REBLOG: ‘Manufactured Desire’ by Jeff Flesch

Poem

I am a flower petal fallen to earth, shattered. A piece in a game, a pawn in a machine. Gears turn, but no one's home. Silent stimuli, irresistible impulse—manufactured desire. I am aware, sifting through messages of my own repair.

PPE is vital for safe operation of machines, vehicles, powertools, drills et al. I use these types of gloves to operate my race machines safely

It is crucial to know what your PPE actually protects you against.

That knowledge enables you to implement that PPE for many different situations and use cases.

Is AI the true enemy, or just a convenient distraction from systemic failure?
