Hitting them presupposes having one.
I really do.
I want a giant ant to ride on.

I made this!
Am I proud of myself?
Yes.
Yes I am.
My tiny tree has a blossom!
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
“If he needs a weapon, he’ll take one of yours.” Carrie: Borderline power lifter physique under a loose-skinned skull in a canvas trucker cap.

Bad Sector by Cy Dethan Book map showing the cover of Bad Sector by Cy Dethan with these words around it Dystopia Punk noir sci fi The Expectation Office of Justice Silicon and Scar tissue Dead man's handle Sentient City A murderous cyberpunk identity crisis Existential ultra violence Augmented assassins In the sentient city of Expectation, an augmented executioner hunts the murderer of Everyday Carrie, the Woman who Couldn’t Be Killed. Permanent Mark is going to solve this case if it kills him – again. In Expectation, virtually all forms of criminality carry the same penalty: complete neurological rollback to the perpetrator’s last known ‘uncorrupted’ state. For offences beyond conventional remedy, offences against the mechanisms of justice itself, there are the Hangmen. Erased from every surveillance and record-keeping system in Expectation and sharing his brain with a secondary consciousness known as an Advocate, Mark’s investigation sees him spilling blood in every corner of the self-building city, from its molecular reconstructions of Las Vegas and Paris to the scratch-built slums of East End London. Stalked by allies and enemies alike, increasingly questioning the true nature and motives of the stranger in his skull, Mark finds himself lost and hunted in the organic rubble of the First City, the Precursor City, the living ruins of Aspiration. Bad Sector is noir-inflected punk science fiction, an existential anthem of silicon and scar tissue. Available from https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DXCFDL2R

"...C'mon Killer, let's take a walk.” Rachel: Rigid spikes of red hair and a face that could cut glass. Quote and character description from Bad Sector, a cyberpunk murder mystery set in the sentient city of Expectation. Available from https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DXCFDL2R
"I know the reason you came for me, even if you don’t.” Renea: half a century of black-haired frenzy in a business suit she’s been wearing for three months solid.

“How are you alive? I killed you, like, half a dozen times back there.” Faith: She’s dressed like an angry argument. A clumsy riot of nonsensical styles and sharpened metals.

"This morning I watched the deer
with beautiful lips touching the tips
of the cranberries, setting their hooves down
in the dampness carelessly, isn't it after all
the carpet of their house, their home, whose roof
is the sky?"

See, Internet, see?
Confirmed by an independent party.
"Still cool" I whisper to myself.
Once the coughing has stopped.
Listening to the new Gogol Bordello album, doing a little dance, got carried away and swigged my tea like a swashbuckling folk punk pirate...it went up my nose from the back and my body made a seal bark and explosively expelled it all over the floor.
Anyway, it's a banger.

So leaving aside the wild and cognitively dissonant idea that in recent years it's the House of Lords that seems to be the voice of reason in UK politics, here they are calling out the fact that "UK creative industries face a clear and present danger from generative AI"

How To Build A Scream Machine. "So JN3 left her last battlefield, where many had died who had not lived, and she wished that one day she may have her own child.

Beautiful moon.
Phone demon can't capture it but he's done his best.
Paul Verhoeven watches the news in an increasing state of incredulous bewilderment at the characters of Hawked-Up Hegseth and Agent Orange ...
"It was SATIRE guys! SATIRE!"
Right?
Is that the word? I think that might not be the word...
Take care over there!
This is a fantastic article.
It's time for your real life #Cyberpunk dystopian fact of the day, kids...
Although you might say if *I* have an AR-15 and *you* have 64mb of DDR5 RAM then very soon *I* shall have an AR-15 AND 64mb of DDR5 RAM...
Being from the UK I had to look up if this is ACTUALLY true...and it is!
I’m a loner, Frodo. A rebel.
This morning I saw an actual sunbeam slipping in through the curtains!
I went in the garden and the sky was blue and a there was a butterfly!
This evening we went for a twilight walk and saw the first blackthorn blossoms under a gold full moon.
It's Spring now.
I've called it.
