Lost in Whatever

 

"Mignonette," he said.

Sauce, herb, dainty? She replied, 

"Sesquipedalian."

To control earthlings (b4 MAD & #radioactive disaster):


1. Destroy belief in democracy and the republic.


  (a) People vote for 'the best of the worst'.


     (i) Voters can't make out who is left, right, center, fascist or religious fundamentalist.


     (ii) Use rich androids to influence the masses.


     (iii) Increase the number of jobless addicted to losing gambles.


     (iv) Mollycoddle the middle-class before extermination.


  (b) Update software if you need 1(b).

Socalgia

 

#vss365 #myopic


Socalgia is a type of pygalgia. 


For the sake of generality, “soc” here includes any channel of chatter and social networking using information and communication technology (ICT). It should be emphasized here that the “pain” relates to that experienced at a personal and psychological level and does not include the distress caused by virulent attacks involving identity theft, virtual bullying and hate-mongering.


In its first decade, the rapid growth of various channels of chatter via ICT was mostly viewed through rosy, though #myopic, lenses. In its second decade, businesses and governments realized its immense scope. 


What began as a means for virtual bonhomie has evolved into the proverbial Trojan horse. Even ardent fans ask, "It feels good but what lies within?"

listen well

 

Listen well. Then act.

"Keep a #copse behind the house."

The corpse didn't give shade.

Blowing in the wind.

With you, love was not #complex.

Without, simply dead.

A #slithy creature took charge.
