National Poetry Day, you say? It has to be this:
Kim Addonizio
TO THE WOMAN CRYING UNCONTROLLABLY
IN THE NEXT STALL
If you ever woke in your dress at 4 A.M. ever 
closed your legs to a man you loved opened 
them for one you didn't moved against 
a pillow in the dark stood miserably on a beach 
seaweed clinging to your ankles paid good money for a bad haircut backed away 
from a mirror that wanted to kill you bled 
into the back seat for lack of a tampon 
if you swam across a river under rain sang 
using a dildo for a microphone stayed up to watch the moon eat the sun entire 
ripped out the stitches in your heart 
because why not if you think nothing & no one can / listen I love you joy is comingTattoo on my arm that reads “listen I love you joy is coming”

For those in England & Wales who don’t get them on the NHS: private flu & covid jabs are available from today. I’ve just had both at my local pharmacy. £115 for the pair. Yes, that’s expensive, but if you’re a freelancer & don’t get sick pay it’s probably a lot cheaper than taking time off.

But of course the previous skank was cultivating his very own fatberg, of course he was
A bath filled with washing up in various stages, a big pan soaking in a washing up bowl, a draining rack with bowls and pans visible on the top layer, a pan and cake tin on a drying mat in a crate. All saved from last night when the Great Regurgitation happened. 

Fucking skank

I took some peripheral photos of the current state of the world around the Anglia Square demolition. And it happening as well. It’s still fascinating, all the shapes and lines and alignments of a slowly degrading piece of city opening up and showing a bare layered soul as the world walks by.
The arm of one beast through the arm of another. Very black and white. I’m posting these here because Instagram is so utterly fucking pointless for photographers.

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal.

We dunk a lot on AI here but the more I learn about it the more I believe that it is actually Evil in as much as evil is a quality that exists and that an object, rather than a person or action can have. Absolutely rancid antithetical-to-the-very-business-of-being-human shit. Chuck it in Mount Doom.

People like Professor Bollocks could have, should have and probably DID know better. From the very onset we knew COVID was a vasculitis posing as a respiratory infection. It binds endothelial ACEII receptors. That's why the early tests were all wildly abnormal coagulation labs like D-dimer.

A thing I learned not too long ago is that when an LLM selects a token that leads it down an incorrect path (factually), it has no way to back up, or even know that it should back up, it's just on to the next likely bit. Literally every LLM is just posting their way through it. What an image.

Researchers find that one-time trainings about consent can actually increase perpetration. In my interviews with young men, they told me that they knew no one believed what they were saying because it hadn’t come up before—and no one actually held men accountable anyway.

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc

The whole point of humans as a sociable, tribal species is we should eject people like this, so they starve in the wilderness alone. There are consequences to sociopathic behaviour. Somehow the abstract idea of money has short circuited our basic evolutionary safeguards.
