A Change In Direction by Antonio Luis Santana Candia Rosario Figueroa (papo)

Hello if you're reading this is because I am out of Facebook jail, it has been a month. I think being in Facebook jail shows you who your real friends are. I would like to thank all those who have made an effort to be in contact with me for the last 30 days. I am grateful, first to God then my wife, and a few of you. You know who you are so I'm not going to mention names.

The social media Facebook has been altered and changed to the point that from my point of view is no longer usable or viable. I won't use it much. Some of the groups that I belong to have gone South. Let's be honest, Facebook as I said before, uses its members as a product and like any corporation they want to have the best product(your data) available people are willing to buy. They have engaged in heavy social engineering toward that goal.

I am not going to go on a long rant if you don't get what I wrote above, I really do feel sorry for you. To my friends on JW blue the ancient list of the_folder is now active. I appreciate the encouragement I get there while I remain isolated due to my own personal issues and social anxieties.

To get there you have to open an account, here is the link https://mewe.com/join/thefolder

I am very much aware of what David Splane mention during our convention. I want to let you know that I agree with him. I know 90% of the individuals on JW_blue personally. Individuals on The_Folder I know them ... up close and personal.

For my Puerto Rican family and friends I created a group named Boriken. That group is also active and there we discuss Puerto Rican and Latin American culture; even though I was born in New York and raised in Puerto Rico, I have this to say that I got from a friend. "A Nosotros Los Boricuas nacemos donde nos dan las ganas!"

Here is the link to that particular list or group https://mewe.com/join/boriken

For my friends who enjoy hard science fiction. https://mewe.com/join/hardsciencefictionbookclub

I am currently reading 3 hard science fiction books and I will write about them or review them. I am also planning to get into flash fiction just to keep my mind busy, it won't go anywhere but at least I'm keeping my mind busy.

For anybody else who wants to discuss the issue of the day I resurrected an old folder group called issues. Here is the link https://mewe.com/join/issues

If you want to get into contact with me personally on Mewe. Here is my own link. mewe.com/i/antoniosantana3 my e-mail is also Jabriol2000@gmail.com

I will probably use Facebook for minor stuff like I use Twitter and Instagram; most likely even if I did post to Facebook, I will still be under the shadowban hammer which means that about 10% of individuals who are on my friend's list won't see when I post; it will go through Facebook filters first, and very few of you will see it especially those who have reported me in the past and those who complained about me that was picked up by the Facebook AI algorithms.

I think that's about it ....have a great day. Tony (Papo)

The Long Mars

The Long Mars by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars "The Long Mars," the third installment in the Long Earth series, continues to expand the already vast canvas of Pratchett and Baxter's creation. While the concept of "Joker Mars" – echoing the familiar "Joker Earths" – is intriguing, it's just one of three distinct narrative threads woven throughout this book. We follow Sally Linsay on a journey across the Martian Stepped worlds, unraveling the mysteries her father, Willis, seeks. This exploration of the alien landscapes of the Long Mars is certainly compelling, but personally, it was the storyline involving "The Next" that truly captivated me. Joshua Valiente's arc, which delves into the emergence of these post-human children, is where the book really shines. It's a powerful exploration of prejudice, fear, and the potential societal clashes that arise when faced with the "other." The authors masterfully tackle ...

The Long Utopia

The Long Utopia by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars In The Long Utopia, a novel in the Long Earth series, the artificial intelligences Agnes and Lobsang embark on a unique endeavor: adopting a human child, Ben, and attempting to build a normal pioneering life on one of the seemingly infinite parallel Earths. However, their peaceful existence takes a dramatic turn with the human pioneers discovering a peculiar species dubbed 'silver beetles'. These insects exhibit an unusual behavior of 'stepping down' to lower-numbered Earths. As the pioneers observe them, a terrifying realization dawns: the silver beetles are not merely migrating; they are systematically transforming their chosen parallel Earth into a colossal Dyson Motor, a structure designed to harness the star's energy. Lobsang, with his advanced analytical capabilities, understands the catastrophic implications. These silver beetles can step sideways to other parallel Earths, potentially converting an...
