you may feel that your life has stalled today. i read conspiracy to riot by lee weiner. it seems we keep saying it could be worse and it stays the same but the same is worse. it was a compact volume i read in two days. state power is the same as during the conventions of 1968, but the technology and the military have gone sickly exponential. i sit on the sidelines watching and trying to not despair about my own little life in this big exponential wasting scheme. and just keep moving. local feeling planetary with dogs.
