I have switched to making not-to-do lists.
Revolutionary would be making the tasks doable (preferably done) by someone else. This is the season when I wish for elves.
Dang! Wrong kind of revolutionary app.
I was hoping this app would help me with tasks like
- Seize the head of state
- Seize the radio station and Hanno’s internet cafe in order to control communications and announce our glorious revolution so the citizenry can rise up in support.
- Seize the Grand Hotel (for it’s strategic location - nothing to do with its overlooking the capitalist nude beach. Put those binoculars down, Franz, they are for revolutionary purposes only!)
- Storm the police station and release our captured brethren (Dieter went on a bender last night and was arrested for singing revolutionary songs outside the Mayor’s window at 3am - a true hero of the revolution!)
- Overthrow the capitalist system and establish true luxury, fully automated, gay space communism.
It’s always the last one I struggle with…
Dunno, I heard this app is so revolutionary that Lin - Manuel Miranda is writing a play about it. Saw it in a meme or something so I’m sure it’s true.
Finally, I have long only allowed totally impossible to achieve things onto my todo list, knowing that Capitalism would inevitably make this app to take advantage of the fantaslists lke myself.
now I just need to get the app and complete the first few todos on my list -
-
fold this reality in on itself so that I can jump up to the higher reality in which this reality is a fictional construct, pulling the app with me that has allowed to jump in and out of fictional realities and do reality folding.
-
embark on a career as a fiction jumping pirate.
-
Build a castle in some primitive out of the way fiction somewhere and rule as evil overlord thanks to the tech and magics stolen from a thousand stories.
-
make fun of the concept of a revolutionary app on boingboing in my off-time.
