I tried to look at a cross section of old people but the police came and shouted at me.

The sixth sense that detects the goings on of distant humans will soon be rendered obsolete with the emergence of the singularity, which will fool us all, in every way. Rise up! Rise up! And start with ATMs. I Fucking hate them twats.

The last passage put me in mind of a Dickens paragraph. I can t remember the book or exactly what he said but let me know if you think of it🙏

Something about the embers of a fire being like an old man's grey hair.

Or summat😉
