Twitter Updates for 19-11-2013

[sci_starborne]

• For the first time in a long while my hair is so short I don’t need to brush it after a shower
• Uncapping another beer with my zombie-survival spatula, eating chocolate in bed and reading old copies of Transmet, distracting myself.
• From now on I’ll do something nice for myself when I feel like shit, rather than indulge the well-reinforced sense that I deserve it.
• The worst thing about not living in your own place is having to get *dressed* at 2am just so you can go take a piss.
• There’s rage in me. Exhausted and muffled in the day, but making my fists flex and cut nails into my palms at night when all else fades.
• That frustration that only let’s you sleep when your body succumbs and admits there’s boiled tears garrisoned at the corner of each eye.
• They wait there, cold and damp, unmoving reminders of what’ll come tomorrow but you dare not think of in the day.
• In the day you have energy. In the day you could act. In the day you could change something & throw yourself into a horribly alien world.
• Habit is the safe zone we make for ourselves, wether it’s safe or not. Familiarity comforts us.
• I fear the future of immortality. Ever more powerful elders, holding the world static and comforting to them, their rosy glasses in control.
• A world only needs the passing of one generation for a situation to be seen as normal. But normal is not always good or desired.
• Immortality. A tiny world of geriatric oligarchy. A planet ruled by ancient racist aunts and uncles you’d avoid at christmas dinner.
• No hiding in the corner sucking on an xmas beer bottle to avoid them, but in your face. Centuries of wealth and power forcing you to listen. 03:31:34, 2013-11-19
• People powerful enough and driven enough to live forever are almost certainly both enough to ensure they stay that way. 03:32:51, 2013-11-19
• The old literally fighting the new, clawing to keep their bit of the world comfortably familiar. 03:34:33, 2013-11-19
• And now I realise. This wasn’t meant as satire but genuine concern about society and progress in a posthuman future. 03:36:24, 2013-11-19
• Then the fucking cheeky part of my brain says “sounds like modern corporations doesn’t it, hohoho”. You utter bastard. 03:38:20, 2013-11-19
• A distopian nightmare with its knees shot out from under it by self-induced comparisons to shitty pop-protest diatribe. 03:40:34, 2013-11-19
• Sure, they’re conceptually the same. Like a snowball hitting you in the face and a town being erased by an avalanche. 03:43:52, 2013-11-19
• Both have you end up with ice where your eyes should be, but one’s a lot more personal than the other. 03:45:13, 2013-11-19
• Corps are dumb lumbering beasts that chug slowly along bending laws to their benefit. Immortals will have that power, but a personal touch. 03:47:14, 2013-11-19
• No lobbying sweeping tax cuts or favourable trades; this person hates this particular band so it’s blacklisted & illegal to play in public. 03:50:19, 2013-11-19
• This other eternal monarch had a beef with your great great grandmother, so your house gets condemmed. Your living family curse. 03:52:17, 2013-11-19
• Because if the Greeks taught us anything it’s that gods love to fuck with mortal lives. Lightning bolts for all dissenters. 03:54:01, 2013-11-19
• Corporations only get that personal under personal control. & that diversion of resources eventually puts them at odds with the corp itself. 03:57:06, 2013-11-19
• To turn a corp against a single person is slow suicide for the person steering it there. The dumb beast has bigger more sweeping worries. 03:58:52, 2013-11-19
• Fear the future immortals. Those with more power than god, more bile than Warren Ellis, and the 1000yr old opinion on what is legal to read. 04:01:54, 2013-11-19
• I’m bored of myself now. Sleep. The sleep of those doomed to wake. Another morning already growling angrily below the horizon. 04:04:14, 2013-11-19
• Another day of trudging into the workshop. Of feeling guilt for the power used to heat it. Of guilt for not finishing the wood-burner yet. 04:05:56, 2013-11-19
• Fear. Fear of finishing anything. What if it fails & my hatred is justified? What if it succeeds & my familiar comfortable hate is jarred? 04:08:30, 2013-11-19
• Fear of both succeeding and failing in equal amounts, they would cancel out if it were physics. But in emotions; only paralysis. 04:10:40, 2013-11-19
• Run away little boy, go hide in distraction and fantasy. You know eventually your unguided body will choose for you. Avoid free will. 04:12:44, 2013-11-19
• Avoid at all costs making an explicit choice. What if you’re wrong? What if you’re right? 04:14:09, 2013-11-19
• If you’re critical tho every choice is wrong. You just have to look hard enough. Let it sit on your chest & smother you as you try to sleep. 04:17:40, 2013-11-19
• Just lay there clutching your fists involuntarily as your heart stabs at your rib-cage. Aching spasm’d muscles from the knot of hate inside. 04:20:54, 2013-11-19
• Know thyself. Familiarity breeds contempt. 04:21:40, 2013-11-19
• Remember; one day you be old & dying. Family will come to you. Everyone will see your ancient cock hanging out under the hospital robes. 04:28:18, 2013-11-19
• No one will say anything, but they’ll all know. They’ve all seen it. They’ll ignore it. This concludes tonight’s Death Cock tweets. 04:38:34, 2013-11-19
• I just want my mind to stop running. Claw back enough hours to see daylight when I wake. But no. Overwhelmed with nervous energy. 05:02:47, 2013-11-19
• Every night is like this. The beer has just made me care less enough to record it. 05:04:04, 2013-11-19
• Lucid, exhausted, vulnerable, furious. The trains will be running again soon. The sky lightens. Traffic sounds increase. 05:06:15, 2013-11-19
• RT @cpeedell: The Tories have not only been deleting speeches & footage from their own websites, they have erased information from the Inte… 12:31:03, 2013-11-19
• nipplefreckle: that fucking doge trend has ruined my ability to speak and now i’m worried because god forbid… http://t.co/Rz4hpan2Zf 12:43:06, 2013-11-19
• I am mostly awake now because my clock-radio was set to an indian language music station & I spent an hour wondering if I’d had a stroke. 12:45:06, 2013-11-19
• #TweetToYourself10YearsAgo 11, 12, 13, 18, 43, 48, bonus ball 21. Hurry, draw’s at 7pm. http://t.co/xnzd6dar36 17:06:53, 2013-11-19
• @HardSciFiMovies Also acceptable ending; it is used exclusively by the French government. in reply to HardSciFiMovies 17:08:09, 2013-11-19
• Wombled what appears to be a moustrap the size of a child and a full tank of BBQ gas with regulator. So, free-range dinner tonight? 17:14:51, 2013-11-19
• @tinycorvid That site is going to get so DDOS’d if someone invents timetravel. in reply to tinycorvid 17:20:30, 2013-11-19
• Fixed up my Twitter Digest plugin. Joyous 17:27:42, 2013-11-19
• Testing compatibility between my clay and the platinum silicone. Fingers crossed. It’d make the next moulding stage a lot easier. 17:32:44, 2013-11-19
• Well fuck me. Turns out this old camera viewfinder uses the old Kopin 320 mono display. With a single driver chip. 17:49:30, 2013-11-19
• Last I checked the Kopin displays needed a proprietary chip, but here we are. I know exactly what I need now. Who wants a HUD? 17:50:07, 2013-11-19
• Looking like the IC is end-of-life, so obtaining it may be very difficult. A motorola MCVVQ111. 17:56:45, 2013-11-19
• Ebay you lovable bastard. <3 17:59:04, 2013-11-19
• Including postage, about £9 from China. But it’s a starting point. 18:00:27, 2013-11-19
