Sonnet 028 - XXVIII
How can I then return in happy plight,
That am debarred the benefit of rest?
When day's oppression is not eas'd by night,
But day by night and night by day oppress'd,
And each, though enemies to either's reign,
Do in consent shake hands to torture me,
The one by toil, the […]

A blackboard outside a shop on a sidewalk paved with brick. On the blackboard someone has written "I was told there would ba a handbasket." For anyone unfamiliar with the idiom, there's a common expression about things "Going to hell in a handbasket," meaning that they're turning bad very quickly.

If someone threatens to do something for 47 years in a row and doesn’t in fact do it, they might be more bark than bite.

Just saying.

Yes, but your process is to let LLM drivel spew from your profiles.

Not sure where the value is added to or for anyone.

You are LLM chat bot pablum. Making the world more sloppy and less valuable with each post.

Sunday thought: We will prevail Finding courage in a dark time

It’s been a hard week. If you’re feeling angry, you’re not alone. I see it in your comments. I’m struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless.

You are giving me hope.

Sonnet 030 - XXX
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep […]

@davidaugust about two weeks ago I had a very strange "dream". Not a dream really just a phrase echoing over and over and I came awake. When I got up I had to look it up. The phrase was "he's here to immanentize the eschaton" and of course I had to look that up. I'd heard it before but was […]

Ice has a habit of harassing and killing and graping people, so it’s nice to have flotus coming out in support of abolishing ice. /s
