I love the ones about space. And Greek myths. And literature, specifically books I wish I had the time/brains to read but know I never will but still want to know why they’re special (eg anything by James Joyce/Tolstoy)

I don’t get these ‘Bluesky isn’t friendly’ takes. I know I’m not a prolific poster, but I’ve never felt threatened here, as I did on the other place. The people are here generally fine and welcoming. The world however is a shitstorm

The lyrics of Lou Reed’s song Sick of You (from New York, 1989) floated into my mind. Quite an uncanny set of scenarios.

![[Verse 4]
They ordained the Trumps and then he got the mumps
And died being treated at Mt. Sinai
And my best friend Bill died from a poison pill
Some wired doctor prescribed for stress
My arms and legs are shrunk, the food all has lumps
They discovered some animal no one's ever seen
It was an inside trader eating a rubber tire
After running over Rudy Giuliani
They say the President's dead, no one can find his head
It's been missing now for weeks
But no one noticed it, he had seemed so fit
I'm sick of it
