Silver Splash and My Commitment to Linda’s Grandson
I currently know more than I’d ever wanted to about Gout, Medicare, menu changes at Cracker Barrel, and my new friend Linda’s misbehaving grandson. It's delightful.

Travel Etiquette Bingo: Team TPA
Because I travel frequently, I have the (dis)pleasure of seeing all kinds of classless behavior in airports, and let me tell you, Crocs and pajamas are just the start. I often wonder, as I’m making my way through TSA or to my gate or to the boarding line, if I’m the only one who has ever ventured into a public space before.

Saying Goodbye to My Watch. Also, Have You Seen My Phone?
My best-therapy-practices have always included assuming someone else is the problem, ignoring my advice on the first pass, and shoving my muted phone deep into my purse. But then…the lines started to blur.

I have a draft of a humor piece called “This Dang Ol AI Man, Shoot” that’s literally just 500 words of Boomhaur talking about AI, and it works surprisingly well. Might be McSweeney’s material. We’ll see.

In Futurama, “Mom” of Mom's Robot Company code switches between kindly mother figure and ruthless authoritarian. What wild to me is the authoritarian tech CEOs of real life don't even both to code switch.

No, I cannot do laundry; I must write an unhinged humor piece about generic brand Dr. Pepper.

I've got a new thing coming soon to McSweeney's. Stay tuned. I haven't published there since 2023. I'm excited.

SMILEFRACTURE — a study in polished ruin

Smiling, even when the paint peels —
not for hope,
but for the brief illusion of endurance.
