I cut, paste, and edit my computer life, operate email, write software, and invest. I have great expectations for tomorrow. Until then, my main goal is to be a positive influence on the lives of the people I love and fully participate in this mystery we call .... life.
Garfield barely resembles a cat. He is more of a logo, a product, a nonsense shape whose meaning derives only from its position in popular culture, as something you can buy. Garfield exists merely as a trinket, another blip in the continual accelerating churn of late capitalism’s ravenous hunger for the “new.” But these trinkets are merely salves for the underlying horrors of late capitalism: social fragmentation, isolation, anxiety. Remove the product from our lives, and we’re left with nothing.
