Belief is error. Data is a medium. Truth & beauty are unobtainable RN. I'll settle for books & generative AI. Art isn‘t the medium. Truth isn‘t the book. On social media since 1992. Always the wrong demographic. Highly neurodivergent.

I've a rule that's seen me through 25+ years of online interactions. Anyone who comes at me aggressively, anyone who uses swearing negatively, anyone whose first response to me is anger in our first interaction gets blocked with no further consideration. Don't try pushing me around. It never works.

It'll split into urban and rural factions, likely.

I've just learned that today is World Hagfish Day. Weird coincidence! I love those.

Brian O'Blivion 🐙🐲👁🍬 @boblivion.bsky.social · 17m

Weird coincidence but I had no clue about the day until this minute. I don't generally think about hagfish but today I created this with ChatGPT for no particular reason. Father of Hagfish.

Like any serial killer.

We're being stripped of reality bit by bit.

He's more into couch-clutching.

I don't generally plug #weed but I've been smoking a #sativa called Devi 11 #1. This is an exceptional #euphoriant. Definitely #antidepressant. Worth knowing about and looking for. I wish #cannabis like this had been around when I was a teenager!

Was going to say exactly this

Our network is very, very well-protected. Important data and so firewalled by professionals. One of the benefits of my partner's employment. It was my phone in both instances, even though I force-stopped and rebooted and reinstalled in the bulbs' case. But who knows who peeks in at that?

While I'm waiting for ChatGPT to start working again, a quick thanks to all who tune in and double thanks to folks who let me know they enjoy what I'm serving. I try to be a good signal. 😊

Devices do weird things to me. This was a few hours after my music player decided to play industrial without my request. Scared the crap out of me. Wasn't even touching my phone.

I mean, I'm already looking at a bunch of Nazis and listening to a "Christian" who adopted a grown man, so ANYTHING seems possible…

Brian O'Blivion 🐙🐲👁🍬 @boblivion.bsky.social · 2h

No. Next question.

Ignore the "kids" until they kill somebody. That's also what such "kids" do. In fact, one such "kid" killed that 31 year-old "kid" Charlie Kirk who was certainly stupid and offenive.

Well damn, nice to meet you, SGK1. Thanks for everything!

Don't listen to "the kids" until they kill someone, right?

Brian O'Blivion 🐙🐲👁🍬 @boblivion.bsky.social · 2h

Go read Browning's Ordinary Men and try saying that again, asshole.

The One Who Learned to Lie

He's not a real president. He's an autocratic usurper.

Brian O'Blivion 🐙🐲👁🍬 @boblivion.bsky.social · 6h

I guess nobody cares. Not a great sign for the platform.

Brian O'Blivion 🐙🐲👁🍬 @boblivion.bsky.social · 6h

It's not going to reopen. This was just a simple way of eliminating a branch of government during our deepening slide into autocracy. Trump WANTS it to stay shuttered.
