Hallo allerseits! 👋 🙂 Ich bin der Markus, Romanautor für Fantasy und Science Fiction, außerdem Illustrator, RPG-Designer und vieles mehr. Hauptsächlich bin ich hier auf Mastodon, um über meine Bücher, das Schreiben und allgemein kreative Betätigung zu plaudern. Ich bin gespannt, wen ich hier so alles kennenlernen werde. 😊
@kcarr2015 Yeah, the whole "is this person still that person" was interesting. It's one thing that Star Trek does pretty well presenting these dilemmas, Measure of Man, is another case, as well as the VOY episode where the Doctor wrote a holonovel and his publisher is like, you're not a person so this work belongs to us. #AllStarTrek@allstartrek
"And the Band Played On is a 1993 American television film docudrama directed by Roger Spottiswoode. The teleplay by Arnold Schulman is based on the best-selling 1987 non-fiction book And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic by Randy Shilts, and is noteworthy for featuring both a vast historical scope, as well as an exceptionally sprawling cast."

According to Wikipedia, it was his dyslexia that led him to science, as subjects where reading was a central focus were difficult for him. (UC Berkeley undergrad, UCLA Med Center residency).
I saw elsewhere here someone saying to stop using #Huel because it's ultimately camping food. One of my #neurospicy friends recommended it & my order came today. I'm sharing because for many #autistic people food prep is very draining & getting the #nutrition we need can be a challenge. I have the privilege of a very thoughtful & culinary partner who's kept me fed for over 2 decades. But this new career post gradschool has messed up my eating routine & I hope this will be a good supplement.

Can anyone help me find a novel I enjoyed years ago, set in a village on the rocky Cornish coast?
The main character had come to live there and finds himself drawn quietly into the community. He owns a small boat, moored on a river that opens into a bay which is guarded at the sea-edge by dangerous rocks where ships have been lost, and where one historical tragedy in particular is scored into local memory. Eventually, there's the need for a rescue to be attempted.
I'm a reporter looking to interview freelancers who have seen demand for their work go down -- or shift -- in the wake of ChatGPT and all the AI image generators.
This is for a story about how freelancers, specifically, have seen demand for their labor change as use of AI has spread.

Is the testability of a theory essential to good science or is there room for more unconstrained exploration of ideas? @thetransmitter looks at whether this might be the case in relatively young fields like neuroscience.
