If Great Dead Writers Were on Facebook - 3. Top Story - August 2025.
I have started these series with the Russian writers and then thought why should I have all the fun alone (thanks to Raymond G. Taylor for the idea to turn this into an unofficial challenge!). So I'm opening it up for others who would like to see if they can bring dead writers into the modernity through their imagined Facebook or other social media posts.

If Great Dead Writers Were on Facebook - 2
In my first story of these series, I've tackled five Russian writers. Since there are a lot more, some of whom might be less known to the English-language readers, I wanted to do another installment. As a reminder, the Facebook art here is generated by MAIK (My AI Kompanion, as I call it) showing off its improved capacities as ChatGPT-5. So, here's some more Russian writers' imaginary posts on Facebook, with an explanatory setup:

If Great Dead Writers Were on Facebook - 1. Top Story - August 2025.
I've had a great (in my humble opinion) idea today: What if the great writers from all over the world before the Internet's time had Facebook accounts? What would they write about? Would they probe or crowdsource ideas for their novels, short stories, and plays? Witness events that could give them food for thoughts and plots? Boast about their new books just published?

Georgian Stuffed Eggplants
In anticipation of my move to Tbilisi for nine months, I decided to make a traditional Georgian dish - eggplants stuffed with walnuts and garlic. In Georgian, it is called "badrijani nigvziani," which literally means "eggplants with walnuts." My mom really liked it. I thought it was pretty good for the first time, too.

Mishka The Bear. Top Story - July 2025.
I saw the young brown bear for the first time on Friday afternoon of my big move. It lurked in the shadow of the pine trees that fringed my property — not quite a cub, but not fully grown yet. My limited knowledge of bears suggested it was about two years old.

Death of My RE & EV Stock
I have a Roth IRA account I manage myself. It's not large and I try to be careful with my money: Make it as diverse as possible, invest in some Blue Chips and some tech Unicorns, and companies that work for improving our future, such as renewable energy and electric or hybrid vehicles. With those high-risk companies, I try to invest only what I could lose without regret ($200-500) or offset with other more reliable investments.
