On Thursday I checked them out and finished reading them on Saturday. These are big thick books. Each project is astonishing. I was in thrall. This is being written and posted on Saturday night. I couldn't wait to extol and highly recommend.

Sunday Lit: demand and supply
I chose to cancel my subscriptions to, and daily delivery of, the newspapers.
When queried by each paper as to why I wasn’t renewing
I clicked on Content.
Discontented with content.
Here’s a list of what I’ve been reading
To fill the vacuum left by the cancellations
And more importantly
To become content with content again.

Super nice guy.
Kind of self-conscious about that third g.

Talk to Naz.
Talk to Hsu Ma Yee.
Don’t talk to me.

Drift Detected from Read-Only Reports
Although my brand value has dropped thirty percent
Because the validating resolver over-microreacted
And now refuses to verify if the domain harbors
Broken records, outdated keys, or
Worst case, a bad chain
Forged, altered, untrustworthy.
I seek experience, not merely life
And by extracting byte-grounded dependencies
It adds deterministic whole-catalog applications and
Turns everything into a wraparound revenue stream
An ad hoc sandbox in a replayable ledger
A content-addressed fixity capsule
To where I would not be afraid to say
If we’re not the only species to ever extinct itself
We must be among the first to delight in doing so.

Radicalized by Cute
Walk us through and tell us why
Intimacy corridors turned debris fields
Beloved gastropub destroyed
And our real feel is dead.
Follow the thread Ariadne said
Railing and stair, ebook and zine
On sidewalks and buses and light rail
And quit hitting on me like I’m teriyaki beef jerky.
The Modelos Negras in tallboy camo
They like in shock
Immiscible, like me incapable
Of mixing or attaining homogeneity.
I’m posting as fast as I can
City Hall North or wherever
All that came before will be
Like nothing that comes after.

Anamneses
THE DROP
There’s definitely like the dopamine hit
Of a voguish runway trend
Or a limited-edition
Always fresh
Always creamy
Celebrating the new drop
Cameras is everywhere
Like every other release
From jail at 3 a.m.
ENTER HERE TO EXIT
Handled a lot of freight in my day
Never created a clip or a reel
No gaming, no podcasts, no Coachella.
So I won’t have interesting notebooks
Situated, embodied, and with blame foistable
Onto every feed and frosted flake.
Not Funes the memorious nor
Expy Ali Dough-Schuss the creator not
Even Annabel Nectar of Gnashvull Tennis-E.

Terms of Service
According to what’s in the operational handbook
Your official We’ve Always Never Done It That Way Before guide
Actionable insights lead to kinetic multipliers,
There is no status quo
Everything is kinetic and
Prioritizes day of launch support
And by continuing you agree to
Recursive self-improvement,
Same scowls, same killas
But the chic has turned drip
Even as prices rise
Ain’t nobody “slumming” no more.
I mean if I had to sort of
Walk the ivy plank and
With unfathomable chats
Frameworks and registries
Upend the narrative and
Sort of look ahead
To what the best and brightest have endowed
Our species to ensure replication
All the bonding and attraction accoutrements
And how to avoid the choke points
The burning sensation of destination fees
Or getting caught stealing seriously stanky thrift store shoes.
Well, maybe I’m over-thinking it
Maybe I just need to chill
To reify, valorize, and swipe left
Enjoy the swaying hips of all the Mamis
Dancing on the aura platform
See algo say algo.
