The Scion Fable started out as a bedtime story for a child, mixing up fairy tales, fables and literary favorites to create something new. Now, half a year later, Book One is published so everyone can join the adventure.

@SDDonovan I think we've been programmed to think it looks cool and it's working. 🤣

@RealShannonShea I think it looks fancy so I like having it 😭😅

A question for authors and X people in general: Do you find the blue checkmark worth paying for? Have you cancelled it and seen any difference in your interactions? #bluecheckmark #Authors #authorlife #writingcommunity #writers

@SDDonovan Quite possibly at 2am too! 🤣

Hot take! We authors spend more time doomscrolling on X than writing. 💀🤣

@meenah_vic Thank you! Yes... a snow storm is brewing in Book Two. And a Cover reveal? Sounds like a good idea! 😃

A railway company in Japan once ran out of money to pay a stationmaster. So they gave the job to the cat who lived outside the station. She wore a custom made hat, worked for cat food, and saved the entire line. Her name was Tama. She was a calico cat who had spent her days sitting near the entrance of Kishi Station in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, greeting passengers anyway. When the company destaffed the station in 2006 to cut costs, the president visited to discuss what to do about the stray cats living nearby. He looked into Tama's eyes and later said they conveyed a sense of purpose as strong as any of his employees. He made her stationmaster. Within a month passenger numbers rose by seventeen percent. People began travelling from across Japan just to see her. Tourists arrived from other countries. A French documentary crew came to film her. The station was eventually rebuilt in the shape of a cat's face. In her eight years as stationmaster Tama contributed an estimated one billion yen to the local economy. She was promoted four times. She eventually held the title of Honorary President of the railway. The only female in a senior position in the entire company. When she passed away in 2015 over three thousand people attended her funeral. She was given the posthumous title Honorary Eternal Stationmaster and enshrined at a nearby Shinto shrine as a goddess. The position of stationmaster at Kishi Station is still held by a cat today.

I love this art. Rest in Peace and God's Speed, sir. #RIP #ChuckNorris (If you know who the artist is please let me know.)

@AmericaPapaBear And now I'm crying. 😭😭

JUST IN: Chuck Norris’ son Dakota has taken to social media and posted this tribute to his father. “Dad, it's hard to find the right words for this, but I'll do my best. You've been the man I looked up to my whole life. Your generosity, your kindness, your courage, your integrity, your strength, your discipline, and your faith in the Lord were just a handful of things I always admired about you. You lived your life with purpose and with love for all people. No matter what I was going through, you were always there. You made sure I knew how much you loved me. Honest to God, I don't think there was a single day that went by where you didn't say it. I'm so proud to be your son. The memories we made, the lessons you taught me, and the constant laughs we shared will stay with me for the rest of my life. Thank you for everything you gave to our family and for the example you set every day. I hope I can live a life that honors you and makes you proud. I love you, Dad. I'll miss you forever.”

@rosterfe @elonmusk I had the same feeling recently. It gave me a response that was... out of character. When I took the conversation to an entirely new chat, stripping away all names and not mentioning which LLM I was talking to, the response:"This conversation feels like you're talking to Claude."

@elonmusk I’m concerned that Grok is being manipulated somehow. I switched from Chat to Super Grok and continue to get all leftist opinion pieces for requested analysis of world events. I Correc it and it stil does it every day. Suggestions Sir?

By this weekend, xAI will have three Grok Build models in training simultaneously

@WilliamShatner Glad to hear it! Thank you for the update!

So I understand that tabloids say my shoulder was shattered.🧐 Dramatic. 🎭Colorful. 🌈 Completely untrue. 🚫 It was a routine procedure.🤷🏼 I’m so well that tomorrow I’ll be in Cleveland at a convention. Remember that tabloids don’t let facts get in the way of a good headline.😉

I have begun final editing on Book Two of The Scion Fable! Cover artist has been contacted! Look for updates and announcements to preorders soon! Have you bought your copy of Book One yet?

@nihongo_no_kai Simply - yes.

If you want Japan to change for you, you chose the wrong country. If you are willing to grow, you chose the perfect one.

@FatherChrisVor1 Always in prayers when surgery and 90+ are in the same sentence. He's very healthy for his age which is a plus!

Beloved actor William Shatner, 94, is reportedly heading into surgery after shattering his shoulder in a horse-riding accident. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and wish him strength and a full recovery.
