The great people at Carnage House included me in their Best of Year Two anthology. My story in this one made someone want to throw up a little, they said. Mine might be one of the tamer stories in the collection. Check it out!

My ChatGPT-loving engineering professor neighbor stopped speaking to me for 3 months because of our dust up over my anti-AI stance…
"Millions of students cant do their homework because ChatGPT is offline" is a horrifying headline to see because if we dont fix this shit ASAP we're going to have an entire fucking generation that has no actual educations.
Engineers and Doctors who have to pull up ChatGPT to do even the basic shit.

My MN people know this is just Minnesota passive-aggressiveness from the CEO of Target.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.
