    Is This Even Cohesive?

    It is I again. I’m just gonna say it out loud, folks. Respect the dead. Don’t use AI to see what they would look like had they lived to present day. First off, it’s kinda creepy. It’s just cringe...

    • I agree… let the dead rest in peace … and let the living live in peace

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Sam. So glad you enjoyed the write my friend. I agree wholeheartedly with every word you said there. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Great reflections, Damian! You are absolutely right, we all should treat each other with respect, dead and living people alike. The past is gone and the future isn’t ours to see. We should live in the present moment and fill it with love, peace and new experiences. Life is short, let’s make the best of it for the sake of all living beings!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Sappho. So glad you enjoyed the write my friend. Absolutely, we should make the best of the time we’re here. Thanks so much for such great commentary. Appreciate you.

    • Famous dead celebrities are always resurrected. Big business my friend. Great write Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the write my friend. Yeah, I know everything reeks of Capitalism unfortunately. Everything is business, cut and dry, profit and loss. Wish we could change that, brother. Appreciate you.

    • I’m with you here, Damian. It’s just plain wrong to use AI to bring back someone’s image. There’s so many heartbreaking stories out there about this. I call it necromancy, not art.
      I’m sure everyone has seen the guy whose family brought his image back to life in court to let it say it forgives the guy who murdered him. This is “Black Mirror” and it’s wrong.
      Thank you for bringing this to light.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree wholeheartedly, also thank you so much for such great commentary. I can see that, considering it necromancy, it sure as hell ain’t art. They do it with audio as well. Example: Using AI to make it sound like Freddie Mercury sang some song we know he never sung. This world has gone mad. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I told a close friend that AI is going to rewrite the social contract.
      This very articulate vent here hit the nail on the head as to what I meant
      Glad you shared this, Damian

      Much respect

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Naaj. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I can see that, AI rewriting the social contract. Corporations only care about the bottom line, tax cuts, and their corporate welfare. People get in the way of that. They want cheap labor, so they can acquire more wealth and power. Creative people annoy them, they don’t possess the gifts to create, and they don’t like paying the people who can. So, AI is there ticket to not having to deal with us pesky creative folks. Sorry, for continuing to rant, but you brought up a good point, and my mind just ran with it. Much respect. Appreciate you.

    • It is very cohesive. People put too much energy in re-writing the past instead of focussing in influencing the future for the greater good…

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Jade. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You hit the nail on the head, always wanting to rewrite the past. Especially our Government. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I love the rants, and I agree it is creepy to see them. Just let it be. Stress from work, life and lack sleep will march across your face quick. No need to use filters to see how you would age. Nice one, Damian

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Ain’t that the truth. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I sometimes read your writing & get the sense I’m reading the manuscript of an oracle. You say uncohesive, I see fluid & dead accurate…pardon the pun. I have a debate with my roommate who is mildly obsessed with AI over the use of it. I use it to turn my writing into music because I lack musical skills. But while I have more that 200 in my personal playlist, they’re for me & I share very few. Because if I could create the music myself, that would be the only route I’d use. With my daughter rocking vocals…that girl! Trust me, my friend, it’s very cohesive

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Well thank you, I try to stay on point, but my mind just grabs on to multiple directions sometimes. Must be the Pisces in me. lol. Nothing wrong with using AI for fun or like you did to put your words to music, because you can’t write music. Nobody understands that any better than me my friend. In the songwriting duo, I was lyrics, I needed Joey G to pull the ideas out of me musically, that was the only way I ever got music ideas out. Or I’m good on GarageBand, because I’m decent at arranging music and song structure. So I need help as well my friend. Your daughter was singing on that song you posted?? Always enjoy your commentary my friend, you make me ponder, which is cool. Appreciate you.

    Latchkey Kid—and Proud of It

    • What a ride. This is fantastic. I was one of those latchkey kids as well. We did it and made it work. Ingenuity & creativity. It made us for what we are today. We weren’t kids sitting in the corner crying about spilled milk or some lame ass shit they cry over today. Nice work here.

      • Hi there Vision, I don’t know, I’ve been on this whole spinnaker of how life used to be. I think it’s the fact that the past 30 + years, life in America has just been decimated and eliminated; everything America was, is truly gone. And I’m feeling the burn. It’s not like generations before, where things would change and that was the way life goes, but it hasn’t just changed, It’s just gone.
        Thank you for visiting. I always appreciate your presence on my page❤️

    • I don’t agree with everything but that’s okay. Your work makes you think. It’s a topic that is right at the front of the world but everyone is ignoring it. I like how you just tackled the issue in the room.

      You might enjoy Ray Bradbury’s short Story “The Veld” it echoes what you are highlighting here.

      Keep up the intensity my friend
      I really enjoyed this

      James

      • Nice to see you James. I appreciate you coming by to read me. It’s just a crazy world we live in. That’s all. And I will check out Ray Bradbury Veld.
        Thank you my friend

    Couldn't Read My Eyes

    Memories painted by a disgruntled brush Dysfunctional thoughts falling short of wise Won a game of poker with a busted flush I bluffed a demon who couldn’t read my eyes     Copyright @ Damian DeadLove 2025

    • This is a clever write. After reading your work, I’m sure you could bluff a demon.
      I enjoyed this, Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I would hope I could, in that situation. Appreciate you.

    • If you can be stoïc enough to successfully embody that poker face……maybe you are the demon…😉

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Jade. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Interesting theory, maybe I need an exorcism. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m kinda hoping I remember how, in case I run into that demon again. lol. Appreciate you.

    • This post, at first blush, leaves me with what to disagree with. After a second read, and seeing the layers underneath, it is powerful and insists that one consider it on the deeper level. Many thanks and blessings. <3 Echo

    • Fist in the air, I’m over here going “Yeah! And…yeah!” All the way through this one. I remember this one & I’m glad she followed you over. Some truths should never fade into darkness. Favorite line:

      Only way to quit the lie is to go cold turkey

      That is gold, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I loved that line as well. It ranks high as one of my best in my opinion. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Raw and gritty. Love it.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Totally agree…
      We got a shitstorm of rhetoric and meaningless ambiguity to wade through. I remember the term “Double Speak” from Orwell’s 1984. So legitimate. The dude had the future pegged.

      What we need round here is another Nostradamus and some hymnals.

      Great write

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, DK. So glad you connected with the write my friend. He did get some of it spot on, indeed. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks, Adira. It feels great to be free, at least for a while.

    • You know, in my class we’d spin the bottle, and the teacher wasn’t invited. I’m so glad you’re in there doing the spinning. It’s obvious that you make learning fun. (I’m not saying we didn’t have fun learning, but it wasn’t on the curriculum.)

      Have fun in your new life! You’ve earned it.

      • If it was Van Halen’s Hot for Teacher, the teacher might have been invited to Spin the Bottle (old video but still fun, I think anyway).

        Thanks for the good wishes on my new life. While web surfing I stumbled upon a school I might actually like. Going to apply. Can always turn it down.

    • Phenomenal write. Your poetry has such humor & realism. Love it! Wishing you the best of luck in your journey.

    • This is a great read.
      I wish I had teachers like you who gave a damn about her students. I’ve had ADD my whole life. I outgrew it for years but now as a geezer it’s returning…. which sucks.
      I skim everything but I read every word here…

      Best of luck going forward.
      I’m thinking of retiring but the thought of it makes me kinda want to puke. I’m old enough to retire but I’m not done yet.
      Need a new career not so much for the money but more for identity..

      BIG LIKE
      IMAGINARY RL AWARD

      • Thank you PS. I get the retirement struggle. Even if I could afford to retire at this point, I know I would feel lost. Like you, I feel I have more to give. And structure is necessary for ADDs like us. I’m just hoping to find a new gig that’s not as stressful. Hope you find what you’re looking for too.
