Looking for recommendations for short fiction, 1 - 3 hours of reading. I like sci fi but if you think something else is worth an hour or two I'd like to hear about it.

Every goddamn morning I wake up to check if he's dead yet and instead I have to imagine a Death of Stalin thing is happening to get enough energy to get dressed. Today Steve Buscemi is playing Marco Rubio.

While tech companies say that AI can replace your doctor, lawyer and priest, not a single one of them has made a peep about using AI to solve the air traffic control crisis.

Having lunch sitting behind a table of Houston Petroleum Wives types and they're pretty sure Trump is on the side of the angels re: the Epstein Files. But... they're still talking about the Epstein Files two weeks after Trump declared it to be a hoax

I 100% believe that Trump didn't write the Epstein birthday letter as the WSJ described it. Gross yes, but too witty for him. I 200% believe that when he heard they were collecting letters to be leather bound in a book for his benefactor he hired a professional to write it and signed it himself.

Been trying to get through "Mall Is Lost" by Holly Raymond for the last couple of nights but maybe I just don't have it in me to process poetry. Although I really like the first verse in Act I iii "Low-Energy Goblin Chorus, w/ Perfunctory Effort"

You know that Twilight Zone episode where the kid has amazing psychic powers and can make people disappear with his mind and the entire town is hostage to him and has to cater to his every whim? That’s us right now.
