Let’s Take a Moment to Discover if AI Can Write a Good Joke

Or any joke at all. — One of the most challenging things about being a comedy writer is the part where we have to write funny stuff. Other writers, the ones who aren’t trying to make people laugh, don’t know how easy they have it. However, those unfunny writers are finding themselves vulnerable to the rapid…

The Exact Conditions Conducive to Creativity

a short story — Gill sat at his desk with his face planted against the keys of his laptop. Outside a woodpecker tapped at the corner of his house. “Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap.” The bird had been engaged in the same activity for the…

Just a Holiday Portrait Session and NOTHING ELSE

(there is something else) — It was Herbert’s last shift at the department store photography studio and his day had been filled with screaming babies and yowling cats.

My Extremely Brief Stint as a Sports Fan

I gave it a whirl… it didn’t work out. — I never found sports particularly interesting, but, in sports’ defense, I never really tried. I was way too wrapped up in my identity as an art snob. Put on a show in an old mausoleum, or talk about how The Pinchers traded Old Buckley to The Push Pins for one…

A Haunting

The coffee shop closed its doors forever on the night before Halloween. The latest victim of the overeager wrecking ball, it was forced to step aside so the march of progress could continue unimpeded. 93 years of operation and 7,807,350 cups of coffee served—a proud legacy on which to end…

I Might Be Dying and It’s This Chair’s Fault

not literally dying, but an equivalent level of pain, emotionally speaking — I got the smart idea to buy a new office chair, because my old chair was roughly 800 years old and made my butt feel like a bowling ball bouncing across a brick floor. …

A Warm Cookie in a Cool Cave

“Hey beautiful. I saw the picture you posted in the PNW Spelunkers and Snickerdoodle Enjoyers group and, although most of your face was concealed by your goggles and LEPTIOL SHORTHY Caving Helmet with the tough ABS shell, I was instantly captivated. Hope this isn’t too forward, but I’d love the…

The Moist Wars

Fun for everyone to enjoy, okay, maybe not everyone, but someone. — A year ago I got ten likes on a tweet and grew mad with power, using my newfound fame to jump on the cancel train and cancel a word or two.

Need a Pied Piper to Take Care of Your Nasty Rat Problem?

Might want to check out these online reviews — Graham Smearputs ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐— 3 months ago His piping was a pleasure to listen to, filled with high notes and low notes. His prancing was also world-class. I haven’t seen a single rat sniffing around my basement since the HOA hired him. Even if he hadn’t gotten rid of the rats, I’d still…
