I'll dive into this. Hope I'm tagging correctly. My poem for #PoemsAbout #DeadLetters Ping to @thebrokenspine.co.uk

A NEW CAR

He always liked a new car
endlessly patrolling town
to ferret out the best deal

after he’d stopped driving
and then walking
and then sitting
he still talked about it

as if life were a circle that
always returned on itself
given enough time
and not a tightening knot

to grin in blazing sun
to roar on open roads
a hope for better times
or for any times at all

I live close enough to work that I can walk there through the woods. It has its moments.

Woodland path with a building in the distance obscured by glowing fog. The windows have a golden colour.

I don't know how people manage to read AI-written posts. My eyes and mind glaze over the moment I see there's no human intention behind the text, that it was assembled by the most-likely-word machine. Stop, people. I know it FEELS like writing, but it isn't. Just say what you want to say. In words.

Swedish populists: "Immigrants need to integrate!" Immigrants go to vote in large numbers. Swedish populists: "No, that's too much integrating!"

I loved the World War Z movie. I re-watched it yesterday since I've seen loads of people saying it was shit, just to check. No, still great. I suspect those people were mostly "THE BOOK WAS SO MUCH BETTER" people. Obviously Israel being nice to Arabs was unbelievable, but otherwise it was solid.

I'm sure Musk could provide a backing band of shit robots for Sheeran. Just gotta ask.

If I knew any Sheeran songs I'd do a clever pun. But I don't know a single fucking one.

Bit of an annoying result in the Swedish election but bright points are that the ruling alliance appears to have lost their majority and the populist nationalist anti-science angry man's moron party Swedish Democrats dropped from over 20% to 17.7% (ish). So fuck them, the brown-shirted fucks.

In my job as a tech writer I am so sick of subject matter experts sending me AI-made articles. Even badly phrased, poorly constructed, mumbly human-made drivel is better, since I know there's intention behind it, and I can dig it out. An AI article is teflon garbage. A glacier of nothingness.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Amazing how a presentation from a "wellness expert" can leave some of us gasping at the sheer awfulness of the bullshit and multiple scientific errors and lies on display, but leave others in the same room thinking, wow, that was a fantastic talk, I must take this man's advice!

I don't like how everyone is running around all the time these days. Even the bloody zombies. Back in my day zombies were chill and you just needed a heavy stick and a light stroll. Now you have to be a fucking sprinter. Call this progress?

I sent a "Happy birthday!" to a friend and my phone first autocorrected it to "Hairy burgandy!" which let's be honest is a lot better.

I'm at our stuga (a Swedish summer house, very low key) and the pump at the well appears to be broken. So to survive I'm collecting rainwater. In a kettle. It feels glorious. The water tastes of roof tile and has floaty bits but still - glorious!

Because the one thing that comes to mind when I think of the fascist-hugging Moderaterna is that party who preserves our nature and green spaces.

Just seen my last show at the Pop Up Puppets festival - "Dead as a Dodo" by Wakka Wakka. Wonderful! Utterly great. That's 4 wonderful shows out of 5 (the fifth was fine but not wonderful). Festival success! www.wakkawakka.org/dead-as-a-dodo

It's utterly clear Trump does not actually know what a deal is. He has no clue. In his diseased brain it's something you say to get the other person to give you stuff, but then you can just ignore it. "A Trumpian bargain" one might call it.

Nothing lights a fire in my brain and soul and reminds me it's good to be alive like good weird theatre. And I've seen 2 amazing shows in 2 days at Stockholm's Pop Up Puppets festival and I'm still buzzing: Pinocchio Live and Epidermis Circus - utter perfection. And I have two more shows to go! 1/2

Seen posters for Swedish political party "Medborgerlig Samling". I got a vibe and checked and - yup: - Lower taxes for the rich - Out with all the brown people - Climate change a hoax / not our problem. Basically an SD for those who consider themselves a bit too fancy for SD. Pack of gobshites.

Just interacted with a dude who posted some execrable gen AI content and thought everyone was annoyed at him because he hadn't used the latest and best AI. Like, it was the quality of his AI slop that was the problem, and not that he posted that shit and assumed we'd just eat it. Incredible.

An ex workmate joined a company with the stated mission "To hydrate a billion people" which sounds like a threat. Can we drop this stupid obsession with "hydration"? Grown adults gulping water like thirsty cows? Just drink water when you're thirsty, you knob. Like we've done for millions of years.
