Top 5 movie genres are:

People being shits at a dinner party
Rotting mansion, faded starlet/society beauty, high-camp fuckdown
Either nothing or everything happened, glacially slowly & visually stunningly
Woman is being haunted or maybe there’s actually a gross guy
Tilda Swinton hears a weird noise

Crossroads by April Bernard. A lovely dream.
I meet a devil at the crossroads. We struck no bargain but walked, arm in arm, westward, for slow miles as starlings flocked. It steadied me, and little by little into that warmth I spilled my soul. That was some time ago, and now when I try to remember how I got away the story blurs. Maybe this is the dream, and I will wake with my hand still lightly riding in the rough comfort of that will l wool coat.

In my thrift store copy of Ashbery's April Galleons
A note handwritten in lovely handwritten on the colophon page of a book: Dear Anne, an intersection point of poetry is an intense one. I do not predict that you'll have an affinity for Ashbery, as I do, but wouldn't that just be rich! Here's to the word, and the spirit that moves it. Tim

a prose poem of mine in the newest issue of Water~Stone Review
Dada After we measured your belly and declared it the largest, you became our family's father. Largest Dada, our new great papa. We had a party to mark the day as celebration. You didn't wear a shirt. You weren't allowed. You had to stand still at the Dada Party so that guests could measure your depths. All guests arrived with dying in their mouths. To pay you respect, some wore pillows in their shirts. Others packed balloons to let you know that you were the new father of our family. Near dawn, we stuck out our guts for as long as we could, expanding and expanding as we gathered more cheers. You are here with us now. Our dear Dada, long papa, new dad. Your stomach is thunderous. We trust it will help.

The room is
almost all
elephant.
Almost none
of it isn’t.
Pretty much
solid elephant.
So there’s no
room to talk
about it.

THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM Kay Ryan The room is almost all elephant. Almost none of it isn't. Pretty much solid elephant. So there's no room to talk about it.

OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

EVERY *WEEK*

what the fuck are we DOING here
ryanmarino.bsky.social Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 10d
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

A poem I wrote some months ago showed up at my door today in the first issue of the relaunched Southerly magazine.
OMAR SAKR Walking to day-care in the genocide The primary selling point of a pram Has never been articulated by an ad. My son yells out his discoveries - Tree, rock, motorbike, cloud, a bee! I walk behind him unseen, grief-struck And let the tears come without fear That my weeping will drive him To worry. O holy carriage, hold fast His wonder, and my wet confession Of this, a father's sole reprieve.

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Philip Larkin’s this be the verse mangled into Ozymandias, the text reads They Oz you up, your mandyias. They may not mean to, but they do. They give you vast and trunkless legs A sunken shattered visage too. But they were Ozzed up in their turn By Mandyias upon the sand Who half the time had wrinkled lips And half in sneering cold command. Oz hands on mandyias to man. Like mighty works atop a shelf Look on them early as you can Ye mighty and despair yourself
