I dunno why I went with those names. 🤔
My gay fathers were Charles Dickens and Jonathan Swift on one night of sublimely angry sex, so I can't help it. Chuck carried me, of course. Poor guy thought he had gout for years...

(I realized when I posted this that the #Swift hashtag was likely to be populated by programming posts, but I did it anyway. More coders should read #JonathanSwift. Know your history!)

In "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift, Lemuel Gulliver encountered many inventors with foolish inventions on the island of Balnibarbi, including a device for randomly creating sentences so that even people with no talent can write books. Thus predicting generative AI several centuries early.

The grotesque is truth with its mask torn off. Swift revealed it in satire. I reveal it in words. Read my reflection on A Modest Proposal and the cost of survival, centuries later. #Satire #JonathanSwift #Survival #PoeticBipolarMind #LiteraryReflection #GrotesqueTruth

And now for some fun with classical music. Telemann wrote this suite in 1728, two years after the Jonathan Swift classic was published, and it humorously refers to some of his creations with the music.
"Intrada Suite for Two Violins (The Gulliver Suite)," composed by Georg Philipp Telemann, performed here by uncredited artists.

"The governor and his family are served by domestics of a kind somewhat unusual. By his skill in necromancy, he could call whom he pleases from the dead.... [The servants' countenances] made my flesh creep with a horror I cannot express."

When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this infallible sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.

The Achilles heel of creepy weirdos is they hate, hate, hate being laughed at.
Comedy is their kryptonite.
Satire is salt in their psychic wounds.
After all, #JonathanSwift made a modest proposal, in the spirit of #Juvenal.
A modest proposal about popes...
So, another pope has died and his ashes will soon be emitted from the chimney on the Sistine Chapel. It is time to select a new pope.
But the pope has presided over a seemingly endless series of scandals for generations. They keep electing new popes, but the problems never go away. Why can't they solve these problems?
Looking for commonalities among all the popes of the last century or so, one stood out to me: they're all Catholic!
Maybe they should try choosing a nice Unitarian, or perhaps a Wiccan? They'd have at least as good a chance of solving the problems as the last umpteen Catholic popes. Maybe even better.
It's worth a shot.
