Twitter is a million times worse but we need to use it as a tool to promote the podcast.

I certainly remember the days when this place had its fair share of scumbags making people's lives a misery, not just online but spilling out into meatspace as well. It's really easy to forget that it pre-dates twitter and facebuck and i'm not being protective or precious about it, i've gone through the love/hate relationship with it myself over the years but trolling on social media now has taken on a whole new level of nastiness that makes those days look quaint.
By the by, direct link to the pod mp3 for those who want it...

Please, he prayed, now -
A gray disk, the colour of Chiba sky.
Now -
Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -
And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his country, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity.
Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
