Satire
The Man Who Was Almost on Carson
Marty Blevins has spent thirty-eight years in comedy, or thirty-six, depending on whether you count the insurance years he claims were spent “developing material.” He calls himself a veteran of the late-night circuit, a pioneer of observational humor, and a performer whose career was once personally affected by the Amazing Kreskin. The Pompous Post dispatched field correspondent Gerald P. Whitcomb to interview Marty ahead of his set at the Chuckle Bucket, a comedy club sandwiched between a tire store and a building that used to be a tire store.

Why Can't I Touch Your Dog?
I am a people-pleasing Beta Male — the sort of non-confrontational man-child who will actively apologize for being in the way if you run over my foot with a supermarket shopping cart, and then agonize for an hour afterward over whether my tone was slightly too aggressive.

Educate 'Em All: A Missing Piece of "Tech"
Hello, and welcome to "Weekend Rants"—my Friday through Sunday series where I will continue writing satire while I do otherwise useful things like living life or letting an algorithm do my thinking for me. If you caught my recent piece The “Surely Unsure” Apocalypse, you already know my thoughts on this: we have officially entered the golden age of human absolute zero.

The "Surely Unsure" Apocalypse
Here is my "thought for the day." I will do my best to keep you from scrolling on by. Please excuse my humor. However, please do not excuse yourself from this page until; reading, "hearting" my story, and subscribing. So please, scroll responsibly.

Everything Is Fine
There is something reassuring about waking up in the morning, pouring yourself a cup of coffee, and spending the first few quiet minutes of the day discovering all the new and exciting ways civilization has apparently gone off the rails while you were sleeping.

I Quit Murdering People for 7 Days. Here’s What Happened.. Content Warning.
My love-hate relationship with homicide has always been complicated. The late nights spent disposing of evidence, the constant stream of alibis. It was exhausting, both physically and emotionally.
