A line from Bruce Sterling A London based electronic music producer uses Ukrainian water pipes & huge funnel clouds to create movie special effects. She calls this a non-populist activity, for she sees the resultant out- puts as works of scientific art. There are images of wreckage & personal belongings, the inner workings of cells. Debris in the air, but an FX hurricane manages to keep the place looking spotless. A line from Léopold Sédar Senghor A user-centric evaluation framework means older people have more problems learning new systems, even when there is improved access to a variety of language structures. We noted an anomaly: re- dundancy on both the systems & user side means that nominal data is never uniform in the interval between successive work- outs. When you're indoct- rinated, not even a lullaby will smooth the readings. A line from Stormy Daniels I usually stay away from writing self-centered self- help articles, let the feed dogs pull the triangles into position. That center triangle is very critical. But, different houses, a different set of rules for the game of Go. A year of headlines about Russian interference; & I feel like I'm running through a minefield looking for red lines to remove. A line from Cyndi Lauper In the Darwinian world of the digital switchover, broad- casters were evacuated due to a major embolism, possibly the biggest thing to happen since the introduction of color. Don't blame the government— the High Court judgement was flawed. Amnesty International has been sounding the alarm for more than a year that the TV channels had strong incentives to grow their audiences through human trafficking. Now they sit there, heels on fire, cutting every cost without fear of any penalty.

paradigm a dozen
The grunge music scene is
teaching old neurons new
tricks. I now have blueberries
on my cereal while two dozen
girls learn about innovation
first hand, getting to witness
a cyborgian dancer. It’s a
scene of midmorning disarray
& excitement that has the citi-
zens of Gettysburg panicked—
Lincoln is coming on the right
day. I’m scared stiff, but why
should I be alone. I bring in my
investors & show a 40-minute
video of an avalanche bearing
down on a ski vacation in the
Alps. It exacerbates
their fears.
Fill / loosley & / do not compact
With experience, this
copper-alloy piece can be used to create a product that includes all the
processes involved in harvesting, production, transportation, &
construction. It eliminates all extremes of elaboration, but forces you to
leave behind your familiar house, street, & neighbors; & prompts a
defection from fixed meaning through the use of non-sequiturs — start off with
Magritte & move on to the navigational abilities of the prostate, from Derrida
on to the venture capital industry.
single-serve liturgies
A railway line runs im-
mediately behind the
parietal lobe. The placebo
effect could make pictures
of classical architecture
affective as stimulus mate-
rial. Split-brain syndrome
using different lags provides
empirical motivation for
some true effects to exist
at particular intervals. Our
RV got rear ended by a hit
& run driver. Unlicensed
work is non-free by
default.
trajectory as far as
What we
retain of the
movement is its structured
form. Any steady increase
in template performance
can be processed by the
use of microcontrollers
or some contextualized
analysis of migration &
language diversity. Else-
where, work permits are
only offered to those with
a separate income flow or
the ability to access behind-
the-counter medicines. The
intransigence of light she
found difficult to cope with.
Poetry from Mark Young
Five geographies:
Dushanbe (2)
The markets, held on
the
second day after Saturday,
gave the city its name. Was
once called Stalinabad, &
the trolleybuses, with their
livery of the national colors
still carry Stalinist slogans.
Passengers wait for their
buses outside the markets;
& even though Stalin is no
longer alive & today is Thurs-
day, there is no confusion.
Coney Island
A fundamental characteristic
of the scientific & operational
principles underlying leger-
demain is that not all Ferris
wheels
are created equal.
Tromsø
The subset A of
a top-
ological space X is
the set-off point for so
many claims & cross
claims. Plus, each party
can be both a party
attacking & a party de-
fending so the activity
has the potential to
increase quite drama-
tically. & given that the
parties in question are
a narwhal & the aurora
borealis, both of whom
have lived here for many
centuries, there are a lot
of other parties making
claims & counter claims.
Stellenbosch
The Red Ants are demolishing
trauma counseling, replacing
it with nativity sculptures in
recycled paper & precious Italian
marble. Nobody else gets a look
in, except for a boy playing with
his ball, & an oxygen mask that
is also used as a sharpening tool.
Padua
No services are departing
this stop within the next
90 minutes. Which gives
some historical context
but minimal idea of the
threat of human impact—
even though amphibians are
already experiencing a mass
extinction. Not all literary
traditions begin with epic nar-
ratives of kings & conquests.
Poetry from Mark Young
A line from Shirley Jackson
I was a cafeteria
worker who had
relocated in response to the direct
socio-economic impact of drought.
Was approached, agreed to take
part in a new study on human
mobility. Report released, found
digital traces generated by cellphone
calls follow power law distribution
with β values & can therefore cause
hair loss as well as diminishing cog-
nitive abilities. I couldn’t see how
that affected me so I moved again.
A line from Gloria Vanderbilt
Which spam kill is
your favorite?
Doesn’t matter what you answer
because they’re all about to die
thanks to upcoming rule changes.
This is a natural progression of the
male domain — don’t like the out-
comes so legislate to stop them
happening — which is why it really
doesn’t grab me. I offer up chance
with its surfeit of supporting clichés
for my ignoring the man-made strict-
ures forced upon organic structures.
A line from Nancy Pelosi
I keep getting the following
error message — “Sand is a useful
resource for the development
of any society, but reacts viol-
ently with both comprehensive
& incomprehensible sexual
motives.” Based on the Henky-
von Mises theory of energy,
ozonation of return-activated
sludge typically occurs in a
linguistic search engine that
has been designed to help you
write better. Because of that,
each of our used cars is avail-
able for shipment to the con-
tinental U.S. There they are
checked for vertigo, & their peri-
pheral nerve endings subjected
to an inventory before being re-
leased into the wider population.
A line from Frida Kahlo
The last few months have been
tumultuous. Mao’s forces were
poised along the river; San Fran-
cisco has its third mayor in two
months. Now workers in the UK
have been nominated for four
People’s Choice Awards along with
a K-pop boys band whose name
escapes me for the moment. Instead
of the shotgun, spray-&-pray app-
roach they’ve previously used, Levi
Strauss & other multinationals have
taken careful aim on the American
market, have the urban middle class
firmly in their sights with their message
of pain. We aim to arrive around six.

a sparse matrix
In league with French counter-revolutionaries
resident in Cayenne, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe attempted to smuggle seeds of
pepper, nutmeg, & cloves into Yuan Dynasty China. Caught at the border by
customs officials, he was told that if he had just tried to bring in smaller
quantities of the spices, he may have escaped detection completely. I see, said Mies. Less is more.
Without a Trace
He leaned in front of her
screen. Then he made himself
more comfortable. The dead man
was hanging close to the trunk.
She was thirsty, but that was
not unusual; & if she needed
company then a row of half-dead
plants still lined
the pathway.
monkey canapes
In order to stop kids
obsessing over the future,
Government funding is
now available to separate
them into groups &
place them on a range of
intimate couches in front
of refrigerators which all
have smart screens
& apps.
modal apprehension
He watches for a while, then he
joins her swim. A large number
of finite automata can be simply
visualized by representing the auto-
mata array as a silver bell caught
inside a perfectly rectangular block.
It’s called a strap-end, using an
archaeological principle that if you
do not know what a metal object’s
purpose was, then just call it that.
As counterpoint, Carl Sagan talks
about the impact of the computer
on the universe. Both movie &
book are told from this perspective.
