  • "Yes, I noticed someone had gone in and given me a lot of 1 ratings. Oh well, I'll take that as a compliment. Nothing to say, so a cowardly black ball dropped into the jar anonymously. : )"

  • "Man, you seem to have had some prophetic visions of what was coming. There was a line in something about artists at the beginning of the Third Reich and it said, "we were just maladjusted enough to know what would come next." Well, me too... and apparently you too. : ) HFS... Ciao, Steve "

  • "Still love this piece, and the lines "The rest of us, without a dream – Exalt the curd; discard the cream..." seems to align especially well with much of the news over the past few weeks. "

  • "I liked this one very much, the notion of impending oblivion while the universe shrugs in indifference... gaze into this mirror, you will live or die quite independent of the number of likes and retweets. With the next upgrade to html, no one will even be able to find evidence of them again. Ciao, T/S"

  • "Reminds me of a segment from Bill Burr’s most recent Netflix special... It may happen...how could reality ever compete with the subservient creation designed to perfectly appeal to our lizard brain? The machines may indeed $&@% us out of existence. :) Ciao, T/S "

  • "Yes, sit back and trust the experts, their algorithms are all so accurate and all knowing...sixty percent of the time they are right every time... Every time I see that smug POS from Google, I want to slap him. :) Those are the current types of fingers moving the puppets (muppets) in the admin state. I also thought the idea of the tracking app, so cheerfully and innocently introduced, was noteworthy in a quietly horrifying kind of way. Ah, well... We have come to bury liberty, dwells, not praise it. Ciao, T/S"

  • "This is an excellent piece with lots of quotable lines, although my favorite is “The Deluge came as just another shower”...lots of wisdom in that. It never seems like a big deal until it is. Drop...drop...drop...flood. Also I am a sucker for any allusion to Babylon… I took a course recently where they related an event in Which a later Syrian king diverted one of the rivers to flood Babylon in order to completely destroy it because he could not control its inhabitants to his satisfaction. Later, this kings own son assassinated him and used money from the treasury to rebuild the famed city. The cruelty and waste and squandered potential contained at every level of that story were exceedingly sad and I think relevant to your theme. Great work! Ciao, T/S "

  • "Outstanding piece! Truely, “we welcomed our new Hell”... Little by little these guys are absorbing our information, our privacy, and our freedom...no right to be anonymous and hold some fact...some preference...something we keep just for ourselves and our loved ones... "

  • "Very well done, man! That is an interesting and terrifying period of history...thank goodness our revolution had different end results. After leaving the US he helped fight to found, Lafayette was caught up in some of the intrigue and spent years in an Austrian prison after trying to flee the bloodletting. Your piece brought to my mind the scenes and smells and shouted jeers that drowned out pleas for justice. Great, great work! Ciao, T/S"

  • ""Emoting in a constant, sweaty sheen Those Nephilim* fulfilled the prophecy" - very verbally adept way of describing a coupling without being explicit or romanticizing it... : ) Myself, I have always leaned toward the notion that this may be an echo of a time when some people in the region "united" with Neanderthals... Maybe...or it could an allusion some unifying with the previous human cultural inhabitants of the region, which would fit with a possible purpose of this segment when told to migrating Hebrews about they should keep themselves part from the local inhabitants of where they were going. Anyway, interesting piece and great flow! Your posts convince me you would be an interesting person to meet up for a beer with. : ) Ciao, T/S"

  • "I enjoyed this joy-ride! Before I saw the comments, I was picturing a gnome king with a secret army watching from your garden. As a proud embracer of the cheesy elements of suburbia, I have several of these folk in my yard, one even positioned to look through the ferns... : ) Ciao, T/S"

  • "I enjoyed this very much! They will say "I told you so!" Yup, they sure will...this is a depressing cycle we are in. I was listening to a lecture about the 1892 election cycle and there were some interesting parallels to now...that cheered me a bit in that we have been here before, survived, and grown stronger. We shall see! Ciao, T/S"
