As I tidy up before departing, I’ve locked the account, mostly because the pornbots are so relentless.
My only curiosity about them is why they appear to be a wholly heterosexual phenom; I’ve yet to get a random like on a three-year-old-tweet from a shirtless himbo called Oleg.
*looks around with the air of a leading lady surveying a now-empty room at the end of a three-act drama, thoughtfully straitening her hat, then pulling on a glove*
“We had some good times here, didn’t we?”

Always a surprise, when we’re watching old Egyptian movies, to see baby Omar Sharif show up.
One thinks “my goodness, WHO is… AH!” Bone structure off the charts and an awkward, raw charisma that soon got smoothed over into a more polished charm.
This is, by the way, by far the most he wears in this surprisingly earthy drama (a kind of Madame-Bovary-on-Nile). I’ll have to track it down and see if I can’t come up with some screen shots.

Still holding—one to go. Or does everyone already have a place in the lifeboats?
Doing the TV version of doomscrolling this evening, cycling among news programming on Egyptian, Palestinian, Israeli, and international channels. Each presents a slice of a story, but somehow the more I see, the less I understand.
As things around here continue to get weirder and less pleasant, I’m again happy to be able to offer a helping hand over to the Azure Heavens place.
For better or worse, it seems to be the best hope for interactive, conversational social media.
HMU via DM; I’ve got two invites.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Puncturing a balloon with a needle without popping the balloon is not a test of experience or skill at injection.

Don’t know about anybody else, but I’m seeing cosplay of Nana Mouskouri and Amanda Lepore.

I’m still hoping someone can explain why “For You” (at least “for me”) consists of about three-dozen catch-up tweets from people I know, then almost nothing but cancer diagnoses, pet loss, and separation/divorce announcements, all from accounts with which I’ve never interacted.
