Don't even get me STARTED on the psychosis. I've been in manic psychosis. I know what it's like to hallucinate and be so sure of yourself when you're absolutely wrong.

ChatGPT and AI chatbots like it tell you everything you want to hear. They ENABLE your own mental self-destruction.

There are many things about AI that increasingly piss me off, but I think one of the biggest ones is the fact that almost no one asked for this and it's being forced upon us.

No, I don't want Gemini. I don't want Grok. I don't want ChatGPT. I don't want a built-in AI assistant or AI editor.

Stopped for a second
to remember
some thing I knew
I'd soon forget.

The sky fell,
as expected.
Damn near
missed the sunset.

Book on a table in a house, all about the rules for mirrors. Reach to pick it up and a hand runs into a reflection of itself. It's supposed to ward off reaching a second time but my soul is under there

Sifting thru summers ashes to remember how to stop thinking in capital letters.

Just as the sea must look forward to the last sip of sand at the bottom of the bag, so too does the raven, having called dibs on your scavenging luck, look forward to you and your several almost empty bags of chips setting off into the woods, never to be salty crumbs from again

Timely manner is only etiquette when it's plural, otherwise it is just a suggestion to make fate and being in a limited moment of not knowing it seem impolite. Anyway, I'm late because of what one oracle said to the other oracle "Did you hear the two about plurals? They had affairz with a z"

A man who murders a million people while wearing a suit in a finely furnished room, speaking in civil language to other people in suits, is as much a murderer as if he has personally shot each in the face.

Being able to perceive that what he is doing is murder, is important.

The fifth issue of Y2K Quarterly is packed with so much turn of the century nostalgia you'll be back in JNCOs flipping through CDs!
Proud to see "Here in the City of Shows" alongside seven excellent works! Shout out to the other featured writers and much thanks to @y2kq.com

Being a person is like trying to find close parking at an impossible place, just give up immediately and go way the fuck out there "I'm here but it's a long weird walk to the mall I was conceived in"
