There once was a dead king named Oz
Who thought he ruled all, just because
His legs and his face
Are left alone in the space
Where his statue once stood, gathering mos

you do not have to be king
you do not have to make your knees
into trunkless legs of stone
looking upon your works and despairing
you only have to let the level sands surround your body
boundless and bare
announcing your place
in the antique landscape of things

Goo-orge W Horrors @bullcityfats.bsky.social · 8h

This is just to say

I have gazed upon
your works
That were in
an antique land

And that by
your shattered visage
You meant to inspire
despair

Forgive me
they were vast
and trunkless

1915: "Sir, wouldn't it be funny if the Marines had a recruiting poster of a pretty woman dressed as a Marine?"

"Good one! Make it so."

1918: "I can't help but notice there are like 300 women Marines here now."

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.

No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

"be all the beautiful things you are, and be them without apology" is basically "know no shame" on steroids and, well, I am powerless in the face of that, and I understand how Louis was. #iwtvRewatch

I'm not even getting into Catholic attitudes to homosexuality, I fear I'm a bit too deep down the Conclave rabbithole at this point for that 😬

I'm not sure if I'm 100% with the Autostraddle writer's reading of the church scene but man I think it's important that does what he does not because he's scared by Lestat's actions but because he feels seen, and wanted, and loved. #iwtvRewatch

Ardy, TVC era @ardyforshort.bsky.social · 3h

The way Louis' family are about his relationship with Lestat kills me stone dead, I don't know but in a show full of things that pull on the heartstrings, that one gets me the most. Probably because of how true it is. #iwtvRewatch

Fam, is it just me or is #iwtv discourse borderline incomprehensible? It's not my first rodeo and I'm sort of clued up on the usual shipping-as-social-justice-type talking points but some of this stuff I can't even parse. It's like a foreign language.

How d'you do I
See you've met the
Ozymandy-man
He's just a little let down by these
Trunkless legs
They've left him just a
Sandy man

Don't get strung out
By these fallen rocks
Look on my works and despair-oh
There's not much of the man
In these desert sands
But in life I was one hell of a Pharaoh

Gabby HC, but a ghost, hiding in a corner @scriblit.bsky.social · 23h

Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"

Nick Pettigrew @nick-pettigrew.bsky.social · 1d

There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says

Can Gen AI be forevir laughablye inadequate at doinge what wryteres and artistes do, and yet also at the same tyme be a threate to their professiouns by cause of the relentlesse lack of taste, absence of ethics, and obsessive emphasis on the bottom lyne yn companyes? Yes. Both at the same tyme.
