The Weird Side of the Internet
Pigeon Summit – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Nations have summits. Every nation has things that they need everybody to come to the table on. Now, of course, everybody usually means, “everybody important,” but what if the problem is truly nationwide. What then? Well, still, everyone important shows up, that’s […]
Beethoven on the Highway – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. You ever hit the strips on the shoulder? Don’t worry; I won’t razz you for lousy driving. Let’s just say you were avoiding a deer, and not dog tired and road hypnotized, the coffee in your cupholder doing you no […]
Shrimp Jesus – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Ever heard of “Shrimp Jesus?” Maybe you’ve seen him around on your Facebook feed. Seemingly contained to that platform, Shrimp Jesus is what’s known as “AI Slop” or AI images that are clogging up the information superhighway. It is any combined image […]
Containing the Sample – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Sometimes you hear something that’s pretty benign, but just freaking out there. For a prime example, going to the doctors to get checked out. And you know part of it is getting the sealed cup and being directed to the bathroom […]
Ultimate Petty – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. There should be a second Guinness Book of World Records, like an alternate book, the “Dark Guinness” book. Like the most crack sold in a single house in a single day, or the person with the most VDs at once. The most […]
Dodging Bullets – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Two kids, friends. Smoking weed, talking smack. Gun afficionados or maybe just badasses. One friend tells the other he can dodge bullets. Again, smoking weed. Two guns and they go into the garage. One unloads, the other zen’s himself for the dodge. […]
Ding-Dong-Dash – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. I remember one time, when I was a kid living in North Albany, that I was a delinquent. Actually, I remember being a delinquent more than one time, but in this instance, my and my buddy were eggin’. Full dozen of eggs in […]
Pigeon Heist – The Weird Side of the Internet – Liam Sweeny. Pigeons can be the bane of urban existence, nature’s very own, indiscriminate whitewasher. Granted, they look cool, I think they do, anyway, and they’re really just rogue doves. Imaging releasing pigeons at a wedding? Pigeons and dollar-store plates and glasses – guarantee that […]
Genius Afterlife – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. If the smartest person on the planet told you what happened when you die, would you believe them? I think it depends, for me. For example, if they told me that a brain study done at the point of death says this […]
Bat Guano – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. I’ve never grown pot, but I was a stoner for years back when you couldn’t get it at a dispensary. And inevitably I’d be in my dealer’s house, one of them anyways, and a bearded, grizzled libertarian type that I knew had […]
