormy, and the sky is grey. A smoke alarm light house is in the distance. Fire extinguisher birds sail overhead. A smaller boat of CPSC safety characters sails nearby. The son says, "I'm getting us to Thanksgiving, Dad." The father replies, "I'm proud of you, son! This bird smells amazing." The text reads: Had that dream again last night where dad was proud of me for sailing the Thanksgiving turkey home. Stand by your pan. There are more home fires on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year.

Love to see community action against this AI nonsense! neighborhoodview.org/2025/11/13/d...
As one Massachusetts school administrator recently said; this moment with AI is remarkably like the moment when we were introduced to asbestos. Yes, it had some remarkably promising characteristics – fireproofing! – and had some real utility in science, research, and industrial applications. But a profit-driven industry bullied us into inserting it everywhere; into our homes and schools and public spaces, before we really understood the risks. This resulted in decades, if not centuries, of illness, injuries, deaths, and the astronomical financial burden of trying to remove the stuff. As you, the leaders and policymakers in our schools, craft an AI policy for our district, we the undersigned call on you to: 1. Ban AI tools into the classroom, protect our students and teachers from de-skilling and allow them the space and time to engage in assignments themselves. 2. Resist any direct financial relationship or contracts with AI providers, as well as the “training” they might offer. 3. Provide a digital literacy curriculum to help students navigate the current digital landscape, and promote critical engagement with technology. 4. Guarantee that anywhere generative AI has already entered our classrooms or curriculum, an opt-out will allow students and teachers to refuse the use of these products at no risk to their grades, progress or employment.

Silhouettes of three people talking in a boardroom. The male presenting person on the left says "What are you doing this weekend?". The femme presenting person in the middle says "I'm going to the Farmer's Market with my girlfriend.". And the male presenting person on the right said "I'm going skiing in Aspen.". Beneath them is text reading "But John wasn't going skiing in Aspen. He was committing white collar crimes. Don't be like John. Buy a book instead."

When you write a book where one of the two main characters is a musician, you have to share her playlist. I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.
