Bad government, like good government, is a spiritual thing. Even the tyrant never rules by force alone; but mostly by fairy tales. And so it is with the modern tyrant, the great employer. The sight of a millionaire is seldom, in the ordinary sense, an enchanting sight: nevertheless, he is in his way an enchanter.

As they say in the gushing articles about him in the magazines, he is a fascinating personality. So is a snake. At least he is fascinating to rabbits; and so is the millionaire to the rabbit-witted sort of people that ladies and gentlemen have allowed themselves to become.

He[#Billionaire] does, in a manner, cast a spell, such as that which imprisoned princes and princesses under the shapes of falcons or stags. He has truly turned men into sheep, as Circe turned them into swine.

Fraa Orolo was #fascinated that Quin and I were talking about him as if he weren’t there.

RAZ: He means there’s no real distinction between Kinagrams & Logotype.
QUIN: But they're incompatible... but I see what you mean.
OROLO: Why do you suppose it became obsolete?
QUIN: So Kinagrams could gain market share
O: That sounds like bulshytt, too.
#Anathem
Q: To make $$, by making it harder to use Logotype & easier 2 use Kinagrams.
O: How annoying. Why did the people not rise up in rebellion?

>In der Pandemie wird Ivermectin nachgesagt, das Wundermittel gegen Covid zu sein. Auch wenn Studien diese Annahme längst widerlegt haben, hält sich das Gerücht weiterhin hartnäckig. Mehr noch: Viele US-Amerikaner glauben sogar, dass das Wurm-Medikament für Pferde sogar alle möglichen Krankheiten heilen kann - mit fatalen Folgen.

My mom had a beautiful #turquoise ring that had a little dark patch near the center of it. #Blue was my favorite color, but that little #black splat that stood out from it #fascinated me. You couldn’t get rid of it. It was part of it. And I’d #imagine it was a perfect blue, but then I realized what already made it #perfect was its #imperfection.

Sariel’s human form was rather plain at first glance; they were of average height, with an unremarkable haircut, two dark brown eyes, and a penchant for unfashionable clothes. Paula was #fascinated with their third eye, a bright, pupil-less gold that popped open at odd times.
“What can you see with that eye?” she asked.
Three eyes looked at her, and the angel smiled. “Everything,” they answered. “Past, present, future. God’s will be done—but it does get a bit fuzzy at times.”

Hi. My name's Alina. I like #words. I'm #fascinated by social constructions of purity and #innocence, and how those constructions relate to ideals of justice. I don't understand this planet at all but I will continue picking up #dirt and allowing it to #fall through my hands #again&again because everything begins in the unspeakable. Even #hagiography.

What a strange world, humans beome more and more like robots(look at mark zuckerberg aka the zuuck) and robots appear to become more and more like humans. At leas in theory :D

I'm trully #fascinated by this.

Really enjoying staring at this block of Clara text from this article: https://creators.vice.com/en_us/article/speculatype-australian-type-alphabet-from-the-year-3000

It reminds me of the character in If on a Winter's Night that is trying to unlearn his literacy in order to engage with the world more viscerally. I cannot turn off the part of my brain that wants to decipher so that I can just experience.
