I don't approve of horses. They were a mistake.

Working on a theory. Grain isn't from Earth. Ancient grains travelled here from a distant planet to uplift mankind to sentience.

My progress toward enlightenment has been a bit sidetracked after I accidentally chose a Tawny Frogmouth as my meditation master. I have however developed remarkably effective camouflage and am indistinguishable from a tree branch.

My comments that you're quoting do not reflect my current thinking. I have been learning. Evolving. I can mimic a tree branch to avoid predators now.

Dog owners are morally superior to other people but it's not because of providing care or whatever. It's because there is no experience of connection more self-shattering than eye contact with a pooping dog.

HR procured a new IT system but ran out of budget to customise it and it's heavily Turkmen nationalist. I'd complain but my performance review actually scored me very high on traditional Turkmen virtues.

I make all of my posts with my hands clasped behind my back, looking out the window

they're rehydrating me tomorrow, raisin-into-a-grape kinda situation. apparently we're pretty much dessicated compared to our naturally intended wet/meat ratio - every single person on earth, yeah. no one even knows what a fully hydrated man would be capable of, but... shit. it's a new day, brother.

They put a chunk of graphite in the zoo. "Between Life and Unlife - there is no difference."

Keep having dreams where I'm a subscriber to the Financial Times. It's never the point of the dream, just background.

thousands of synchronous "hup" sounds getting louder from down the street

Two-year-old has found a cloth we use for cleaning up the baby's vomit and has put it on his head. If you try to take it from him he just screams "VOMIT HAT!!!" until you put it back on his head.

The politics of the future will be defined by nostalgia for when all was formless void.

Smooth Ruins

along with the prosecution and defense there should be a third lawyer questioning the nature of truth, justice, existence, etc

In a big romantic gesture gone terribly wrong, I have accidentally had my wife's heart designated as a Critical Mineral. We are now on the run from a multinational mining consortium - I must say, it has in fact brought us closer together.

The giant callus on my left big toe has now grown a face and is demanding I call him “Rough Boi, the toughest boy on deez toes”

I think if we want to keep kids reading Shakespeare we gotta cut some of the dead weight. Just like stop including "Love's Labours Lost" in lists of the plays.

Wishing you all Ten Thousand Years of Duck.

The UN has declared International Handwashing Week. Wash your hands people.

Stupid Ambience of Boring Area [ALL SOUNDS - 10 HRS]

Really the funniest thing that could happen is if gold-plated electricity distribution networks built by rent-seeking privatised operators end up being perfectly suited to distributed household storage.

Will the world be saved by "Degrowth"? Sure - if you mean "D-Growth", the astounding growth enabled by BYD's proprietary "D-Chain" supply chain financing system!

Early this Sunday morning, gathering a congregation of rude mechanics and seekers in a field, shoeless and our trouser hems wet with dew, to preach the coming of BYD's proprietary "D-Chain" supply chain financing system.

BYD executives have announced the completion of History by the synthesis of state-administered planning and market competition in the final economy: the proprietary "D-Chain" supply chain financing system.

Commencing a series of 35 meditation exercises of increasing rigor after which I will attempt the 36th - holding the nature of BYD's proprietary "D-Chain" supply chain financing system in my mind.

Uploading my consciousness into BYD's proprietary "D-Chain" supply chain financing system.

"Where's Mama?" Son... she's in the Metaverse.

The hardest thing about raising a child in 2025 is explaining to them what the Metaverse is.

My enemies in the urban planning profession won't engage with my ideas, and resort to personal attacks. "Your only idea is replacing North Melbourne with a gargantuan Pyramid Of The Sun!" Listen to yourself. It's idea enough.

Yes, in one sense, we do not need to build a Great Temple to Aten, for every place beneath the Sun is a temple to Aten. But in another much more important sense we very much do need to build a Great Temple to Aten.

They let you keep the puddle after it rains

Ancient Wisdom has fallen into desuetude; ignorance and folly pervade the public. We will fix this by creating a system of tradable property rights over Wisdom Artefacts to distribute Wisdom decision-making to stakeholders. And enforcing these rights with summary violence.

Wishing for my child the life of fulfilment that wasn't available to me (being a rail enthusiast).

They won't stop! The sunsets flowers youth rain, they keep coming back, no matter how ephemeral I tell them they are.

Ah...My mind often turns to Ashgabat, "The City of White Marble"...

"Durable Goods". Redundant. All that is Good is surely durable. - Unless... there is beauty in the ephemeral?

Me: 🧦 Baby: I hate socks as I hate hell, all Montagues, and th– Me: DON’T Baby: [blows raspberry] Me: and who’s been teaching you…? Baby: that’s not for you to know

Not gonna learn what "cold brewed" means. Doesn't make sense.

Every year, over 36 million Britons die after charging directly into plate glass windows at high speeds. Yet no one does anything about it.

Rough day for us Evergrandeheads. I really thought they were gonna make it.

Eating some really good celery. You never think about how good celery can be until you're eating some really good celery.

Me, tripping on a cobblestone and spilling my sack of aphorisms all over the street: "My aphorisms!"

Telling the doctor my baby is gauche, he has no savoir-faire. Is this a developmental issue.

"We weren't made to sit at a desk and send emails all day." I was. It's the only thing I'm good at. In the state of nature I would die.

Wife won't bring me an Invigorating Drop. "What does that mean", she says. "What are you talking about?"

If you see a shadow, it's morally polluting... it makes sense. Stare directly at the sun.
