"Beige Party?" It's more of a question than a statement. "It's a cult, you know," warns John. You consider your current circumstances. TikTok influencers swarm like bugs. Corporate Threads accounts have hijacked #DJPJs. Bluesky exists. And the AI is generating images of its wedding to you. "That's fine," you decide. "Check your email," says John, ending the call. You do. You click the link. You're transported. It's a nice void. Qu...

"Once. I don't want to talk about it." "Why? What happened?" asks Trendz. "Sorry, but it might help us understand this." You blush very brightly. "It fell in love with me." "They'll do that," says Trendz "Then it got weird." "They'll do that," says Joan. "Have you seen the movie 'Misery'?" Joan and Trendz nod. "I read the book," says Hot Librarian. "Like that." "O...

"I tried kombucha," you answer. "First I thought it was bad, then OK, then no." "Been done," says Trendz. "What else?" "I went to the library and a coffee shop in my PJs. That's weird." "Not even. Have you seen GenZ? No, it's something else." "The hashtags are no help," sighs Joan. As you brainstorm, the cafe fills up. You bump the music up. "Maybe it's something someone's saying about you," sug...

You find an indie flick called "The Fediverse." The hero, JM, inhabits an alt-timeline world. Their main superpower is "boosting." There are subplots about esoteric computer systems, a reptilian alien overlord (and his hot wife), and cats, but the main villain is an evil billionaire. Halfway through, you get a text: "Reply now to federate." There's a knock at the door. You answer. A woman with a pound sign tattoo on her shoulder tells you to follow her. Ther...

"Is there a back door?" you ask Lily. There's a fluttering noise as the roosting bats descend in a flurry of leather wings. You blink and are surrounded by the most wholesome plaid-clad people you've ever seen. "Who...?" you ask. "That's not important," a ruddy older man dismisses the question, thumbs hooked in his overall straps. "We'll distract 'em. You run." The bats engage the HOA goons. You look back to see much flailing and sq...

May 5 White People Checklist: *Are you wearing a themed hat? Take it off. *Tacos are fine. Ditto burritos. *If you must drink tequila on a Tuesday, that&#39;s on you, not Mexico. *No one cares that you went to Cabo once. Ditto Tijuana. *Mexican Independence Day is Sept. 16.

If you had the resources, what book would you put in hotels, a la Gideons bibles? (This may be a very American question, I dunno.)

&quot;Chug, chug, chug. Puff, puff, puff. Ding-dong, ding-dong. The little train rumbled over the tracks,&quot; you giggle to yourself as you pull away from the station. It&#39;s official. You&#39;re on vacation. You&#39;ve never traveled by rail before and are buzzing with the romance of it all. The ambiance may not exactly be giving Orient Express, but you&#39;ve got a roomette, a view, and you don&#39;t have to drive. Budget luxury! The scenery is still too famil...

Y&#39;all recall I said we&#39;d start a new story tomorrow? Well... I&#39;ve got to run to AZ this week, so... We&#39;ll start our next story on 4/20. It seems like a good date to start some nonsense.
