To hope for the best in free fall is foolish
As pride precedes a fall
To lust for the blood of another is ghoulish
But war makes beasts of us all

It seems a sin to bend the facts
But is perdition worth it?
When truth's a burden to break your back
But a lie's as light as the breath that birthed it

At any given moment I feel
A thousand screaming birds
Crashing into me

A Smiling Corpse
Strung up on wires
Too afraid to face
Their greedy beaks

I pull the strings
From shadows so dark
I can't see my own face

Another interesting occurrence of @hankgreen.bsky.social 's line on the map?

Could be "places it's easiest to commit fraud and collect your dead grandpa's pension checks". 🤷

Civility should be met with civility. The first to break the social contract invites retaliation in kind. If a party is allowed to continuously break said contract with impunity, such violations will continue in perpetuity.

Sacrifice soul as the capital asks of me
Profanely sacred sacral blasphemy
Cast a grin as my muscles atrophy
Original sin of the hustle's after me

I don’t condone murder, but I damn well hope the billionaire class realizes after the killing of the UHC CEO that their fear & outrage mean nothing to a world crushed by their greed & cruelty. After all the devastation they’ve unleashed on countless lives, why should anyone care about their pain?

The purpose of religion is to find connection with all things. For these people, your ass is a convergence point in the cosmos.

Or it's a bot.

And thus is born a folk hero.

Crazy that the assassin got caught. It's almost like all the folks "on his side" shared his face like a meme or something. 🤷

Been really busy the last couple days. Have a stupid baby.

That's what burner accounts are for.

They already made a game of it.

on “Wonderful Christmastime,” Sir Paul McCartney set out to make a timeless christmas classic and also to figure out what every button on his synthesizer did, and he absolutely succeeded at one of those things

They could never feel my pulse.

I know these feelings well.

The brothers naping. Grimlin can't sleep normal.

Idk, you're a pretty beloved personality... *knock on wood

I'm not just a normal guy, therefore I am not Nathan.

It's Lord of the Rings AND anime. High School me is over the moon.

Daily pondering
The fragility of life
Shows us just how small
Our days are within deep time
Without promised tomorrow

Gentle morning sun
Creeps along a waking sky
Putting night to sleep

Party time!

Thanks for the clarification.

I FEEL this...

We're living in the lamest cyberpunk future.
