And yet we still worship these guys. Yes, guys — The prevailing theory of “wealth” among people my age (millennial scum) is that it is inherited, whereas, the prevailing theory among older wealth-chasers is that millennials are a bunch of jealous little shitsticks. To this end, if you try to look up how wealth is created, you’re met with statistics…

My new favorite type of writing. — I came across a literary magazine recently with a unique offering — they were seeking submissions for ‘Speculative Diary Entries’. I read through the description, sat back, and thought: hell yes. See, Speculative Journaling (I’m going to use ‘journal’ instead of ‘diary’ because my manhood is fragile) is something I’ve…

For example: I forgot how to sneeze. — A year ago, I forgot how to sneeze. One day, when I was about to sneeze, my girlfriend stuck her finger in my mouth, and my brain broke. Since then, when I try to sneeze, I think, Oh, yes! I’m sneezing! And then I lose it. About three months in…

So it’s a mystery why so many men have a knee-jerk aversion…

It’s wildly efficient and stupidly cheap. Turns out, it was even ranked as the best healthcare system in the world last year. (America was 30th). I am leaving Korea in six…

Just don’t be an asshole. — The news loves its fear porn. “Young Couple Goes Abroad. Has Fun.” is not a juicy title for an article. But “Young Couple Murdered in (insert far off scary place you’ve never been).” Now that! That’s a fuckin’ story. People will click that, read that, shit their pants, and then…

Educate them now or the metaverse will. — *originally published in Lustery POV The first full-time job summer job I had was digging through VHS copies of ’70s romcoms looking for boobs. Today, a seven-year-old googling how to make a fruit salad will stumble across more nudity than all my hours of pause, rewind, pause, rew — Oh…
