In the depths of silence, whispers arise,
Echoes of dreams, painting skies.
A journey within, through time and space,
Infinite realms, where thoughts embrace.
Through valleys of doubt, and mountains of fear,
We tread with courage, drawing near.
To the heart's true calling, a beacon bright,
Guiding us onward, through darkest night.
Each step a story, woven with care,
Moments of joy, and burdens we bear.
Yet in the tapestry of life, we find,
Threads of purpose, intertwine.
So let us wander, with open eyes,
Seeking truths beneath starlit skies.
For in the journey of self-discovery,
Lies the key to our destiny.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

From Babel to Code
Abstract This article argues that the central intellectual provocation in Neal Stephenson’s *Snow Crash* is neither the Metaverse as a virtual geography nor the novel’s satirical political economy, but the idea of language as a virus: a transmissible code capable of poisoning cognition, reshaping bodily behaviour, and reorganising social order. Stephenson links this viral model to the Tower of Babel as a myth of linguistic fracture and control, then projects it into a modern world where computer languages become the operational substrate of intelligent machines. The contemporary paradox is that large language models, built on formal code and computational syntax, increasingly mediate everyday human expression. Rather than machines corrupting a pure natural language, the argument developed here proposes the reverse: natural human language is itself unstable, illogical, and socially dangerous, and humans increasingly require technological filters to write, speak, and reason coherently. In an emergent environment where utterances are recorded, searchable, and algorithmically judged, language becomes less disposable and more accountable. The article concludes by interpreting this ‘global library’ condition as a new stage of linguistic civilisation, in which the risk of viral speech persists, yet the possibility of responsible language use expands through machine-assisted memory, verification, and form.

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
