Let's go to the beach
Jerry woke up sweaty and hot. It was only 8:00 am and the temperature was already at 85 degrees. “Damn, why didn’t I put that central air in last fall? Stupid.” I guess it’s that kind of summer day when the only choice is to go to ocean, he mumbled to himself.

Self-Checkout Is Just Unpaid Employment
There was a time when grocery shopping was beautifully uncomplicated. You grabbed your groceries, rolled your cart to the front of the store, exchanged a few pleasant words with the cashier, and someone, an actual employee, bagged everything while you wondered whether you'd remembered to buy ketchup.

Why George Santos Should Replace the Bald Eagle as the U.S. Mascot
Paramount to the stars, stripes, and AR-15s that denote America’s identity is the nation’s emblem. This symbol is iconically American to the greatest extent. It appears on currency, passports, and stamps. It encapsulates foundational national values. Clearly, the official U.S. emblem possesses an unparalleled level of eminence and authentic American spirit. Even cowboy attire looks unpatriotic in comparison.

There was a time, long ago, in a gentler and more naïve civilization, when the sound of a ringing phone meant something simple. It meant someone wanted to talk to you. That time is dead… Murdered. Buried beneath an avalanche of robocalls, extended warranties, suspicious silences, heavy breathing, and one deeply committed individual who keeps asking if you’ve considered switching to solar power, even though you live in a forest yurt, and haven’t seen the sun since 2009.

I Audited My Own Thoughts and Found Most of Them Unnecessary...
In the interest of self-improvement, clarity, and whatever passes for accountability these days, we at The Pompous Post decided to conduct a full internal audit. Not of finances, nor productivity… nor of anything useful, but that’s beside the point. We decided to audit our thoughts! Well, one of us did; the other just read it and laughed.
