Right. Let us begin with Apep (pronounced 𓌇𓊪𓊪𓆙). Mention of this ancient Egyptian deity began appearing early in the 22nd century BC as the sun was setting upon the authority of the Old Kingdom. As chaos incarnate, oppugnant to order and light, no doubt Apep was frequently sighted walking in Memphis near the collapse of the Eighth Dynasty. And get this, when Isis, Set, and Ra jacked Apep (as part of their Egyptian power grab) and tossed him into the underworld … Apep wasn't having it. Every morning thereafter he'd make his way back to the horizon, ahead of Ra, and force that f$&ker to defeat him in battle just to put the sun in the sky. And in the event of a solar eclipse … an eclipse meant that Apep managed to swallow that f$&ker … the sun returning to the sky only after Ra's companion gods manage to topple Apep and cut open his stomach.

Honesty, I haven't a clue why, in February of last year, I found myself pondering the web of dragon mythology that so ensnares the imagination of man. Of how the machinations of my mind materialized the path it would then travel, I've an even clumsier grasp. I believe there is something significant to be found within the folds of fumbled expression held by the essay I had composed. Now, a year later (finding myself in possession of more diversely and formidably equipped faculties), I shall recompose its art and prose, hoping to attain a composition that more capably communicates that which I have to say. It shall be begin with a declaration.

Close … but no cigar @HeidiHeitkamp. Their problem's not recognizing the implications of a bifurcated information ecosystem and adapting strategery to focus on the merging of bubbles for the restoration of a common reality.

The spam being attached to my promoted tweets is so random. A reply tweet to the portrait of Murphy:

Random realization striking nearest to the dwindling flames of Prometheus' fire: the supplanting of print media by social media has shifted the appraisal process for any given statement from the gravity of the words themselves … to how many likes …how many RTs they produce.

The universe isn't everything, Neil … there's a medium within which it must persist.

I can't back the DVR up any farther, but on the off chance I did hear what I thought I heard: how 'bout we not confuse the word suffrage for the word suffering during Women's History Month. K thx.

Those were tornado drills @TiffanyDCross … we didn't have bomb drills in Cobb County in the 80's.

Pretty sure I have you muted, @MalcomNance, because you were wrong about something … I attempted to impart the requisite insight for reaching right … and you turned out to be yet another non-interactive (which I clear out of my timeline to quell the frustration) … but whatevs.
