Sign of the Times

Prince is in my top three favorite artists of all time. And the title to his song “Sign of the Times” couldn’t be more prophetic. If I remember the Apocalypse Papers was to be a hodgepodge of things. Like a weekly Reddit, if I may be so bold. The Apocalypse Papers addressed the serious, the weird, and the downright stupid. But, for some odd reason, the proverbial shit sack is hitting the fan in slow motion. That is my perspective. But you cannot help noticing this nervous tension all over the news cycle. I won’t recall what is going on. But if you navigate to any news aggregator you can see it for yourself.

Thus,

Everyone should know that we are in the middle of a pandemic, but some of us refuse to wear masks. 

Everyone should know you shouldn’t cough on a baby, three times. Come on, lady. 

Everyone should know that protestors have the right to protest. But some people want to poke and taunt a large crowd of chanting people. Who the fuck does that? 

Everyone should know that poking and taunting a large crowd of people is bad. And will result in some of that crowd losing their shit. 

Everyone should know that pointing two weapons at a crowd of protestors is a Custer like move.

 

Even the “feel good” stories have a dark side. I mean a tree falling on a children’s birthday party. Top Broadway performer gets Covid and dies. An engineer who survived September 11th dies from Covid. And it gets worse and worse and worse. And I say, whoever manages the yearly human sacrifice to appease whatever God (big G) needs to do it and do it damn quickly.
