    Yoooo . Hope everything is ok regarding the spooky news. Hmm Idk what to be reading but if you come across anything good let me know. It would be nice to have something to read. Or to watch. Not an article but someone posted that short story The Machine Stops (?) a while back and it was excellent.

      Hi @toothpicks, if you’re interested, “The Machine Stops” was made into an episode of Out of the Unknown way back in 1966. The quality of the video is not great, but anyway, here’s a link to it on the Internet Archive (it helps if you imagine you’re watching an old episode of Doctor Who).

        Sorta sitting?

        Are we waving our hands in the air like we don’t care? Typing on the phone during an arduous crap? Fidgety? On your honkers? Sitting mostly bit up & about for snacks or to pee or whatever?

      Spooky is… a whole lot of spatialtemporal loops giving the impression of a great many romances occurring all at once.

      One of these things at a time is plenty unsettling enough, thank you very much universe.

      Sometimes one needs the fairies to help one see realise these things though?
