We act as animals or automatons but surely not as "people."
The pure attraction of an earlier Internet was its promise of disembodiment and immateriality.
The user used.
Your hand on the leash.
Depart reality.
Separation.
Now we find in the web's manipulation a crisis. Duplicate. Replicant. A mirrorball comparison. Conflation. A mockery. A haunted shopping mall. A stalker. A gang-mob. Bosses.
There will come a scandalous day when some as-yet unknown digital forensic marker for "AI"-generateed content will expose some supposed-schizophrenic shamanic aspirant as A Fraud, but I tell you Now Today:
"Took her down in the priest costume she got religiously e-dicked."
Then he kind of mumbles. Says something about a precinct. Then lots of sirens and gun-shot sounds, and an uncleared Above the Law sample, (which is itself a sample), that leads to a prolonged and nasty legal mess.
His manager was embezzling fucking everything anyway.
Caught on chat logs and prosecuted by automated AI for using Forbidden Words. Full retroactive application until we find The Purest One, Who Has Said None of It.
Well, you know, I've always hated the term "damnatio memoriae," cuz how the FUCK do you pronounce that out loud without sounding like a total asshole to everyone, or seeming like some type of H*rr* P*tt*r Twerp or whatever, right, but it's such a useful term, or the thing that it points to is, so I reckon what we need is a damned neologism . . .

(exact year indeterminate) → SUBJECT types furiously into CHATBOT, awaits response . . . OUTPUT To create Greek-derived words that could represent the concept of all-encompassing or total hearing, analogous to "panopticon," I will blend various Greek roots that are relevant to hearing and the idea of totality or completeness. Here are five etymologically valid words, crafted for their poetic resonance:
Holakoustos: From "holos" (whole, entire) and "akoustos" (heard). Implies a state where everything is heard or within auditory reach.
Panakoe: Merging "pan-" with "akoē" (hearing, the sense of hearing). Suggests an omnipresent auditory perception.
Kykloakousia: From "kyklos" (circle, cycle) and "akousia." Could imply a circular, encompassing system of hearing.
Aionakoustēs: Combining "aion" (age, eternity) with "akoustēs" (listener, hearer). Suggests an eternal or timeless listener.
Totiauditio: Combining "toti-" (whole, entire) from "totus," and "auditio" (hearing, the act of listening). Implies a state where everything is heard.
Omniauris: Merging "omni-" and "auris" (ear). Suggests an omnipresent or all-encompassing ear — hearing everything.
Circumsonus: From "circum-" (around, about) and "sonus." Could imply a surrounding, all-encompassing system of hearing, capturing sounds from every direction.
Aeternauditor: Combining "aeterna" (eternal) and "auditor" (listener, hearer). Suggests an eternal listener, someone who hears all things across time.
Last swig from the rum bottle and it's pass-out time.
But first, on a lined yellow pad, scrawled croatan:
Creating a multi-media property called 'The Doomed Aunt Network' about a group of so-called "contemporary cat ladies," veering into spinsterdom, in their tidy city apartments and considered outfits.
No one is entirely sure what level of ironic detachment this is operating on.
It assuredly comes from no place of superiority.
Hell — we'd all like to meet these ladies.
That's why we're here.

Mark Stain was the worst promoter in all of Delaware.
So it was no surprise the show came to disaster.
Took the gate as a favor for Mr. Entertainment. Claude couldn't make it. Had to drop it cuz of some chick had a pregnancy scare out in Arizona, somewhere. Tucson. Something.
So here I was, subbing.
Scrubbing for Stain.
The ring ropes were too loose.
So when I went to do my shit.
To my disdain.
I fell on through.
Cement glue.
Man.
What if certain forms of neurodivergent outward expression e.g. (particularly self-dx) "autism" aligned with a childhood involving heavy emotional coregulation with non-human animals to the exclusion of human companions? — A Lonely, Only Child
Is it permissible to permit that Shel Silverstein might be a fit as a predecessor or does that paint a poet pretending at predator?
