Positive denial.
The shell cracked. I emerged. How it will end is anyone’s guess.
Positive denial.
Subspace interference.
Groundhog Day.
Edibles from the local dispensary here in California.
Because Fuck Adobe.
This might be advertising, not news.
“… back, and to the left.”
So how will Apple craft this announcement in a way that avoids showing some kind of submission to the will and desires of the Android juggernaut? Let me guess… Anyone texting in from hardware other than an iPhone will still get the funky balloon color, eh?
If a bear shits in the woods, is the Pope Catholic? (Equally perplexing question…)
I think the next hundred years will bring more changes to humanity than the last 10,000 years have. We have devised methods to gaslight ourselves; we’re moving into a world where the concept of truth is malleable and unknowable. The machines will get smarter, the rich will get richer. I’ll be 66 years old in about a month. I have many more yesterdays than tomorrows. I’m not looking forward to leaving this world, but I’m not particularly interested in being a participant in what comes next.
Sure, the guy was a murderer and somewhat nuts, but this quote of his always rang true with me. This is, in a nutshell, the future: “But I am suggesting neither that the human race would voluntarily turn power over to the machines nor that the machines would willfully seize power. What I do suggest is that the human race might easily permit itself to drift into a position of such dependence on the machines that it would have no practical choice but to accept all of the machines’ decisions. Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won’t be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide.”
Can’t get them to run on Windows.
Now you come to me and you’ve got green streaks in your hair
You walk like Greta Garbo, but you talk like Yogi Bear
What’s going on? What’s going on?
I really don’t believe what’s going on; what’s going on?

Yep. That’s why I also pay for it. It’s a reasonable price for a valued service. Moaners gotta moan.
Sometimes people ask if I want a drink. I say no, I don’t drink, thanks. If they say why, I say “I’ve had enough.”
I didn’t go anywhere. I spend a lot of time on YouTube and enjoy the service immensely. Also, YouTube Music is my main streaming source. And yeah, I pay for both, every month. It’s worth it to me. YMMV.
What is this boredom of which you speak?
Tangled up in Blue.
