the inexpressible heartbreak, the impossible labor of art: i am full of metal and cancer and these are my songs, my terrible children, this is my work, i bring it to you cupped in broken hands.

genius dot com annotation: "cancer is a type of disease. it is being used here as a metaphor"

my other high-confidence observation is that i'm usually wrong about stuff, so by saying "ai isn't a bubble" i'm goading the universe to prove me wrong

there's some weird thing happening where people say Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie. i'm left flabbergasted and speechless. i think it's happening alongside Phantom Menace revisionism, a winking and outrageous opinion

i can't imagine a single system that would be totally resilient degradation and corruption by bad actors over decades or centuries. even a perfectly egalitarian democracy would be vulnerable to a stupid and cruel populace

maybe authoritarian is here because a lot of people wanted authoritarianism

all crawling vines and bitter fruit

just thinkin bout stuff
