The blog is dead. Not just mine, but most of the so called blogosphere. I am certain that many remain, but most of the ones I used to read were shut down. At last maybe one or two remained, but I stopped reading blogs altogether. That probably contributed to the fact that I also stopped writing here. Well, here and everywhere.
It seems yesterday when I had to uninstall feedly, the app which with I replaced Google reader because I spent too much time in it. And now, I spend much more time on youtube and the like and I have not deleted them. Although I considered it. Maybe someday... But with reading blogs at least I read, that is more demanding that simple doomscrolling. Although I am probably idealizing the past, probably most of my time reading blogs was nothing but scrolling past meme posts. However there were a couple of more interesting reads, some that require real effort. The more lighthearted and funny ones disappeared. Maybe one or two of the heavy ones remain? Yes, at least a couple are there. And a third mini one that makes me really happy. That is good to know.
I had an idea for the blog, to maybe go back to the Tell-Tale label content, but that also came to naught. I could not find a moment nor a topic to write about. I thought many times of bringing back Mel the Cosmonaut and its retro science fiction, but I could not think of a future more bleak that the one in front of us. I cannot think of a extreme scenario that seems more terrifying that the one dominated by AI that seems to be developing in front of our very own eyes. And it scares me. I do not want to think too much into it, and I think I cannot fathom the dimension of the changes ahead of us, and therefore, any future scenario will be ridiculously dated the moment I write it down. I could try fantasy or any other genre, but I am not finding topics at the moment. I should try maybe more casual approaches to writing but for the moment, I am stuck at the blank page.
I still think that is the way, I do not see me writing anything else. Tales and sad little justifications like this one. Well, there is one other option. To end this once and for all. I really would not want that, but I think I have said that enough times, and I never change anything. This could be an opportunity of at least keep me from wasting my time in nothing of value, and alt least have a sequence of words by the end of it. That was the plan, ten months have passed by and nothing was written. Not here, not anywhere. This could be the end of it. I hope not. I hope.
Well, just in case, farewell.
