The magnifying glass is worth ten years now, maybe two with good behavior, overcrowding etc.
Felt sorry for the Prof, they hounded the guy. I mean, who doesn\'t plager.
Snowing in London, that\'s extreme.

Syd, what a gloriously fucked-up ride this is! 😂 Dark, grotesque, funny, and somehow it winds its way toward redemption without losing any of its lunacy. And I LOVE THE FUCKING SONG! One hell of a write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

They all want their message out there.
Guy does a shit in Outer Mongolia, someone\'s got an opinion on it.
Just wait till AI really gets going. If you think it\'s bad now, you aint seen nothing yet.

My friend, satire is at its strongest when it commits to its voice, and this certainly does. I found myself chuckling more than once, even while feeling the exasperation underneath it all. Great job on this. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Semi automatic click on the title (too early in the morning), picture pops up – what?? Who?? It’s Syd, so I can enjoy (if that’s the right word) your take down.
Trouble is, it should be easy to pull the plug on them (there are enough delusional nutters in the world anyway), the problem, as you so rightly point out, happens to be the number of clowns (men) who take notice…

The images of decay and predation really caught me, Syd. They perfectly capture how this poisonous ideology consumes insecurity and converts it into hatred. Savage write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Plenty of Tates and Andrews in this world I\'m afraid, many of whom hide their bigotry etc in all manner of ways and justifications....the sub humans who follow them, just for starters.
Worthwhile write Syd, at the time of their arrest and disgrace even if it does leave me somewhat nauseous.

I was literally thinking of these two when I was reading, yes seems they may have come to take what is coming to them, caught In Miami I believe. We certainly need less of these evil souls in the world. A great write I felt every line. 🌹

My deepest condolences to you dear Syd, I\'ve lost two loved ones myself this year, due to cancer. As for Kev Some souls just weren\'t meant to be in this world. A beautiful poem. 🌹

What a heartbreaking tribute, Syd. You remember Kev through something imperfect, funny, and unmistakably his...then let that warmth stand beside the horror of losing him. The result feels honest because grief and laughter remain together. I’m truly sorry for your loss, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Syd, this really struck me. I love how the entire piece embraces tension instead of trying to resolve it. It reminds us that beauty, pain, joy, and loss all give shape to one another. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Proud Of Our Poverty
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Syd, this stirred up so much for me…the shared bath times, the streetlights as a clock, that particular brand of scrappy childhood that felt hard in the moment but somehow shaped you for the better. You captured that so well. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Doggerel Dave said:
Your images, claimed to be AI generated, felt real for me and enough commonality with the deep south (London’s East End) for me to relate, Syd.
The lines
“We\'re proud to have memories
Proud of our people\'s sovereignty
Proud of our upbringing
Proud of our poverty!”
are as succinct an example of false consciousness as anyone could provide and what keeps those folks where they are.
Great stuff.

It is strange that through hardship, poverty, certainly few luxuries, there were few suicides.
Roll on today, mental health is through the roof, suicide is daily.
It seems the more you have, the less you actually have.
