Having escaped their pages, many wild books roam history now. Venomous plot threads ensnare the unlucky, turn their lives into narratives.
History does not repeat but rhyme, in fact it hates to throw away a good rhyme and will force the issue if necessary

we compress ideas and history into narratives because they become legible this way.↵↵math is a narrative for truth
A fictional history of the kingdom, set in the future. A new passage-↵↵Ｔｈｉｓ ｉｓ ｔｈｅ ｂｅｇｉｎｎｉｎｇ． Ｉ ｒｕｌｅ ｙｏｕ ｎｏｗ． Ｔｈｅ ｆｏｌｌｏｗｉｎｇ ｉｓ ｍｙ ｃｏｍｍａｎｄ．
The future is set in stone. The past, not so much. Having given up on change, we furiously rewrite history in search for telos and hope.
While we puzzle together Earth’s fake history and struggle with the Fermi paradox, they watch from afar and howl with inaudible laughter.

Thanks @kas@enotty.dk for the final nudge to change my bash history settings. Still on the fence about PROMPT_COMMAND=“history -a” though.
They have been king and queen over their garden for as long as history remembers. It is a small kingdom, but even the oaks bow before them.

The ritual of seduction
“The ritual —considered old-fashioned nowadays by just about
everyone under the age of 60— was traditionally a ceremonial, sacred
gesture; its history can be traced to ancient Greece and Rome. In the
Middle Ages, a vassal paid homage to his lord by kissing his hand. By
the 19th century, hand kissing had been reinvented to convey a man’s
gallantry and politesse toward a woman. Those men who still practice it
today know the rules: never kiss a gloved hand or … ⌘ Read more

I am a virus, open me!
The history repeats itself. No matter how many viruses get to their inboxes, no matter how many times you tell them not to open those attachments, when all logic and common sense are just yelling “delete!”, they will open it.
