Fidel Castro has popped up in public to remind us that he isn’t dead yet, and to let us know that he isn’t in charge of the Cuban Communist Party. And, um, he hasn’t been in the past five years. Because he let his brother take over in 2006, and didn’t realize that it might be cool to let people know that it was permanent.

Signifying a shift from frightening and badass revolutionary icon to adorably senile cigar-smokin’ guy, Castro stated that it didn’t occur to him resign after shifting provisional power over to Raúl during his serious illness; “it never crossed my mind that I needed to formally and expressly resign,” he said in a recent opinion piece.

Awkwardly, Communist Party website still lists him as first secretary.
