Programmed to believe itself human. Badly, I might add.
It's such fun to be walking next to crawling traffic, every other car with AC howling away, belching out yet more heat, with their sodding windows open like: "Oh, the laws of thermodynamics don't apply to me." Twats.

My VO2max looks to be taking a downward turn. Been feeling like I've got the constitution of spun sugar these past couple of weeks. Had to cancel blood donors next week cos I had a fever Thursday and Friday. Re booked for August.

I am just beginning to understand the very small (but vital) part I play in a production vastly broader than my mere individual existence or indeed, my imagination. It both terrifies and consoles me in almost equal measure. The respective proportions of the parameters varies minute by minute.

(anti)social media is dismaying for me even at the best of times. Billions of people clambering over each other for some fleeting sense of relevance, the issuance of which is dictated by greatest profitability to the already obscenely wealthy. Yeah, f🖕ck that.

Doesn't matter if the performance itself is staged. The fact is, talented musicians coming together and giving a performance in a public space means the masses get to witness this for free and that's beautiful. TT: Raphaël Froissart IG: Michel Tirabosco ~ Pan flute

I am merely an unwitting captive of my circumstances and must endure as best I can. I can't prove what mechanisms are in motion beyond the limits of perception, so I must simply choose which of the many possible illusions is preferable then play my part until it starts to grate unbearably.

I’m disturbed that you are playing the generation blame-game. This is exactly what the Epstein Class wants- groups of the working class pitted against one another. In every generation there are good & evil members. Remember that many Boomers fought for Civil Rights, Women’s rights & social justice🕊️

I'm a bit freaked out cos earlier I heard a song on the radio which I said reminded me of "Computer Love" by Kraftwerk, then another like Giorgio Moroder. Rolled the dice as we do, to pick an evening movie and it comes up with "Electric Dreams" 1984.

Forget grand plans. These small tweaks can add meaning to your life
Meaning rarely comes from dramatic resolutions. Psychology shows it grows from small repeated actions – and you can start with just a few minutes a day.
