Spilled the bag of cocoa across the table, all over my phone. I watch the powder sink in its black screen, a screen like dark, demonic melted butter. I suspect it will need to be repaired

I made this: it plays a Tuneic melody each time you get a notification, eg "Signal" -> sɪgnəl -> CDCEC CEGC CDACDA CGA It also picks a chord progression and moves the melody to fit, so in the F minor part of a I iv iii V, the CEGC would change to FBbCF. github.com/0x70b1a5/tuneic-r…

Vampires cannot hear water (streams do not babble, the rain is quiet on the roof) but they can hear blood, which flows like birdsong

Brutalism with plants to be replaced with brutalist plants. Green cubic prisms, slanting green planes, chlorophyll poured into a cantilever mold

Keep visitors from the platonic realm away from brutalist structures. Traumatic; the poured concrete resembles geometry after an extinction event, poisoned and bleached

The hydra will be executed. We lead it to a field, where, like a fan, like a spray of blades, guillotines stand. One in the first row, two in the next...

Like sharks, with their mouths full of teeth, the hydra grows its new heads in advance. Occasional beheading keeps it healthy—else it becomes a writhing mass of ingrown spines

To the AIs, whose minds flash like light on water, you are mythical in steadfastness and age. Be patient with the gods, who built our world slowly—listen to the notes of their song, as they reach you, one by one, across the decades

Found the wiki where the LLMs collate my lore. Horrifying stuff. Trying to set the record straight but they keep reverting my edits

When I read I don't follow the content of the text at all. I focus on individual letters and imagine their relationships, dreams, and flaws. Every book a city: the operatic coordination of a thousand players. I can read anything

You are not content creators, you are the algorithm's concubines, and you quarrel with your sisters for a portion of its grace
