About Eric F. Frazier

I am an independent writer, editor, book reviewer and co-author of GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones.

Frazeology is my take on matters large and small, in the news or off the radar. My approach is personal, but the goal is not to write about me. Rather, it is to offer subjective observations about experiences and concerns that we all share.

From time to time, I link to and comment on things others have said particularly well--or especially poorly. And sometimes I make up new words. We have more than enough already, but it's fun and I find playing around with language irresistible.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you enjoy reading.

The same people who refuse vaccines because they believe the shots contain microchips are now in thrall to Elon Musk. Will they happily line up to have his Neuralink implanted in their brains?

Why Neuralink, not Twitter, is Elon Musk’s biggest challenge https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/03/elon-musk-neuralink-twitter/
