I love your words. I love words. And does it matter if some of them have been spoken before? Some things bear repeating. Like thank you, I love you, I'm sorry, hello, happy birthday, what time is it, I'm hungry. You know, the classics.
Also, I just listened to an interview with a man named John Butler who spoke wisely about silence, stillness, spaciousness, spirituality, and other things that didn't start with S.
It all seems valuable, like the notes AND the rests in music.
Sad but true our attention span has been reduced from cursive to emojis
From movies to tik tok shorts
Our audiences loathe death by PowerPoint. Show me a quick non offensive video and tie it to your main idea and wrap it up. That is the main challenge of speakers and presenters nationwide. The more information you put in, the more you push your audience away. Storytelling remains key in the absence of videos.
and they looked back with perfect clarity "because we are dogs."

The very fact that all becomes ashes, noise, and heat does not alter the fact that your words and the very act of writing them are truly eternal. An audience is not even required. But here we are for you - a community!
Thank you for your non-slop existence, including writing when it suits you.

You are such a good writer and you seem to explore the exact thing I have been thinking about!!! Words are our unique human tool. Don’t let AI grab them from us.
WWPSD? Phil Stubbs would definitely keep audaciously hovering above the keyboard or clicking his retractable pen because infinity is real, man! Countless combos are out there! I appreciate your work, sir.
Speaking for myself only here (obviously), I too felt the draw of The Telepathy Tapes. At first. But I began to notice a pattern of certain assertions being made, that no evidence was being offered for. I realized I was being sold a worldview.
I later learned about some of the very problematic aspects of the series and those behind it, their connection to Antivax, and the “MAHA” movement. This all ties to RFK Jr’s weird obsession with autistic people.
I’m now at the point where I view it much like the bulk of UFO World: Crapola. Even if there is a truth at its core. But truth is only truthful when it’s not wrapped in BS.
Keep writing. You are worth reading.
Efficiency sacrifices true beauty. That’s why.
Keep writing you’re VERY good at it!
Very interesting look into "what the hell am I going to write about this time?" Got a little deep with yourself there.
Know that your voice has reached someone and this is the echo back. It did not go into the void.
Dear Michael,
I love your words. I love words. And does it matter if some of them have been spoken before? Some things bear repeating. Like thank you, I love you, I'm sorry, hello, happy birthday, what time is it, I'm hungry. You know, the classics.

Thank you for sharing!
Love

Don’t stop!
As a moderately attractive older woman, I truly love you for your mind. Keep it up, Michael. AI has nothing on you.
This truly resonates with me. Thank you for sharing.

Are you thinking about fiction, Michael? And you know I am Team Michael-as-Writer, now and always. B
Well said! I mean, written.
just read the Bluesky post
I yelled at my dogs - "why are you barking"
and they looked back with perfect clarity "because we are dogs."

Imprecation is the sincerest form of philately, as Oscar Wilde almost said

Again, IMHO.
But wasn't it Sisyphus rolling the boulder, and Prometheus bound to the rock having his liver eaten nightly?
