Good morning from Tokyo. Had 9hrs sleep last night. Most I've had in about three weeks or more. In Yokohama late afternoon, shooting an artist friend's show. Looking forward to that.

Whatever you're up to, have a great Sunday.

Love & peace

❤️👍🌈🙏

This is so embarrassing, but it seems that you have mistaken me for that other person on the internet who likes to argue with random people.

I'm thinking of blocking access to content on my site to anyone not running an ad blocker.

Thoughts?

How to write good.
1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
5. One should never generalize.
6. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
7. Be more or less specific.
8. Sentence fragments? Eliminate.
9. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
10. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
11. Who needs rhetorical questions?

"I discovered that the unrented office suites directly next door are a time capsule of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and we got permission from the building owners to put on an exhibition of vintage computers and telephones in the offices."

"There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment."

- Hunter S. Thompson

"ChatGPT is fast-tracking the commodification of the human spirit by mechanising the imagination. It renders our participation in the act of creation as valueless and unnecessary. ... [U]sing ChatGPT to write ... lyrics because it is 'faster and easier ,'is participating in this erosion of the world’s soul and the spirit of humanity itself" - Nick Cave

My flight at gate 404 is delayed because... the plane isn't there.

I am not making this up.

I mean, yeah, I dislike some ways #BBC reports about matters but I am still happy they decided to participate in the #Fediverse.

Heck even if #CNN joins I will be happy, and I loathe their reporting.

You want decentralised #SocialMedia to gain popularity and diversity, or do you just want to keep it "pure" and populated by people who agree with you?

Doesn't sound very inclusive...
