Sometimes I miss DVD commentary tracks but then I remember they just call them “podcasts” now. Does anyone else worry that the only time they’re their true self is when they’re alone with the...
prompt: rose, title: by many other names in misc. flash fiction
One day, Rose awoke to discover she could suddenly be two places at once. Literally, two places at once. She could copy herself over to live out her lives twice at a time. She was never sure why ...

That very brief period where Steve Guttenberg was a bankable film star, I sure hope someone said “He’s a Guttenberg printing press… FOR BOFFO BOX OFFICE MONEY!” While still developing in its ...

A terrible thing would be mashing up Korn and Coldplay into Kornplay. I will only accept the reboot of The Office if they retool it into being the behind the scenes of the business offices of...

An East Coast rapper and a West Coast rapper should fake a feud and then it all turn out to be a publicity stunt for Impossible Burger because that too would be fake beef. The day will come ...

I kind of want The Weeknd to buy the Bernies Dot Com website so his email can be Weeknd At Bernies Dot Com. Our representatives shouldn’t be preening fancy idiots pretending they’re better th...

Move to Montana’s capital. Start a restaurant called “Helena’s Ham Basket”. It will be worth it, if only for the meme. This push to re-invent Martha Stewart as a feminist icon is so bizarre. ...
“It’s about vampires, you know.” She looked up from an endless pile of biology finals in front of her. She’d been in a grading fugue state and couldn’t tell if she’d been at it for ten minutes or...

EMPATHCIZE! It’s like AEROBECIZE or JAZZERCIZE, except we just put on spandex and try our best to understand the feelings others. Scratch the surface of anyone laboring so hard to live a perf...
