Smith SnapshotHave you heard about visual snow syndrome? Do you suffer from it yourself?

the roamerWill we ever get this sorted?, he asked, almost crying. It's such a mess. We aren't really equipped to do this, are we? Oh, no, we never will sort it, she said, smiling. And we are really, really bad at it.No one ever succeeds. Stop fussing. Here, have one of my Rotis, fresh from the pan.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/vss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vss</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/imperfections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#imperfections</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/failings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#failings</a>

the roamerThe old schemer went through his contacts list. There must be sombody to get him out.Henry: dead. Richard: oh, that corruption case got him into prison. Ah, Jenny, she will be fine ... oh, she has made an agreement with The Sun, to stop them from publishing ..., never mind. Allison is now prime minister, and she will kick me out before I finish my sentence. Peter: dead. Anthony: unreachable. Damn it, the network is gone.

the roamerJames looked at his screen in panicked disbelief. All his files, gone. All backups, gone.He stumbled into the main room of the house. It used to be the drawing room, but they had come to use it for storing all those boxes, unopened since they had moved in, five years ago. His daughters now called it Dad's Storage Room.He sat down between the boxes. Diaries of his grandmother. His own diaries from all those years. Books, books, books. He opened one box.There it was, the cheap volume in shabby green binding.Wir schreiten auf und ab im reichen flitter // Des buchenganges, beinah bis zum tore, // und sehen aussen in dem feld vom gitter // Den mandelbaum zum zweitenmal im flore.That is it, James thought. That is what will remain. Paper, print, long-forgotten emotions, tied to pieces of paper.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/vss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vss</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/backups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backups</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/print" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#print</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/analogue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#analogue</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/StefanGeorge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StefanGeorge</a>

the roamerFor heaven's sake, Watson. Of course she was murdered in the bakery. Can't you see the flour spread all over her jacket?Forgive me, Holmes, but might this not be some other powder? Of a very different nature, we might say?[A lengthy pause.]Ah, said Holmes.

the roamerWhat you have failed to take into account, Professor Moriarty, Holmes said calmly, rising from his chair and reaching for his pipe, is the inevitable ...Forgive me, Shirley, Moriarty interrupted, but I haven't, and inevitable it isn't.

the roamerI entered the drawing room and saw Holmes bent over his phone, typing with his thumbs.Did you know, Watson, Holmes said without looking up, did you know that Moriarty has set up his account so that all his toots auto-delete after one week? So why is it that this one toot is still there? Most remarkable.Moriarty has a Mastodon account?Yes l, of course he has, Holmes said, don't you see how it all fits together? Holmes remained silent for the rest of the evening, busy typing on his phone.You'll get RSI if you don't take a break, Holmes, I said.

Sipho MoloiWe barely survived that attack from this Shadow Company. They came in dressed as American soldiers to catch us with our guard lowered. None of the insurgents in this country have ever employed these types of tactics. Many of my comrades died. The brass wants us to sit around and do nothing. There is no way I'm letting this brazen attack go unpunished.

Sipho MoloiThis alien invasion has been nothing short of apocalyptic. I've seen entire buildings get demolished and people ripped to shreds by alien weapons.

Sipho MoloiThis raid keeps getting worse. First, the city's two most notorious gangs decide to battle it out in this fancy place. Then some of these bandits transformed into these buff monstrosities that are nearly impervious to bullets. And now, CSIS is involved. How can this night get any more ridiculous?
