How to Watch Jordan Peele Films with White People. Top Story - August 2026.
It may seem silly to have to remind people that audiences are not the same everywhere you go. There were many white people who found it odd that ''Get Out'' was such a massive hit with the black community. And yet, it was (I saw it twice in one week), as were ''Us'' and ''Nope''. So this is just a handy guide for those of you who want to make your white friends comfortable while watching the films of this very interesting man’s oeuvre (a pretentious term that your white friends will love).

Is Reading on the Toilet Still a Thing?
There was a time in America when entering someone's bathroom meant being granted access to their private literary collection. Nobody discussed this. Nobody questioned it. You simply walked into the restroom, locked the door, sat down, and discovered that your host had thoughtfully provided enough reading material to survive a minor gastrointestinal emergency.

Sweat. Honorable Mention in Too Hot for This Challenge.
Jake's friend Barry wanted to talk business with him. This was not unusual. About once a month Barry decided it was time for the next revolutionary start-up. Barry's normal job was life coaching, which was essentially going on Zoom and yelling motivational phrases at people for two hundred dollars an hour. Naturally, a guy who could repeatedly sell people that situation had some natural talent going for him, at least in the arena of grifting.

The Day that Hell Froze
Everyone says that they will do something "when hell freezes over," and they mean that as a way to say that that will never happen. This story starts the day right before, in my mind, hell froze over and is about what happened to me on that day.

(Not a) Nice Day for a Funeral. Winner in Too Hot for This Challenge.
You could tell that Aunt May had lived a double life just by looking at the mourners. On the one hand, you had your dark two piece suits and black dresses and pantyhose - I myself was wearing a belted polyester dress with a just a soupçon of lycra – and on the other, you had your flowy florals and a notable preponderance of purple. When we arrived, someone had been drumming, and I said to Michael that we must have come to the wrong place, but he said how many Forest Funeral venues do you think there are in Herefordshire, and then I spotted my cousin Jeff in a pair of shorts and a white shirt and realised we had been right all along.

I Wonder What the X-Men Do in a Heat Wave. Content Warning.
I wonder what the X-Men do in a heat wave. I realise this as I realise the lock on my bedroom door in my college dorm has swollen shut as the metal has expanded. And the windows are barred because of the time Tina from Humanities got slightly inebriated after drinking her stomach’s capacity of tequila and tried to jump out the window.

Things We All Pretend We Know How to Do
There comes a point in every person's life when you realize something deeply unsettling about adulthood: nobody knows what they're doing. As children, we assumed adults possessed information unavailable to us. They understood mortgages. They could balance a checkbook without asking anyone for help. They knew which wrench to use and the names of both screwdriver types. (Phillips, flathead) They could determine whether a melon was ripe simply by touching it. They could stand beside a broken car, stare into the engine compartment, and somehow diagnose the problem through facial expressions alone. Then we became adults and discovered the terrible truth: they're bluffing. We're all bluffing...
