Likes What’s up with sci-fi publishing? by .
This resonates with me. I’m having trouble finding new non-fantasy sci-fi to read these days, too. I’ll have to dig more into smaller, boutique publishers. Any recommendations?

Likes Bridging vs cross-posting.
Good explainer of bridging vs cross-posting with graphics. Not sure where I land on this personally… I’m doing a bit of both, but it is haphazard. I think occasional cross-posting makes more sense for me personally, but it is nice to understand the trade-offs, which are laid out in this post.

In the United States, approximately 9,000 people per year suffer a snake bite, but only five deaths occur. Interestingly, poison center data shows that one in 736 patients who suffer a rattlesnake bite actually dies. Oftentimes, the victim of a rattlesnake bite is a young intoxicated male.
Lower number of snake bite deaths than I thought!

Later edit: My wife informed me that Gates is probably on the Epstein list and this may be a distraction tactic. Not good. Still better to have that money going to under-researched women’s health than to some AI startup, though.
