i lost track of this blog after the election. i guess writing seemed especially futile right around then. the digital media boom ended with the obama presidency, and it became obvious how useless all our posts were in the face of simple power.
i remember how it felt like so much time and energy was spent on uncovering the subtext to every popular work of media, figuring out the social critiques of every superhero movie and pulpy tv show. as if we could go through with a fine comb, untangle all the knots, and find ourselves in semiotic utopia.
well, i'm a bit older now. i see how little words are worth compared to action. but every once in a while i think of something i'd like to write up and share. so every once in a while, i might post it here. that's all for now.
