Weekly News

Welcome back one and all! This week has ushered in spring in weather and light if not yet calendar. We’re close, so very close, but I’m feeling it now. Time for some news about stuff in no way related to spring, sun, or shorts. You just never know which direction my brain will go. 😉

This first story is the first of two to show that the machines are beginning their rise to take over. Beware of cackly laughter, my friends. The wicked witch is masquerading as a helpful computer.

This next one makes me wonder if our kids are co-conspirators in the rise of the machines.

In science news this week, progress in understanding autism.

That’ll do it for me tonight. See you back here in seven.

About kimlajevardi

I am a forty-something-year-old writer. I'm currently drafting my second book. I've also written short stories, poems, and some non-fiction over the last several years. My interest in writing formed during countless hours with my nose tucked in books. I may have even been clutching a novel as I was born. :)
