In 2024, a felon could be voted president and the power grid is overloaded by computers using artificial intelligence to make pictures of Jesus made of shrimp. Stay in school, kids, the future's so bright I gotta wear shades.

Finally a use for sister cities beyond a footnote on town signage. Karachi and Houston, TX- bound together by fate to save the world.

I'm done with news and instead I'm channeling all my energy into Garfield. No longer argue about politics but have many hard opinions about lasagna and Mondays.

UK has a lot going for it, here the election only lasts a couple of months and it's also full of idiots but we have lots more flavors of Pringles.

I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, and wondering at what time it's socially acceptable for me to rip into dis bag of flaming hot Doritos.

I never activated Siri and have eternally walked around with my iphone yelling at me for having not completed setup. Oh, but I have. I have not completed setup even harder seeing this.

The John Mulaney live show thing on Netflix is such a fever dream and then Warren G comes out and there's people doing a little skit with Regulators and I think there must be arsenic or summin in my wallpaper because I am tripping balls.

Algorithms are funny things. Facebook thinks I'm a nostalgic invalid, Instagram thinks I'm a fitness freak, and Twitter thinks I'm a moron.

Nerd Productivity tip- I start every writing session now with the 'Boot Up' noise from the OST of Hypnospace Outlaw and I've gotten a quarter of the book edited in three weeks.

I can't understand all these super rich people doing evil things when the Amalfi Coast is right there and you could actually afford to lounge around there eating seafood all day not being evil.

Totally. Every scene has that wobbly feeling from a movie where a steadicam is pointed at a character's face and they are careening to or from something terrible.

I cannot stop playing Supermarket Simulator, an endless loop of restocking and aspiration. All the fun I remember of working at the grocery store when I was 16, without the stress of getting blamed for stealing $200 from the till when I know it was the manager. I saw you, Diane.

My husband got a 3D printer but with the sounds coming from his office I like to think he's becoming the best damn DJ ever and he's gonna save the teen rec center with his scratching skills.

Hear me out, can the new Ghostbusters please find a way to bring in Kate McKinnon? I need more Holtzmann in my life and I'm sure she could make a universe bender out of a Nutri-bullet.

For being a very pretty movie that I didn't find to be particularly good, I've thought about the ending of Saltburn like every day.

In Sweden it's called Oxveckor, the time of year where you put your head down like an ox and trod through the field with no joy in sight to sway from your prescribed drudgery. But then a very old lady feeds a bird.

I popped back in just to see if people were talking about the reboot of Gladiators, so that's where I'm at emotionally.

Pineapples being a strong decorative motif both in South Carolina and amongst swinger couples has to lead to some kind of shenanigan at some point.

Frankenstein could never get published today, they'd be like Mary, girl, this starts with thirty pages of letters to a man's sister where nothing happens, you gotta punch the reader in the face in the first 10 with a decapitation or something.

Lock these people in a room with the people who muse "Baby, It's Cold Outside" is actually kind of creepy when you think about it.

My sci-fi microfiction that had to include "getting a dental implant" and "a bathtub" didn't win the contest, but I like it so maybe you will, too. They said it was too absurd but maybe they're just not absurd enough. www.shelleycollum.com/micro #writers #authors

I love The Curse but you gotta do something else while watching it because otherwise you take all the cringe head-on and no one can withstand that without collapsing into a singularity of second-hand embarrassment.

I have always held firm with no Christmas until after Thanksgiving but since leaving the US, my resolve is weakening. Am I a traitor to my homeland if I just give in to the mince pies and fa la la las that already surround me in jolly old england?

Are you in the mood for a book about cryptocurrency? Try Number Go Up by Zeke Faux. V entertaining. It's like I spent two years watching a bunch of people trying to ride a horse, and they're all like "check out this great unicorn" and I'm so grateful for confirmation it was indeed a damn horse. 📚💙
