Occasional writer. Always a reader. Sometime musician and voice actor, more often sound engineer. Cement-punk overtones with a philosophical subtext, served amidst the aroma of the world's end.

I do have one VERY important note on this - do not be stanning the current regime in Venezuela as some sort of reaction. They’re appalling.
Here’s a little extract from a story I wrote a year or so back, written from the perspective of a Venezuelan woman. She’s fictional. The stat isn’t.

I have a piece of equipment in my mixing rig that smooths the power to help limit noise. Normally it displays the variations in mains voltage, changing every half second or so between about 240-255. This morning it's crashed and stuck on an... interesting number. The electricity of THE BEAST.

Hey, you really don't have to snub them: just take them to task every time some ill-conceived lump of persecution politics comes out of their mouths. They'll soon snub you rather than have to examine their own opinions - that's exactly how flagwaving works.
Ask me how I know.

As recent polls go, this isn't quite the winner in terms of how crushingly disappointing people can be, but it's on the list.

"No cheating, your last saved celebrity pic is your therapist."
Yeah? Well.
I know authors who cheat - and authors who use therapists - and they're all cowards.

Considering the structural similarities of social media & political interactions in how they defy attempts to use structural flaws in arguments to dissolve them, I thought of the 'chicken & egg' regression in blame-games, and happened upon this on Wikipedia, which rather contextualises my bullshit:

Plane nerd as a child, so there are so many to choose from. I suppose maybe it could have been SR-71, F-14 or even Mig-25, but the one that MADE me a child plane nerd was the Harrier. The V/STOL thing is just too cool to ignore!
