How am I supposed to write dark, dystopian, near-future speculative fiction in 2025? Christofacist takeover - already happened, AI "foom" scenario - in progress, asteroid heading to Earth - scheduled. I know! A teenage girl is chosen to save the USA, but is distracted by multiple love interests...

I doubt I will ever become an enforcer for a brutal criminal organization. But, if it happens, I already know my signature threat:
Break into the victim's house with a 18" serrated knife. Then cut ALL their bread into slices that are 15% wider than the slots in their toaster.

Mind blown - I just realized that the song Monster Mash is NOT the song that the monsters were dancing to. Monster Mash is a song about some other song that the monsters partied to. What was the original song? WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL SONG?

I'm thinking this might be a good idea. A tournament to see who is the best monster (or monstrous entity). Thoughts on these matchups?

Godzilla vs. Satan - who would win? If this battle occurred in an urban area, what would the collateral damage be like?
(Don't worry - this question is completely hypothetical. It is extremely unlikely that this fight would ever happen)

1) I say: #Alexa start timer for 30 minutes
2) House #Internet goes down
3) Alexa timer goes off. It doesn't respond to voice commands to stop timer due to lack of Internet.
I predict some form of this problem will kill people sometime in the next 3 years.
In other words: No-Internet = #Death

I said, “this infant is pregnant. And she is in labor.”
