Abstract Comic and Appreciation

the future is a process not a destination

the ruins of the unsustainable are the 21st century's frontier

Socrates never did any work, he just hung around the agora tweeting and blogging

Bleak-chic soundbites, fractal crowd attention, amplified copy errors, precious hints of context

Thanks for the amazing Rant!
