It’s time to modernize movie aliens

Hey, Hollywood: your aliens have gotten boring. I came to this incredibly intelligent conclusion while watching The Tomorrow War on Amazon Prime. Chris Pratt’s latest sci fi action flick about a family man recruited to travel into the future to battle extraterrestrials is amazingly stupid but also perfectly fine for a Saturday night on the …

Onboarding

Where do the Tallisker corporation’s demonic executives come from? Well… You twelve scumbags are here because we believe each of you has the potential to become one of the biggest assholes in the world. Make no mistake: the Tallisker Corporation is not looking for the best and the brightest. We want the worst. The most …

The things they don’t tell you about losing weight during a pandemic

I entered the time of corona like a caterpillar, and thanks to a decrease in booze and an increase in healthy habits I’ve exited my COVID cocoon looking like…a stick bug, I guess. My lost 25 pounds is now super obvious in ways it wouldn’t have been if I’d been able to watch it slowly …

Reflections on my first dinner in a restaurant in over a year

I’ve been into this shit since …

One more

I don’t care what people think: HealthMaxx is an amazing brand and I love selling their products! “They’re a pyramid scheme,” my neighbor Penelope said at brunch the other day. “You’re gonna end up spending the kids’ college fund on a closet full of lotion you can’t move.” She was three mimosas deep so I’ve …

Reflections on Muse21

When the pandemic hit, I told myself I was going to spend all my extra time on my writing. That didn’t quite happen. Did I accomplish as much as I thought I would without all the fun city things distracting me? No, but I still got a lot done. I started by signing up for …

Farts should be protected speech

Recently, a young Austrian man was fined for farting in the general direction of a police officer approaching him and his friends in a park for an identity check. In court, the man tried to argue that this fine is ridiculous because his flatulence should be protected under his freedom of expression. The presiding judge …
