The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
What a tragic ending for the historical studio of Casablanca. Jack Warner and his bros must be spinning in their graves. Glad I kept my DVDs π«€

Black and white photo of a scruffy little longhaired tuxedo tabby kitten, it looks ginger to me. It is sitting close in front of an enormous old television set with its head turned back toward the camera as if waiting for someone to turn the tv on. This is taking place in a living room type setting, the kitten sitting on a throw rug on a wooden floor.
Somebody turn this dang thing on. Photo from my collection, 1956.
Be safe #NovaScotia friends!

We say goodbye to Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker Robert Duvall.
With a career spanning over seven decades, Duvall's storytelling transcended mediums and generations of audiences β as he delivered a range of unforgettable performances.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

On this National Flag Day, the Maple Leaf flies at half-mast.
Today our flag carries a message for the community of Tumbler Ridge: Canada is with you.

Kindle Unlimited kind of sucks for some authors right now. Thank AI slop and boycotts, as two of the reasons. My advice? Go wide.
Yay, NOPE. #NovaScotia

Guess I picked a good time to (semi) retire. So much for historical romance. How tragic.
AI slop (like mentioned
In the recent NYT article) is just one of the reasons Iβm semi-retiring from writing. Add in Amazon/KU, trad publishing, the state of the world etcβ¦Iβm exhausted π«€

Good morning to everyone who writes their own goddamn romance novels, using their messy human brain, because thatβs where the good shit comes in and we all know it
