I make things with pixels but sometimes with gold and silver instead.
"the hoard of weeping crocodiles
scrolled upon their tech
while the pageant of the reptiles
charted new unfathomed depths
and they wondered how they'd navigate
the pit their slaves had dug
I saw Atlas teaching Peter and his Pals all how to shrug
some say the dead'll rise again
maybe they will
if just to vote
I'd rather be that son of darkness
than to know and pretend I don't"
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned
Man Announces He Will Quit Drinking by 2050.
A Sydney man has set an ambitious target to phase out his alcohol consumption within the next 29 years, as part of an impressive plan to improve his health.
The program will see Greg Taylor, 73, continue to drink as normal for the foreseeable future, before reducing consumption in 2049 when he turns 101. He has assured friends it will not affect his drinking plans in the short or medium term.
Taylor said it was important not to rush the switch to non-alcoholic beverages. “It’s not realistic to transition to zero alcohol overnight. This requires a steady, phased approach where nothing changes for at least two decades,” he said, adding that he may need to make additional investments in beer consumption in the short term, to make sure no night out is worse off.

“It turns out that the 2,000-year struggle for Jewish survival comes down to a state of settlements, run by an amoral clique of corrupt lawbreakers who are deaf both to their citizens and to their enemies. A state lacking justice cannot survive,”

The myth about the origin of the Nobel prizes is that when Nobel’s brother died, newspapers mistakingly thought the wealthy, warmongering arms dealer had died and the obituaries were so uniformly awful and condemning that he decided to do something to make sure he would be remembered for something other than his actions
So he made sure the Nobel prizes would be founded after his death
All of which is to say that celebrating when monsters finally die saves lives
So, mock them mercilessly
