Exploration, science, clean oceans, fresh air and water, #intriguing books and a full-on #sonorous of common purpose; they’re rapidly becoming just a #memory of days gone by.

This is pure repression, diversion, incompetence and authoritarian BS.

Our #potential once seemed limitless and was #arranged in a curious quest for enlightenment. We #ran for it, finding progress along the way. Now we’re in a tailspin; we need to climb while we still can.

The path from calamity was marked by tiny flowers caressing her feet. She could see light through the #doorway, her pace quickened.

Agree. Too much AI hype by greedy corporations to take our privacy.

Advanced #bionics has a place in human development and so does AI. But sometimes we need a safeguard #parachute since our science often outpaces our ability to apply technologies evenly.

At the risk of making a #rash decision I figured I may as well make some #noise and post my Coverfly stats.

I was around 8 and lived in the country when I found the end of a #rainbow. I ran for it, the leaves were colored with a soft glow and I dove in, certain I’d found the gold.

Nothing there… I was bummed for about a week.

True story.

Yeah, I avoid google as much as possible and share nothing.

David E Shannon @davideshannon1.bsky.social · Aug 6

If only.

A functioning society needs #rules to, you know, function.

But there’s another group living outside the rules. We know them as the rich, the ones that thrive on #adulation. They see rules as kinda squishy, more like a suggestion. So here we are…

He #scowls, the grimace exposes an empty soul within. His #efficacy, perceived revenge and the suffering of others. Everything he touches dies.

When I think of #mischief I picture an xtra large diaper worn by the golf cart rider sprinkled with ground, super hot Carolina Reaper peppers. An #anniversary on #point, not soon forgotten.

If only we could #hum away all these ridiculous bots that never tire of peddling absurdity.

“Hi friend, how are you doing today. Do you desire a chat?”

No I don’t!
