Coming back after the Holidays
The holidays the chance to spend with family and friends to be sure. But when you work as a freelancer at this time of year it's hard to think about work and I proved it for I am way behind in my reading and writing. Even though I have been jotting down writing ideas from time to time and sharing a few of my Christmas colorings I have been lax in my daily work. This may sound like a New Year's resolution, but it isn't for I do not make these things anymore and haven't for years but here goes I am going to start catching up on my reading and writing and my color art starting in a few days right after January 1.

H/Jack
Introduction I will be honest, when I saw this advertised on Apple TV the only things that grabbed me were the fact Idris Elba was in it and the title "H/Jack". I have watched a lot of excellent stuff on the channel, most recently "Slow Horses" and "Down Cemetery Road", both absolute must-watch, and "Murderbot" was brilliant.

Autotune Tears
Digital Tears and Ghosts in the Studio The script has become a seasonal awards-show classic: an established artist, face solemn and trophy in hand, uses their acceptance speech to denounce the latest technological heresy. Today, the monster is artificial intelligence (AI)—a soulless threat, a soul-less automaton poised to usurp human creativity and devalue artists’ livelihoods. Yet this moral panic is not new; it is merely the latest chapter in the music industry’s long, repetitive history of resisting progress—a predictable cycle of fear, rejection, and, inevitably, assimilation.

Munchausen syndrome in the digital age. Content Warning.
By Business Fher Thanks to unexpected plot twists in movies like Run or series like The Act, many of us have heard of Munchausen syndrome. Although its origin is still unknown, this condition is considered a form of child abuse: the caregiver (in most cases, the mother) invents false symptoms or even induces real ones to make it appear as if their child is ill. This pattern creates a physical, psychological, and emotional dependency, as the child constantly needs the care of their abuser. At a social level, the perpetrator is often perceived as an example of strength and sacrifice, which sometimes translates into community recognition and even financial assistance.
