It’s been a super weird day and I’m struggling with loving and hating humans at the same time. We are quite the species.

Heard a single atom brushing lightly against my front door and apparently it was the postman knocking with a parcel.

I used to work in a job that put me in the homes and haunts of incredibly wealthy people. Yes, they really are as awful as you imagine.

call me old fashioned, but I prefer to see humanity get its comeuppance from atomically-mutated animals rather than brain-rotting chatbots and drug-crazed billionaires whipping up algorithmic incel jihads
