I want to hate this. I really do, from the tippy top of my wild, untamed hair all the way to the split toenail that never seemed to grow back right. I won’t tease you, get right to it. “Her” name is Nadine, and she is a robot powered by artificial intelligence (AI.) She’s loaded […]

Giraffe poop. Do you have anything to declare? If you’ve ever traveled abroad, you may see this is any of the many questions asked on your way to or from being a global citizen. If you’ve never been out of the country (me), you see this as a time to declare your allegiance to the […]

High Sheep and Storm Dnieal. Commentary by Liam Sweeny.   I like to have fun with you at our little daily story times, but sometimes the difference between tears of laughter and tears of sadness depends on which side of the story you’re on. So let me get the bad out of the way. There […]

Kev M – 150 Days of Nothing But Watermelon. Interview by Liam Sweeny. What are the limits of the human body? If you were stranded on a desert island and only had coconuts to eat for months, would you survive? Kev M took upon himself a quest to go 150 days consuming nothing but watermelon. […]

Momo the Monkey – Maybe AA? Commentary by Liam Sweeny.   Indianapolis is wild, stop me if you live there. Apparently, you’re allowed to have “wild and dangerous” animals there, but they have to be registered. So maybe that AI thing where the big guy shares his pizza with an alligator before full-bore kicking him […]

There is a man, Yelson, who has escaped the turmoil of Venezuela along with his friend and made a treacherous three-thousand-mile journey to the city of Matamoros, […]

Harry Dick Road – A Road You Just Have to Take Home. Commentary by Liam Sweeny.   People steal signs. Crackheads steal signs that say ‘Bump,” for example (look it up, ye wholesome folk.) And people never tire of stealing funny street signs. But when your street sign is Harry Dick Road, highway robbery is […]

Plastic Vanilla. A scientist has created a synthetic vanilla from plastic. I for one will not use it to make my French toast. But that’s mostly because I haven’t finished my bottle of vanilla extract, and waste not, want not. Once I’m tapped, sign me up for plastic vanilla. Smokers, or former smokers, look kinda […]

Wally the Alligator.   Man, these feel good stories, sometimes the idiot media picks a shitty angle and screws up our joy. But I will not have it. Wally the Emotional Support Alligator was NOT, I repeat, NOT barred from Phillies stadium. Yes, a man, Joie Henny, has an emotional support alligator named Walley. He’s […]

Jens Haaning – Blank Canvases – What Art?   Today’s story is called “I’m tired…”       Thanks for reading.   So did I write a story just there? No, not at all, but was it art? A Danish artist is being sued over just such a head-scratcher. Jens Haaning was commissioned by the […]
