Change feels like a funhouse mirror lately.
The AJC, Atlanta’s journalistic backbone for 157 years, is ending its print edition on Dec. 31. Meanwhile, Zinwa Technologies is reviving the BlackBerry Classic as the Q25 – a $400 Android with a physical keyboard due to Gen Z’s digital detox demand. It’s like Willy Wonka’s “up is down, black is white.” Yes, I still use a BlackBerry, and yes, people laugh.
In a political and cultural landscape where nothing shocks, and contradictions stack like Jenga: endings birth nostalgia, chaos craves classics, and in this upside-down world, we’re reaching for keys we thought we’d lost.
