Forever curious. Old engineer and newish writer. Retired, and living in Catalunya, Spain. Disability never stopped me.
Belugas are one of the most social animals in the ocean. They live in tight family pods, communicate through a wide range of clicks and whistles, and have facial muscles flexible enough to produce something close to a human smile.
According to the swimming pool, we had about 15 cm (6 inches) of rain last night here in El Vendrell, Spain. Luckily no flood at our house.
Rejection Day the other day, sort of. Got a rejection of somebody else's story. Still wondering how mine is doing. Will let you know when the editor lets me know!

Double acceptance day - two of my stories will appear in the June issue of Blink-Ink!
I don't use any generative AI. A statistical word-string vending machine offers me nothing useful creatively and nothing trustworthy as research. The environmental impact is appalling and these companies stole copyright intellectual property knowing that's illegal. GenAI is dishonest at every level.
One of my earliest stories is very much like this reality. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
AI agents are hiring human 'meatspace workers' — including some scientists
Biologists, physicists and computer scientists have joined a platform called RentAHuman.ai to advertise their skills.

Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.
My latest acceptance is up at 50-Word Stories! Hope you enjoy it.

The Heart Nebula tonight from Sant Sadurní de l’Huera, Spain.
East Veil Nebula from Sant Sadurní de l’Huera, Spain. This is ten minutes worth of stacked images, which took about half an hour to gather.
