all advertising is evil except:
- stickers on public lampposts
- handwritten messages in bathroom stalls
- flyers pinned to coffee shop bulletin boards
- stickers in dive bars
- personals section of a printed newspaper

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.

It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

PEA SOUP!!!!
A foggy picture taken of a small river just outside of Mystic, CT from a moving train. A little blurry with dark greens and browns contrasting the very soupy fog. One long boardwalk to a small dock on the right. A foggy picture taken of a small river just outside of Mystic, CT from a train in motion. Blurry trees are in the foreground. I cropped the other image to take out the reflection of the train’s interior because it looks a little like some dramatic mountain in the distance but left it in this one since the foreground is more interesting.

happy boxing day! I have post-xmas COVID, which is a bummer, but I’m really glad to have these two poems in the new issue of The Orphic Review: orphicpress.com
At the Hatchery I don’t know if I want to live this close to the fathead minnow epicenter, hundreds of small mouths that need feeding the same way my closet needs cleaned. One of the fish wrote an apology: Forgive me, I didn’t trust you when you didn’t pay $20 for the day-long license. But then while planting the water lilies you stepped on a snail & god became another little death in the dark, same as always, the crown on the father’s head a bad joke to the son & a ghost hopping from sunrise to sunrise like a little rabbit… [abandoned] Substance Abuse of Notation One barrel-chested idea I’m trying To get through life with is: Demons Are lighter on the shoulder than in The air. There is no next clown, he Quit as soon as he heard the rate Of survival for attempts after the 1st. I’ve got a violin though, smoldering, Old, one of the instruments you can sing While playing. I’m set up outside The Kmart where you bought my Bassinet, center of a particular city Beneath a sky of plastic stars, hot Cars, a comeback you thought of but Never used, the pallbearer’s bruise.

This is the most generous party theme!! All hail the birthday girl!!!
Party invite details that read: “ATTIRE: ok the invitation i extend to you is to wear the thing from ur closet you most desperately want to wear, but never get the chance to. the insane gown you could not resist thrifting even tho it wasn’t practical?? YES. the hat bcuz you decided you were gonna become a hat person?? SURE. a wig you bought for one costume and have not touched since?? ABSOLUTELY. Or just wear normal clothes, i don’t care - but u do have license to be extravagant & fancy if u so choose 👑 “

Found poem
A sunset skyline with a few bare trees. Power lines stretch along a row of utility poles receding from the viewer; between two of the lines, a there is a fingernail-sliver of crescent moon, and above them, one star.
