Live with us in forests of azure

I'm ageing out of IP. I'm more interested reading about the frame rate technology of Avatar than seeing the sequel. Marvel is homework. I can only concentrate on so much TV. I hate being told what to read. My favourite writers are dead or impossible to find. Ditto music. (Exclusive to Soundcloud? I'm in.) My mental bookcase is stacked with things I either know everything about or nothing about, and nothing in between.

Killing Twitter was an end of year gift. I don't miss getting up to feed a billionaire's algorithm. Social media was never about people. The show now is watching Elon's tamagotchi turn into a ghost and a headstone. It's Survivor in real time and just as formulaic. As a kid I was hooked Sunday night wrestling – the villain cheating and always coming back. That seems to be the only storyline writers can come up with for our current reality.
