every ai data center should be pulled down, brick by brick, replaced by indigenous plants and stone formations.

i have managed to crawl from beneath the blankets, gently sliding to the floor.
the whole of the world pale, sickly, and even the birdsongs grate.
i shall drink an immense amount of lukewarm water and lament that my sinuses feel like steve bannon looks.

i am too sick to read so i will turn off the lights, crawl under the blankets, and simply try to imagine weird shit until my teeth stop chattering and my sleeping pill kicks in.

as i sit here, feverishly wallowing in mucus, my sinuses a gateway to something very like hell, let me tell you a truth: cockroaches are incredibly pretty.

i sometimes think about how MASSIVE they were in germany around the turn of the century, after being largely forgotten, here.

they don’t want you to know how they treat prisoners because it will grieve you to know it, which is natural and human, and because of your normal human reaction you will want the system changed. It’s important to them that your natural aversion to how the system works not be engaged.
