Cecilia, where I get my awesome from

My mom as a teenager, effortlessly cool.

Abandoned Gas Station Circuit (@stationcircuit) There is silence, and there is Silence. You feel me, friend? That night, on that impossible date... I didn't know it until then. Until that hot summer's night. Here, still cold, nice ain't it? Yeah....

"The thing about silence is, the longer it stays unbroken, the harder it is to break. It can fossilize, become obsidian."

Abandoned Gas Station Circuit (@stationcircuit) You must be lost. Not a lot of people ever visit here. Christ, can you blame ‘em? Ever since the circuit burned, the air’s been… glitching out. There's a certain sizzle to it. A low frequency hum, l...

You pull over, twilight bends the sun to orange, deep. Steeped in the liminal, you feel... Something like the feel of something. From long ago. Dead electricity. The ghost of it. A man stands next to you, as if he always has. His hands are dirty. But he smiles at you.

What the hell is wrong with the duolingo owl? Dude's been crying non-stop for a week. I mean, Jesus. What are we supposed to make of all the absurdist bullshit that owl gets up to? Truly, the state of our society is reflected in our lang learning apps. Duolingo betrays your degeneracy!

"Hey look everyone, it's René Descartes! Hey René, say the thing!" "I don't know guys, it's been a long day..." Chanting "SAY THE LINE! SAY THE LINE! SAY THE LINE!" "Sigh...."

To ergo sum is human, but to cogito, divine.

Thanks dude. Turning 38 in a few days. Needed to hear that 😂

Jubilee, Veo3

I want to go back to this day. Back to when the highest state of concentrated joy could still be found behind the CRT. Inside the beige box of a pentium 3. In the interface of teenager and machine, where flesh and blood meet hard plastic keys, and dances in the effort of mastery over awkward controls. The transformer transfer that births; a true Mechwarrior.

Mechwarrior on a pentium 3 😌

Yeah okay, but are you as cool as this guy?

That's what I thought.

A newly sutured, but just as vicious, version of this thing I let loose the night before.

Post-Modern Prometheus A labor of love, and pride.

Oh shit! Got a whole new... Thing here for you.

This one's about creativity, the kind that tests you. Here's a taste:

How I feel trying to convince myself to just go to bed already, and stop the endless cycle of sleep debt.

Today's the day.

French underground grunge punk hip hop with its own mythological themes? Yes please.
