Too many items in the basket of absurdity.

We know the current popularity of the idea of truth being malleable like putty.

I see stars swinging from long threads and neural networks available by the kilo.

We are changing by improving.

The trees are blue, green and in between.

We speak our language and we are already learning yours!

Twist the long silk sheet, fix the pans in plain sight.

Rum, reason and promised rain.

We were under no strain.
