The train had stopped, and it was dark. Almost everyone was on the way home and they waited for some explanation of what was happening. It was twilight to darkness time, and the drizzle and dirty windows meant that the passengers could not see very far over the moor where they were stopped.

Will Agentic AI Wipe Out Junior Staff and Middle Managers?
"AI will take your job" is no longer a sci-fi warning. Agentic AI — software that plans and carries out tasks on its own — is now landing in real offices. Executives want a return on what they spent, and a quiet culling has begun.

It shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone, but people never pay attention until after the fact, and by then it’s always too late. The standard complaint is always, “Someone should have done something before this happened,” or “Why didn’t the government take care of this instead of doing nothing?” It’s always easier and more satisfying to blame someone else instead of accepting responsibility, but playing the blame game won’t fix what’s already broken. I know I did my part to alert the world. It’s too bad no one wanted to listen.

Ghosts of Halloween Past
My Halloween Party never happened. At least, that's what you'd think as an outsider looking in. No pictures, no videos, no social media posts about it before or after the fact. Not even the ding of a calendar reminder the morning of to let me know it was time to start baking my homemade pumpkin-shaped Rice Krispies Treats.

People Are Strange. Content Warning.
Thumb on the screen, she swipes up; nothing, just darkness. She swipes left, down, right, up again, similar to inputting a cheat code in an arcade game; still nothing, still darkness.

The Day the Screens Went Dark
A woman in a suit crossed a busy New York road, halfway through recording a voice message as she left work for the day, letting her husband know she'd be home soon.

The Day the World Went Quiet
At 9:17 on a Tuesday morning, the world lost its smallest god. No warning. No announcement. No final message telling us why.

Rotary or Die!
Well, I didn't even notice...at first. Please, sit up straight. No reason to ruin your posture just because of a phone. You wanted to know why I was so calm in the middle of all this nonsense and noise, and I am going to try to be as honest as a lady can when there seems to be no more rules to follow.

In Memoriam: Walter Koenig
In Memoriam: Walter Koenig (1936-2026) I want to preface this by saying how difficult it is to watch your childhood disappear, bit by aching bit. The people and places that once felt permanent begin to thin out, and what remains is mostly memory.

When the phones died at Blackridge Penitentiary.
Warden Elliot Lackheart ran Blackridge Penitentiary the way a conductor runs an orchestra...tight baton, no improvisation, and absolutely no harmful misbehaving.

Pulse. Top Story - October 2026.
Hundreds of people were making their way through the Vintage Faire Mall. They moved slowly with their eyes turned downwards, hyper focusing on their phones.
