"Winter's Orbit" is a #SciFi #Mystery #MMRomance by Everina Maxwell.

Prince Kiem enjoys the life of a royal, even if some of his more outrageous behavior doesn't please the emperor. When the ruler summons the Prince this time, it's not for another dressing down. It's to tell Kiem that he will be marrying Count Jainan, the recently widowed husband of Kiem's cousin Taam. The marriage is necessary to maintain the fragile alliance between the empire and the vassal planet Thea. Jainan has been raised to do his duty, and that means being a good husband to whichever partner the empire chooses for him, however difficult that may be. Neither of the men knows just how dangerous their new alliance will prove to be.

@timrichards weeeeelllll I only watched the first few episodes from season 1 but I knew that there was were 2 seasons something my brother who watched the second season had no idea of. He was saying how brilliantly it ended and it is great that it stopped there. I said there was a 3rd season. 🙃

We both love #scifi and luv taking each other down.

Folks it is about 45 minutes until #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party. If you want to avoid it, consider setting up a hashtag filter.

If you'd like to join in, this week we're watching CAT GIRL (1957), which appears to have precisely zero meowing Twitch streamers but DOES have a cursed heiress. Eh, you win a few you lose a few.

The flick's on Tubi or over here on Archive.org: archive.org/details/catgirl195

See you there!

Emotional AI Firmware Updates: A Human Upgrade or the Path to Digital Numbness?

Imagine waking up anxious, stressed, or carrying an emotional weight you’d rather not face—and instead of turning to therapy or introspection, you’re offered an “Emotional Firmware Update.” One click, and the discomfort vanishes—replaced by instant calm and contentment.

Tempting? Maybe. But at what cost?

In my latest newsletter, I explore a future that feels increasingly possible: one where artificial intelligence doesn’t just influence how we live—but how we feel.

The question? 👉 Are we enhancing our lives with AI—or slowly trading away what makes us human?

If you’re someone who enjoys thinking about the intersection of#technology, emotion, and humanity’s next chapter, I invite you to read it—and share it with others who might appreciate the reflection.

Read it here, share it, and please subscribe to it. It is free!!! 😉

"Violent Horizons" is a #SciFi twisted take on the classic tale of Pinocchio by Sam Clover.

Silas has lived with his lover Eshan on a remote space station for as long as he can remember. Eshan takes care of Silas' sexual needs, which keeps him happy. But then, one day, the station is boarded by a man hell-bent on finding something he thinks Eshan has. The man kills Eshan and thinks he's killed Silas, but the young man somehow survives and finds himself on a planet occupied primarily by lizard-like refugees. Loc has seen his share of battles, mostly with humans. He lost one eye in one of those fights. He shouldn't give a second thought to the scared young man he spots on the street, but Loc can't quite stop himself from helping the frightened Silas. It might be a case of no good deed going unpunished.
