I still live

[tebing]

So. At the end of 2020, a wily kookaburra flew into my podcast feed and spun a fantastical tale about an augmented reality game, kind of a poor rip-off of The Jejune Institute, where a bunch of people conspire to pretend to get a target's attention about... AI? Aliens? Something? While actually keeping him in the dark the whole time, and they have some kind of scoring system based on how close they get to revealing The Big Secret without actually giving it away. And they set up some kind of cryptocurrency on a virtual world somewheres where they give each other rewards for running this whole scheme. And guess who's apparently at the center of it all? Without even knowing, all these years? So goes the warning and heads-up a fellow(?) spirit on the opposite hemisphere was relaying to me. At the moment I'm two martinis and two margaritas in, but my point is, I need to vent about my social reality becoming quite warped over the past two-and-a-half years, and this place is as good as any for that. So, hello! How are you all doing? Anyone still reading this? (Anna?)
