"“Don’t you want to abolish state power?” Yes, we do, but not right now; we cannot do it yet. Why? Because imperialism still exists, because domestic reaction still exists, because classes still exist in our country."

- Mao, On the People’s Democratic Dictatorship (1949)

(Pt.1)

Poll ‘cause I’m curious.

This only applies to people with modern(ish) touch screen smart phones. I’m saying this because I just know someone will want an other/not applicable option.

There’s a special kind of madness in watching your own species slide backward down the greasy evolutionary pole—brains curdling like warm milk under a desert sun, attention spans shriveling to the size of a Tic Tac. It’s like witnessing a monkey get a lobotomy in slow motion, grinning through the blood as the scalpel peels back the last thread of thought. We were supposed to be the apex predators of cognition, the stewards of reason, the goddamn Mozart-playing chimpanzees with space telescopes and nuclear trigger fingers. But now? Now it’s TikTok necromancy and AI-generated horoscopes, dopamine slot machines clutched in trembling paws, while the synapses flicker and die like cheap motel lights. The great cosmic joke is that we mistook ourselves for geniuses at the exact moment we started eating glue again. Evolution, my friend, isn’t a straight line—it’s a spiral staircase greased with hubris, and we’re tumbling down it face-first with a smart phone in our hand and AI pecking away at our critical thinking skills like vultures on roadkill.

PSA

I used my thin little phone to take a picture of a huge camera from the 50s. Ironic, huh? These phones are so much easier to use, but I find that the old fashioned camera that Della Reese is holding makes me happy. It's bulky and cumbersome, but it has character. I like them both, but I can put my phone in my pocket so I guess it wins. I still have a Pentax K1000. When I go buy film for it or get film developed, I get some strange looks. It's okay. Being a dinosaur, I get those looks a lot. 🦖 😁

Every time my phone dies (which is rarely), and I just have to keep up with it for an extended period of time, I accidentally end up giving myself an existential crisis.

Like, I sit there holding it like, “this thing really is just a little block of steel and glass, huh? The source of so much of my misery and anxiety, without its precious little electrons, is among the most useless items I own. It isn’t a computer. It isn’t a communication medium. It isn’t entertainment. It is nothing. Just steel and glass. As useless as the dirt beneath my shoes. Dirt from which it was once extracted. Without its electrons it isn’t special. It’s no different from holding a steel ingot between two panes of glass. It’s useless. It’s worthless. But give it power, and it brings my life to its knees.”
