Love it all. Quoting this bit: "By now, we’ve exceeded the flesh and established digital death cults, floating mass graves on the Internet. We meet and ingratiate or disgrace one another’s avatars as we pose the constant threat of mutual ego debt to each other, and some personalities are just too expensive and unhinged for our neat and petty categories."
Hauntingly relevant. This line especially, “in a world of hostages to the ever flickering virtue signal, cherish the appeal of evil, the spectacle of it.”
Beautiful. Echoes of Nina Simone, John Lee Hooker, and Caravaggio: “Do not worship me and do not pity me, the blues demand. I am terrible and I am the ideal, they snicker. Worship me, pity yourselves for being so narrow as to kill your saviors with judgement.”
