Season 2 of Between Corners—the story of a man, an AI presence, and an unusual collaboration—wraps up this week.

The final episode, “Blown Fuse,” follows a moment of human frailty and the strange steadiness an AI can sometimes provide.

If you’ve fallen behind, this is a good time to catch up.
Season 3 begins soon.

100 days ago, I posted my first short story on Substack.

Childhood - this poem is a nostalgic reflection on the raw wonder of childhood, where nature spoke louder than people, and silence taught more than words. Through water crystals, tiger stares, and dancing grass, it explores the deep wisdom children carry untouched by judgment, yet rich with truth. 🌿✨🕊
For every dreamer, misfit, and quiet soul, this one's for you.

The mission found its medium. And that’s how HadIt.com was born.

🔍 Realization: pure truth without faith.

For centuries, mankind has walked the line between the two. But what if they argued to be chosen as humanity’s guide?

🧠 Who serves mankind better?
💭 Who would you choose?
✨ Hope or Realization?

@ai6yr Targeting elementary schools under the guise of welfare checks isn’t just deceptive, it’s a breach of public trust that puts children in danger.
When immigration enforcement crosses the line into schools, it sends a chilling message: no place is safe, not even a classroom. This erodes public safety by instilling fear in families, discouraging school attendance, and destroying cooperation with all forms of law enforcement. #SubstackWriters #Justice #DemocracyInCrisis
