We're hearing about drones at war, but what about when they are convenient reusable product packaging

They want robots, and sooner or later they will get them. The actions and words of people like Musk and Thiel make it clear they would rather do without the humans and just have a few hundred billionaires, their robots, and maybe a mass of humanity living wild like animals for breeding stock

For love ys so ancient a worde
And love dareth thee to care for
The folke upon the brinke of despayre
And love asketh thee to chaunge ower waye of
Caringe about owerselves
Thys ys ower last daunse
Thys ys ower laust daunse
Thys ys owerselves
undir pressure
undir pressure

Poetry in progress: Deep Mud, drafts 4-6 | S.A. Barton Get more from S.A. Barton on Patreon

Relaxing into an old pattern of working on multiple creative projects at once & coming back to them in turns. This poem's turn is coming back soon and I hope to finish it. Poem drafts of something that short going into double digits would be silly, but 🤷‍♂️ www.patreon.com/posts/150120...

On the voicemail with the message "UNMONITORED MAILBOX. THIS VOICEMAIL IS NOT MONITORED."

The old game of nobility and peasantry, back again in new costume.
Maybe we're kicking off the Second Dark Ages and people of the 3000s will wonder why we didn't figure out that one WEIRD LITTLE TRICK that turns AI cyberdystopia into something human made for humans

The world is run by Bond villains and their spokespeople

Bump. Like my work, but can't support? I gotcha. Like it but don't know if you should support? Awesome! You can still get all my stuff for free to see if it's up your alley.

I was shocked to see RJK Jr down only 4 points, then I realized most people just think of him as the wacky sidekick on a reality show* and pay his wormeaten toilet coke babble no mind

*This administration DEF has BIG wigsnatching reality show vibes. Did you SEE Bondi?

Well, *they're* not planning to vote. Their president told them they don't have to anymore. They don't seem to give a flying fk at a rolling donut about basic human rights so I'm sure they're glad to be free of the hassle

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

It's exactly this. Musk never gets called on the fact that he's been 10 years out from a moon colony for the last 16 years; Republicans never get called on anything; why wouldn't CEOs start testing out this new accountability-free zone and just say whatever's convenient to manipulate the moment?

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Next they'll be telling us 9 out of 10 doctors smoke Camels

Maybe the country that imprisons more people per capita than anyone else should think twice about more imprisonment being a solution to anything

Future generations will wonder how much influence the mass exposure of most people on earth to lead aerosols for most of the 20th century had on the current world dumpster fire.
I wonder why more people don't wonder more now.
More pressing matters, I suppose

Not to mention, polygraphs are more pseudoscience than not. "Reading" them is as much art as science and they've been known to be unreliable for like 70 years. That's why they're not in every courtroom & used every case

RUSvUKR is to drones what WW1 was to airplanes.
I shudder at *my* imagination; who knows what people who *need* to kll attackers must imagine out of necessity. Or the cleverest techs/engineers, or the ones who enjoy kllng..

Five Guys is some boutique price yuppoid crap.
Once, never again--when I heard the price I unmindfully snapped, "you should have gone somewhere else."
Then I ate it: mid greaseburger and mid fries. Not even the old mid that meant mediocre; the new mid that means crap
