From naught, bitterness
rises up. Vinegar too.
I could kick the cat.

He that sows the storm
Leaving chaos in his wake
Shall reap the whirlwind

Did the window break?
Crack lined this winter morning
Jack Frost, at it again

#haiku #poetry #goodmorning

Spoon goes tap, tap, crack
Brittle yet silky dessert
Creme brulee delights!

Congratulations to David Quetta!

The wind creaks the house
As the cold front settles in
My old bones ache too

Back home with my lover
Arms tangled and breath is shared
Returned from groceries

Honest question:

*sitting down at a digital slot machine*
Ahhh... My old friend: the 3rd worst video game ever created

Does the genre of tragedy exist for movies? Outside of Shakespeare adaptations, I can't think of any

Neander-thralls

Dunno if I've said this in mastodon yet, so here goes:

EVERY union should have an explicit goal for % of board seats to control and the funding for this should be separate from all other pooled funds.

This may mean stock purchases on the open market, it may mean negotiating with institutional investors to punch above your weight. For unions at privately held companies, you should be first in line any time there is a whiff of equity being raised OR credit being sought.

Did you see The Expanse on Amazon Prime or did you read the books by James S A Corey? I can't help but think about Holden as I watch Twitter implode, and just how absolutely right the character was.

The refrain in the series is: two (or more) powers are in conflict, it's about to get existential and winner-take-all. Then ol' Jimmy Holden wanders in and forces them to stop fighting. He doesn't ask them to play nice, he forces them into a stable equilibrium.

His main drive as a character is that anyone who thinks they have all the answers is both wrong and a tyrant in the making (or already made). And I just hear that over and over with Musk. How he has the answers, then we see that his answers are simplistic and bound to fail when confronted with a complex reality.

Like Holden, I believe the only way is to empower stakeholders at various levels. It's the only way to ensure your plan will fit a complex reality. Unfortunately, it means everyone's great idea is revealed as garbage and it's emotionally and egoistically very difficult

Abandoned lot
Ring fence chained potential
The children play there

Gentle first flurry
Windblown flakes' caressing touch
Soft, so you want more

BRB, telling all the COVID truthers I know that for the same reason that they think it's good to catch COVID they should also stop using hypoallergenic products and start buying my maximally hyper-allergenic alternatives. I'm telling you the supplements are 100% cat dander

Gonna start a counter-conspiracy. This much I know is true:

The lizard people are real. They mostly live deep in the crust of the earth where they're powers are strongest. At the surface they're very weak, hardly able to be told from a human. They are actively trying to flatten the earth so they can conquer the surface. This process will destroy the climate as well know it.

How you can help: vote for climate conscious candidates. Support funding and research for "green" technologies. Those willing to sacrifice our climate are at best useful idiots and at worst actual humanity hating lizard people

Multiplexing.

The Definition: a method by which multiple analog or digital signals are combined into one signal over a shared medium

The experience: you ask how the chicken tastes and I give you a thumbs up

Three months of waiting
Two bags packed and ready
One last kiss goodbye
