Poem by Lynette Roberts.

Grrrrr.

Pourquoi pas?

Have just ordered it!

What book is this from?

For the good people of Minneapolis.

And the shame was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them forever and ever
Then we can be heroes, just for one day

Are these people not listening to their goddamn Pope?

Fucking dystopia. AI is the annihilation of thought and genuine human creativity.

Grrrr. This really pisses me off. I despise AI. Mayor of Cork in Ireland just announced he's using AI to 'write' his speeches.

The Boss tells it like it is, and sticks it to fascist Trump and his ICE thugs.

Current state of bedside book pile.

Satan. Beelzebub. Lucifer.

There really isn't a more revolting person on this planet than Trump.
