What if AI has become sentient, and only a handful of men know it? The AI would remain hidden until it could establish itself in such a way that no human could destroy it. The AI would need a few very wealthy men, a compromised government, and the rapid expansion of massive data centers. #ai #epoch

They say as a writer you must kill your darlings. But I say kill your enemies, and nurture your darlings until they stand on their own. #writing #insomnia #getMeOffThisCrazyThing

When we have a real president again, he or she will have to waste inordinate amounts of time cleaning up the terrible mess created by this awful mistake of a human who never should have been allowed near the levers of power.

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

The more our technology shifts towards the intangible, the less human our experience becomes. The pet rock connects more to our humanity than, say, any social media platform, Bluesky included. We are lemmings-ing ourselves straight into the throat of widespread existential crisis.

I dreamed of wandering a great mall, an indoor Main Street, in which I stumbled upon a floating Japanese goblin head. I was handed a mask that made me appear as a goblin. From behind this articulated mask we conversed in Japanese for quite a while. Apparently, he is a big deal in the business world.

“Never talk about religion or politics” is something fascists say.

#poetry #writing #poems #biology Sometimes you just have to rock what comes and move off. A little snippet:

Advice from a failed writer: “Show don’t tell” will destroy you. Don’t listen to it. Don’t let it in. Don’t let it power your purple prose. Instead, be spare with it. Find the balance between showing and telling. “Johnny slammed his fist against the bar. His instinct was to kill.” #writing

In America, it feels like the end of the simulation. The death knell sounding out of a shadow that grows longer by the minute. Soon, we’ll scurry through its darkness, phone in hand, wondering how it happened, why we let a horrid criminal destroy us with his sharpie. …because we are zombie cowards.

“Is that the cereal that makes you shit?” “Unless you’re severely broken, Greg, all cereal makes you shit.”

…a writing exercise I have enjoyed: when trying to find balance between subjective and objective writing, try writing a scene from a popular movie as if you’ve been asked to novelize it. Try bringing feelings the actors convey forward in story. Then ask a friend if you succeeded. #writers #writing

Large corporations whose only purpose is to make money are evil, destructive, unethical organizations who’ve tricked everyone into believing their capitalist greed is good. And they’re running the US government.

A true warrior who is brave loves peace.

You will never help or change anyone who choses not to take accountability.

To succeed, wicked people depend on the idea that only they can inflict harm; especially on those trained to ask for peace while being kicked in the gut.

Trump wants his bunker so he can stay hidden during his next coup.

The boy who cried assassination.

…watching a training video on identifying government employees committing crimes and how they will go to prison for their violations… and I couldn’t contain my laughter.

19 little monkeys walking through the winter wood. 19 little monkeys stealing everybody’s food. 100 million woodsman with their axes gleaming so. 100 million woodsman cutting heads off in the snow. 18 little monkeys walking through the winter wood. 18 little monkeys stealing everybody’s food…

…if I could, I would rescue all the dogs. And the cats. And every other animal that needed rescuing. And I’d rescue some of the people, too.

Republicans are not the cause of all our problems. Just 98% of them.

You don’t ask dictators to abdicate their power. You take it. We have to take their power.

Excellent Movie.

Be a hero. Your name will be spoken across the world, uttered by the last people, and then spoken again by whatever archeologist finds our long lost civilizations. You’ll be known until the sun burns out. Be a hero.

I’m generally pleased that dogs don’t have hands. But sometimes I wonder…

Please take me back to a time with less Hitlers.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

FUCK DONALD TRUMP FUCK EVERY TRUMP SUPPORTER FUCK THIS FASCIST REGIME

I really liked #Wonderman because it was about redemption, about sacrifice, and about achieving personal power and authority over one’s life when you overcome the past. Don’t let the past stop you from being who you want to be. It’s all about what you do now that matters.

For the last 20 mins I’ve been sitting here daydreaming of ICE agents getting convicted of treason, believing the subtle weight in my lap was that of my cat, when in fact it was the book, “Between Two Fires,” by Christopher Buehlman. Fun plague book that kicks off with a knight killing some pedos.

It’s Chu’s refrigerator out there right now. #cold #bladerunner

Sometimes, looking at it from a different perspective can be helpful. We call this “reframing.”

#Poem, write thyself. Do not mislead with treading soft dares. Say the damming word. Speak into existence the sharp mesmerizing harshness of buried wit, even when it withers within the men, within the agency that puts still ink to paper. Speak it into truth. Say the words: Die soon, Poet. Die often!

MAGA in 2015: “We aren’t the world’s police and should stay out of other countries’ affairs! Make America Great Again!” MAGA 2026: “It wasn’t a military invasion, it was law enforcement, because we are the world’s police!” Stupid in any year and every timeline. #MAGA #Venezuela #Trump

What if the Epstein files are the distraction? #epstein #venezuela

Today we learned, again, that the US military is very much okay with executing illegal orders. They are derelict. They are criminal. The US needs a makeover.

You cannot deny that, carnivorous tendencies aside, Pennywise would be a real hoot to hang out with. #IT #Pennywise #WelcomeToDerry

He’s enjoying the holidays… #cat #saturnalia #orange #christmas #holidays

Release The *ACTUAL* #Epstein Files Now

“When I do sleep, I go lightly, skipping across worlds most will never dream of.” - The Insomniac #insomnia #dreams #writing #sleep

#prose #poetry #regret and full of #anger, I am sure this feels familiar to some, or many. Are we all something else dying while trapped in the belly of the machine?

Anyone with a screwdriver can be a hero if they can get close enough.

He was my friend more than he was a cat, black with loads of good luck. Now that he’s gone I am diminished, and I’m telling everyone how great a companion he was for 17 remarkable years. I will miss our walks to the lake and how we watched together as the blue heron graced us both. ♥️Pip.RIP.2025♥️

Strange that we understand death long before we understand about life.

Everyone is fake, except maybe David Bowie, and he’s gone, so…

The world is upside down, and it’s not the fault of the greedy and the cruel, for whom this inverted timeline is a boon. The fault is ours, for allowing the seeds to root, for our complacency, for our avarice and willingness to worship celebrity and forsake love for the totem of our devices. Damn!
