The Drowning Man Dreams of Different Deaths
Toppling from a tightrope
stretched between your bare knees
Last fallen man in a dance contest
Jumping from a plane wearing a
backpack instead of a parachute
dying, as they say, of laughter
Stomach so stuffed with sweets
the witch can barely cram you
into her glowing oven
Of thirst, mouth too dry to form words
So quickly from the impact
you still can’t believe it
In your sleep
stiffening into
something of an embrace
Blackout: Lolita #1

Speaking of #NepoDing, someone kindly translated some interviews with Ding. Seriously cool given how little of this sort of thing is available in English. And Ding does seem like a good human. → https://old.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/12pd15y/the_meaning_of_life_is_in_those_sparkling_moments/

mention me in a thread to easily get a clickable Nitter link to any Twitter thread. Nitter is an alternate UI for twitter that redirects all traffic and shows no ads. I will only mention the requester and any other folks following me in a thread.

I'm not sold that an exception isn't warranted. But I'm also not convinced it is even needed for chatterboxes to do what they do. Copyright cuts both ways and I am loath to see any expansion. But it's definitely an issue worth time and consideration → https://mastodon.social/@tellio/110214812537263041

It's nice to see @slott56 here...not only because we share a last name, but also because I have used some of his Python books in the past (and recommend them to others trying to learn or get better at Python). → https://play.google.com/store/books/author?id=Steven+F.+Lott
