Rich is Not Enough
Being rich is never enough. You can have all the money in the world but there will always be that nagging desire for attention. It eats away at your soul if you let it. It consumes all your thoughts. Continue reading Rich is Not Enough
Late Empire Election Night
Election night is almost here. The text messages will stop. The canvassers will have no more doors to knock. For those who care enough to know, they will be glued to their televisions, drowning in an avalanche of county level data and the bravado of political talking heads. Continue reading Late Empire Election Night
Dispatches from the Future, #2
I am coming to you from a high atop your city skyline, in a fortified bunker I’ve dubbed Radial Matrix Tower for reasons I wish not to disclose. This is a dispatch from the future. Continue reading Dispatches from the Future, #2

Events so far beyond our collective imagination that we can’t quite make rational sense as to how we arrived at our present moment. Continue reading Late Capitalist Signals in the Void
Volume XXVIII – January 2024
I remember the sky was clear and the sun was warm on my back. I was maybe 5 years old. My family had recently moved to a house with a swimming pool. It had one of those slides that does a half-twist and spits you out into the middle, between the deep and shallow ends. Continue reading Volume XXVIII – January 2024
Fishtown Stories – Sam Scott
