Journalism is dead. Entertainment is all that’s left. People have been protesting for weeks on the streets but that’s not news. Women’s rights are being eroded at every turn but that’s not news. News is something that can be made flashy, jazzed up, get some ratings in, hit some key demos.

This is the world you made, America. The news is The Newsroom. Every anchor is Jim Walcott. Satire, too, is dead.

So many people I know long for zombie outbreaks and postapocalyptic wastelands. Guess what, friends? Dystopia is already here. Everything is bought and sold, nothing is real. Watch a glowing rectangle as the world destroys itself.
