That Palantir manifesto is something else...what a bunch of sociopathic lunatics.

Maybe now I can write some non-delirium poems....

Sipping the good stuff after days down with a fever

And my hell week of phlegm and fever is saved by Madonna's new song. OMG It's every Erotica meets Confessions on a Dance Floor feeling I wanted!

It should be!

I'm stuck at home today with the evil sore throat going around the office. I hate being sick. Makes me cranky!

Definitely a reminder that a big part of MAGA's ideological side is corporate anarchy: ruin to government and the bureaucratic state that regulates corporations.

If a Senator to the US Congress believes this strongly in their own ineffectualness, they should resign. Plain and simple.

Don't know how to feel about this image....it's giving Renaissance stage backdrop as much as homage to Confessions but I live that they drew in her old BBL!!

Not surprised given the amount of wellness propaganda and influencers. I've several friends who've fallen into this trap.

Just evil and avarice - on the influencers and forces trying to get everyone sick - and stupidity on anyone who falls for this shit.

I do this - mostly in stores because the print on containers and bottles is so small anymore

This year's NaPoMo: liminal :: I'm writing in : 5 min slots

All while Hegseth is up there spouting off like the one preacher that everyone knew about, but no one would say it out loud because god forbid there's consequences to perceived power.

Tuning into this insane press conference he's giving, I wonder if they figured out their microwave/EMP style weapon in Venezuela and plan to deploy it on Iran.

I really love this prose hybrid piece...we worked on it for YEARS! It's a hermit crab form, multi-genre, weird, witchy and very Appalachian.

You want to read this one. A fiction piece in the form of a naval report…and also there’s witches? One of the most inventive things our editors have read in ages.

My first "fiction" slash prose hybrid in several years and a wonderful collaboration with a dear friend!

Today's "free verse Friday" for the NaPoMo daily forms challenge is a Walt Whitman watersports poem that references Prince and a library resource.

Yeah, gonna be that kind of month

ok the first complete draft turned out halfway decent!

Listen, AI/LLMs are hallucinating and gaslighting people BEFORE they've achieved a version of 'consciousness' :

Imagine what they'll do if they achieve a mathematical equivalent of feeling+thought x information.

Come

Surely not me saying I'd sit out NaPoMo 30/30 challenge then cut to me writing an American Sonnet about Prince for the first day's challenge.
