Iโ€™ve been re-reading the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant series, 40 years after the first time. Currently on book 5 (The One Tree). One to go. I hadnโ€™t realized there was now a third Chronicles, so decided Iโ€™d better revisit the originals before starting on that.

A book that's an old favorite due for a reread

One of my favorite books in this category is Nor Crystal Tears by Alan Dean Foster. The first line is โ€œItโ€™s hard to be a larvaโ€

Day 20:

A book featuring a main character that isn't human

Iโ€™ve played every Call of Duty since the first oneโ€ฆ but only ever for the campaign. Not interested in multiplayer. This new one only has online co-op campaign. It started pulling other people in and I quit and uninstalled. I stopped playing Battlefield when they did this.

Is Activision happy with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's launch? It's not celebrating like it normally does https://kotaku.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-7-player-count-battlefield-6-2000646316

Hey @cnn.com โ€ฆ Your article talks about โ€œmassive AI investmentsโ€. Maybe connect the dots better? AI has always been seen by billionaires as a way to reduce headcount in favor of controllable IT spendโ€ฆ particularly software engineers, who are often highly paid. Just look at Amazon. Please do better.

Something in the US economy isnโ€™t adding up, and itโ€™s rattling the people charged with wrangling inflation and keeping the labor market intact.
