Satire
Has the clown revolution begun??
Happy Halloween everyone!! ¡Feliz Día de Muertos! It's that time of year again, when costumes become human, or maybe humans become costumes. Or maybe humans never really existed and we just unzip our skin suits to reveal some eternal storytime spirit that evades space time.

I Just Wanted Toothpaste... Now I'm Responsible for Deforestation.
There was a time when purchasing toothpaste was a relatively straightforward operation. You walked into a store, found the toothpaste, picked something that smelled vaguely like mint, paid, and went home. The entire transaction took about forty-five seconds and required no understanding of molecular biology. Those days are gone.

Never Talk About Religion or Politics... Unless Your Name Is Mud
Don’t chew with your mouth open. Don’t ask a woman when she’s due unless you can actually see the baby emerging. And never, under any circumstances, discuss religion or politics at a social gathering.

From Ancient Spirits to Sexy Traffic Cones: What the Hell Happened to Halloween?
Halloween is approaching, so Americans are preparing to spend considerable sums dressing up as things they wouldn’t normally let into their homes. Skeletons appear on lawns, plastic spiders are attached to perfectly good furniture, and somewhere, a grown man is practicing walking in an inflatable dinosaur costume while his wife seriously reconsiders the choices that brought them together.

My Brain Remembers 1983, but Advertising Has Forgotten the Truth
Two things about modern civilization concern me. First, the human brain has apparently decided that information from 1983 deserves permanent storage, while anything useful today can be discarded without warning. Second, advertising has become so detached from reality that I wouldn’t be surprised to see a company market a cardboard box as a luxury residential experience.

Did God Just Give the Pope a Performance Review?
When the Vatican announced that Pope Leo XIV — the Chicagoan formerly known as Robert Prevost — was undergoing surgery for lung adenocarcinoma, the media defaulted to its usual clinical vocabulary. They spoke of “nodules,” “lobectomies,” and “video-assisted thoracic techniques” as if the Pope was simply a high-ranking corporate executive suffering an unfortunate mishap.

I Just Wanted a Sandwich, a Photograph, and a Birthday Card...
There was a time when doing simple things was actually simple. You could walk into a restaurant, order a sandwich, eat it, and leave. Taking a family photograph didn’t require appointing a committee, and buying someone a birthday card didn’t mean spending twenty minutes evaluating the emotional credentials of a stranger employed by a greeting card company.

Congratulations... You Have Successfully Existed!
There was a time in American history when receiving a trophy meant you had accomplished something. You won a championship. You finished first. You defeated a worthy opponent. You spent six months practicing a skill until you became demonstrably better at it than the other people attempting the same thing.
