PERPLEXED SONNET

I was outside
a store
bending over
adjusting the gearing
on my bicycle
and two
particularly
young girls
made a joke
about hitting my butt.
Then they laughed.
I didn’t know
what to think.
So I laughed with them.

Today Oriental people were taking my picture —maybe they saw the Native American in me.

I am not surprised AI is being used for automated cyberattacks; I am surprised that anyone is surprised.

If you are not much of a writer and prefer using the Calendar app for your stuff —but you want to keep your shit private— don’t use the Calendar app, use the Reminders app but make sure Advance Data Protection is
activated on your device —you are welcome.

If you turn on Advance Data Protection your Notes app
becomes E2EE —you are welcome.
If you want to get to know a person, you could look at their social media.

But the truth also lies within the Notes app: Too private to post, too important to forget, too forgettable to remember.
We asked strangers to show us their Notes app. Here’s what we learned.
A repository of wish lists, reminders and half-baked ideas, the digital jotting pad may be the most analog app in your phone — and in some ways, the most revealing.

I understand why gurus that tell you 'to be truly rich you must want less' are so popular nowadays.

Now you have to be a billionaire to live comfortably.
Americans with six-figure incomes are in 'survival mode'
A six-figure salary doesn't mean what it used to, a new poll suggests.

This is why fundamentalisms are so dangerous.
People experience genuine pleasure—a rush of dopamine—when processing information that supports their beliefs. “It feels good to ‘stick to our guns’ even if we are wrong,” researchers say. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/iXV9M2

One of the reasons Buddhism is so trendy.
How should we structure our time? A Zen monk suggests that we let our inner states dictate what we do when. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Me9nfq

I play my guitar
and a girl with glasses looks
at me and then looks
at my folded Bromptom and
then she looks at me again.

I love playing guitar because pretty girls like me. Also people give you money, food, and fine liquor.
