I just found out, sadly, that scifi writer Terry Bisson died. I knew him casually a million years ago.
If you're curious, I found these about him.

When I knew him, I read a few of his short stories, but didn't much like them. But more recently I read this, which I really enjoyed, if you'd like to take a look.
"They’re Made Out of Meat"
