* OpenAI fired it's CEO for some reason... on a Friday, which is what you do to try to manage the news cycle. We can't get statement until Monday, so they are betting some attention will have moved on.

* IBM just pulled ads from tweeter over Elon's racism and/or antisemitism. Looks like Apple, Disney, Paramount, NBC, WB and Lionsgate are following their lead. Yeah, that is a lot.

* People talking like the holidays are already here and the end of the year is upon us is freaking me out. It's not over yet!

* Somehow, somehow... I am going to get this chapter up tonight.

That is A LOT of money boycotting Elon. I guess it sucks it took this long, but I'll take it.

Hopefully the ads stay pulled and this isn't just a PR stunt by the companies.

The OpenAI thing is... interesting.

Twitter continues to... do what it's doing.

What is with that "the year is over now" vibe! I've been *feeling* that way a bit, and I don't know why. I'm trying to ignore it. We aren't even to the end of November! I've been seeing Christmas commercials for over a month already, so maybe it's that relentless capitalistic march toward moving everything up in the year... But it's not over! We have time!

Good luck on getting the chapter posted!

Yeah, I am also trying to ignore it. I hate December and don't want to start dealing with it yet.

Same! December is a mostly rough month for me, and I don't need to rush to get there!
