“Early in the morning sunlight
Soaring on the wings of dawn
Here I'll live and die with my wings in the sky
And I, I won't come down no more
Higher than the birds I'm flying
Crimson skies of ice and fire
Borne on wings of steel, I have so much to feel
And I, won't come down no more . . “
Kansas ~ Icarus: Borne on Wings of Steel

I'm honored to see my poem, "Tiller and Shears," appear in Issue #104 of Neologism Poetry Journal: https://www.neologismpoetry.com/January-2026/.
I wrote it last spring, coming out of Jason Mitchell's "Poet's Myth" sessions and going into Christine Salvatore's "Building Worlds" workshop.
I'm crazy proud of this piece!

"Every brilliant idiot eventually flies too close to their own sun." - Futurist Jim Carroll
In its most recent earnings call, Tesla essentially announced that it was giving up on the automotive industry.
The facts are pretty raw as sales plummeted with buyers turning away around the world:
Tesla reported its first-ever year-over-year revenue drop, with net income plunging 61% and automotive revenue falling 11%.
The Model S and Model X are being cancelled, leaving only the Model 3,
Model Y, and Cybertruck in production
The Cybertruck itself is a dismal failure, a bright silver MAGA-mobile screaming out its association with the insanity of the owner
Every country in the world saw a decrease in sales of Tesla vehicles because of Musk's involvement with a hated political brand, and none-too-subtle support of Nazi causes
Instead of designing new models, the company is making a massive bet on two-person autonomous vehicles with no steering wheels or brakes
The company plans to sink $20 billion into AI efforts, including a controversial $2 billion investment into Elon Musk’s separate xAI venture that might draw SEC attention
This is what happens when you link a once-powerful brand to a toxic message; a once-revered founder becomes erratic and hateful; and a once innovation-rich organization becomes bled dry of its creative engine.
The response online is interesting, to say the least.
To start, the 'Tesla fan boys, 'as they are known, bought in, despite the negative financial results and cuts, Tesla stock surged $13 per share in after-hours trading. Those who worship at the Altar of Elon are agog with joy as he spells his dreams of selling a million humanoid robots within a year, millions of autonomous robotaxis, and other wild dreams of tomorrow. They've bought into his bold claims that the robots it is pivoting to will do surgeries within 3 years, fold your laundry, take care of senior citizens, and much more.
Grandiose bullshit, to say the least. Many of us have been here before.
But here's what's interesting - you now see a LOT of diehard Musk fans finally throwing in the towel, realizing that it's game over for what was once the world's greatest mass-market automotive wonder.
Reading the chatter, it's evident that many are finally becoming tired of his litany of lies.
Of course, none of this comes as a surprise to those of us who saw through the deceit, the madness, and the lies of Musk years ago.

Plan for #stream tomorrow!
Whispering Infinities when I get up!
Stream will be longer - about 18:00 beginning with the #Aniimo beta; #CoreKeeper with Arcin3 and Keelasnep around 20:00; then dropping to the Prometheus map of #Icarus with Arcin3 starting around 23:30!
All times are Pacific!
The Stream Team: #ICARUS blew up (the good kind of blew up) this past month. Let's go see why. Join MJ live at 2p EST for Sandbox Saturday!

In falling he felt absolute freedom.
If you were just sitting there thinking to yourself, "I wish I had some modern disco music to listen to right now." then you're in luck because Icarus just released his latest album Obsidian!
Das #Icarus Projekt konnte seine Antenne an der ISS nicht nutzen, weil Russland den Datenstrom abgeklemmt. Stattdessen bauen sie jetzt viele kleine Satelliten die Tierwanderungen sogar genauer messen:

📚 ICARUS-Projekt zur Tierbeobachtung nimmt Betrieb wieder auf.
• Internationale Kooperation nach Kriegsbeginn 2022 beendet.
• Start ursprünglich 2020 mit Antenne auf der ISS.
• Wiederaufnahme der Tierbeobachtung geplant.
