Bro. Bro. Listen! Bro, shit is turning, bro, turning in the widening gyre, man.

Things fall apart man; the centre? The center cannot fuckin hold bro, not even a little bit
It's just anarchy, bro, loosed upon the world, man

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

A tattooed knee, I think, featuring Richard Scarry's Lowly Worm in an apple car. Text reads: You got a fast car. I got a plan to get us out of here.

This tattoo, by InkedMongoose on IG, is perfect. No notes.

We built this city on rock and roll

We built this town on bluegrass

We built this suburb on Top 40 pop

We built this alley on punk

We built this village on bardcore folk

We built this dukedom on classical

We built this club on funk

But the world? … We built this world on jazz

Thank you

The actual public service chatgpt provides is in demonstrating the effect of never hearing the word no on the human psyche, it has made billionaire brain pudding a condition accessible to everyone irrespective of net worth

Pray you once more,
Is not your father grown incapable
Of reasonable affairs? Is he not stupid
With age and alt’ring rheums? Can he speak? Hear?
Know man from man? Dispute his own estate?
Lies he not bed-rid? And again does nothing
But what he did being childish?

You know you can just not use AI, right?

You can make a choice not to be part of this.

Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.

You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

In the words of C. S. Lewis: β€œI am a product of long corridors, empty sunlit rooms, upstairs indoor silences, attics explored in solitude, distant noises of gurgling cisterns and pipes, and the noise of wind under the tiles. Also, of endless books.”

A restaurant called β€œDon’t fill up on that” where all we serve are the free bread courses from other restaurants. Cheddar Bay biscuits, chips and salsa, brown bread from Outback, breadsticks from the Olive Garden, and the servers are always all β€œnow don’t fill up on this” and we all laugh and laugh

A society in which consumption has to be artificially stimulated in order to keep production going is a society founded on trash and waste, for such a society is a house built upon sand.
