Is AI the true enemy, or just a convenient distraction from systemic failure?
New piece on why moral panics around technology are often just masks for structural decay. Instead of fighting the machine, we should be auditing the foundation.

Indie authors must be political
📚 Indie authors: people will complain about you and call you too political, and beg you to stick to writing fiction. But if we don’t speak up and push back, our stories will be banned from libraries, book stores, and online. It’s already happening.
Literally if I don’t get political there’s a real chance I won’t be able to write stories anymore because it’ll be illegal for me to do so.
So I say: write like hell and yell like hell. Because our stories deserve to be read.

I gave "The Secret of Secrets" (2025) by Dan Brown a Weak 4-Star Rating because it was a grind to work through the main science issues addressed in the book. An absolute GRIND! It was a well-crafted story, however. And character development was also quite good.
Overall, the book wasn't as good as many of my friends said it was. It was still a 4-Star book but I was hoping for a 5 Star.

Flights. By Olga Tokarczuk. Trans by Jennifer Croft.
You are a traveler, observing your travels and those of others, both in the present and the past, in space and in time, and wondering what it does to our fragile bodies, our fragile, mutable selves.

Ian Fleming (May 28, 1908 — August 12, 1964) didn’t invent James Bond out of nowhere. During World War II, he worked in British Naval Intelligence and saw from the inside how real secret operations were planned.

Cold Cases and Warm Hearts: Exploring “All the Missing Pieces” by Catherine Cowles
All the Missing Pieces by Catherine Cowles 18+ Contains Adult Content All the Missing Pieces follows Ridley, who is a true crime podcaster; she travels the country covering cold cases. Ridley lost her twin sister, Avery, the night before their college graduation; all that was left were Avery's keys. Ridley knows what it feels like to lose someone and never get answers, which is what makes her a caring, sensitive and respectful podcaster. Ridley's latest cold case takes her to Shady Grove, where she is covering a cold case from 10 years ago in which a young girl was taken, but she managed to get away. This may be the first time Ridley has a victim she can speak with, said, victim is the Sheriff's sister, and Sheriff Colter Brooks will be damned if some podcaster comes into his town and stirs up trouble. Well, that is, until Ridley's case goes from cold to smoking hot in one leap, putting her in danger. Colt does what any respectable Sheriff would do and moves her into his house to keep her safe. That was the one thing these monsters didn't realize. They thought they were only ending one life, but it was so many more. The ripple effect of cruel violence that would live on for generations to come, all of us still breathing branded by it. […] -

Thurs. May 28, 2026: Putting One Word After Another
image courtesy of Gordon Johnson from PixabayThursday, May 28, 2026
Waxing Moon
Pluto Retrograde
Sunny and pleasant
You can read the latest on the garden over on Gratitude and Growth. There’s actually something to write this week.
After breakfast, I did a bunch of admin, then got the laundry folded and put away, and put aside the pieces that need ironing and those that need mending. I slogged through a bunch of email. A few days ago, I got a request for a script submission, and I’ve been rolling around what to submit. I picked the play (THE WOMEN ON THE BRIDGE) and sent it off. If I WILL BE DIFFERENT is ready by August, I can submit that, too (I can submit two scripts this year, per their request/instructions).
I pondered what to work on for END OF PLAY starting June 1. Some characters are starting to talk, but I’m not sure in which world they fit.
Part of me wants to finally work on the play inspired by the time Kit Cornell’s company took the train from Buffalo to Seattle on tour, got stuck in a snow storm, were late, the audience waited, so actors took turns on stage telling stories while the crew built the set around them, and they did the play, ending around 3 AM. But I don’t feel settled enough in the research, and I can’t re-read the books between now and the 1st. I should put those research books in a project bin so they are handy. I tracked down several memoirs by members of the company. It’s not ready to write yet, though, and I don’t want to push it when it’s not the right time.
Some projects one can leap into and sort it out on the way. Others, like this one and the May Morris play, require lots of specific research so the world of the play is reflexive and one doesn’t have to look up the details as one goes, because those details affect everything in the scene. I have to be comfortable in the world while writing the scene, not layer the details in later on.
Managed to get some work done on BETTING MAN. Not enough, but some. Decided to make another change in the overall arc, which will affect this book and future books. I’m hoping that will lift the obstacles I’ve been feeling as I work on it these past weeks, that I was on the wrong track with it, and now I’ve course corrected.
Switched over to the ghostwriting. Didn’t get as much done on a word count level as I hoped, but I’m happy with the quality. I will have to make up for it today and tomorrow, which will be a challenge, because today is packed.
The literary committee meeting went well. It’s always such a pleasure to have these monthly meetings and get into deep topics around the plays involved.
Word X Word confirmed I’m one of the poets in the exquisite corpse poem. We’re performing it July 26 at the Mount. It’s one of my favorite participations of the year. This will be my 5th year with them.
Cooked dinner, read a bit at night. I’ve read Elizabeth McCracken’s BOWLAWAY these past few days, which is a unique book stylistically and story-wise. It’s literary fiction that mixes whimsy, pathos, and history in it.
Slept well, which surprised me as much as anyone, up a little early this morning because Tessa and Charlotte were fussing. Morning routine was good, and I figured out a bunch of stuff in the new BETTING MAN direction in the morning free write.
As far as I know, the online meditation group meets this morning, then I head out on errands, try to get some work done on BETTING MAN, join the Freelance Friends chat, work on the ghostwriting. I’ve been invited to two different things tonight. Whether I can go to either of them largely depends on how much work I can get done around all the meetings.
I’m going to try to get a little bit done now, before meditation group.
Have a good one!

🔓 #KindleJailbreak chronicles - day 39 📖
I'm sharing this in case it can motivate other people with e-readers to get back to steady reading habits.
I setup a jailbroken Kindle with #KOreader and #SimpleUI a little over a month ago (39 days to be exact).
I had been missing reading books and I knew that with quantification / a clear metric showing minutes spent reading every day I could get back in the habit.
For context, ever since I started tracking my step count, I've been averaging over 10,000 steps a day - for 7 YEARS now!
Anyway, 39 days in and my daily reading average (over the last 7 days) has been 56 minutes/day. I was aiming for 30. I guess that it also helps that Suzanne Collins is a great writer 😅
A side effect of reading so much is that writing feels effortless now. The words just flow.
Yesterday I published a deep dive on W Social (ICYMI): https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-untold-story-about-w-social-unconventional-beginnings-strategic-pitches-conflicting-signals/
Wishing you all a great day!
