For over a year I have checked the news and seen story after story that seemed impossible or ridiculous. Everyday my screen has been filled with images that I immediately dismiss because they were obviously created in the fever dream of some over hyped appliance. Recently I saw a photo of Kid Rock saluting an attack helicopter as he stood next to a miniature Statue of Liberty with a swimming pool stretched out in front of him. My mind had to quickly decide if what I was seeing was more insane and impossible news or was it more AI slop being forced on me. I quickly realized that there was a third option. What I was seeing was simply the new normal, or at least what some would like to become the new normal. We are living in one of George Orwell’s nightmares, we are experiencing all of the chapters he edited out of 1984 because they were simply too unbelievable. We exist in a world where the laws of nature and chemistry and physics no longer matter if they don’t align with the political whims of a single elderly, gluttonous, dimwitted, and demented, orange, individual. Our nation is under the control of a group of obscenely wealthy and disconnected Dadaists and Surrealists who constantly bicker over who is better at ignoring the needs and demands of the peasants. You think each day should end with a rolling screen of credits so you can know who wrote the horror movie we find ourselves in, who directed it, who the key grips and best boys were that helped it all come together. We live in a fantasy world, it just isn’t our fantasy. Everyday there is more insanity, everyday there are more theatrical and false calls to God, everyday we receive more and more of the same with just minor variations. It feels like a sequel to the movie “Groundhog’s Day” but, of course, today isn’t Ground Hog’s day. Today is April first, but it seems that yesterday and the day before and the day before were as well. We can all feel in our guts that tomorrow and the day after and the day after…
Happy April Fool's everyone, it feels like this one is going to stick around for a while.
