Greg Stolze
Metafictive anti-realist, apparently. 1/3 of LUDONARRATIVE DISSIDENTS. You can get a ton of free fiction I got paid to write from www.gregstolze.com — no tricks, no traps, some tropes.
A bad banana with a greasy black peel.
- When Zach Weinersmith goes beast mode.
- Still going thru the archive, this may be my favorite ending to a comic www.smbc-comics.com/comic/the-li...
- The Goh-Feinberg Theory suggests a parallel between individual modes of human happiness and phases of technological development. (The Goh-Feinberg Theory is entirely fictional. I made it up for the short story SNOW FALLS ON NYCTROPOLIS but I feel like I might be on to something.) 🧵 1/

- * it tends
- Tow sweatshop workers must stifle their attraction as they strive to get the weekly $2 bonus fir making the most trousers. Pleated Rivalry.

- Boosting mah 🧵 for you Night People.
- Two Michael Jackson impersonators strive to get the best party assignments while hiding their seething attraction. BEAT IT Rivalry.
- *for My autocorrect has decided I am obsessed with trees.
- Folding the last load of laundry today and I found a sock, cut in half. Just in case anyone was wondering what it's like to have kids today.

View full threadBad mom!" And the Dr proceeded to regale me with horror stories of children and scissors 😂😭🤢
- A brain surgeon who was the daughter of a brain surgeon wrote about how other kids just got TOLD not to run with scissors. Her dad just showed her the X-rays.
- DAMON KEITH: I wrote "democracy dies in darkness" as a cautionary phrase. JEFF BEZOS: We finally have the technology that can make democracy die in darkness, like in judge Keith's thing about not letting democracy die in darkness. BARI WEISS: (pouts enviously)
- The answer to this is a way to transition products and industries from capitalist hotbeds of expansion and experimentation into stable, settled states that help everyone. How to convince pleasure addicts to do this is far beyond me. 19/
- In the story, it was solved by people who artificially amplified their IQ well beyond human norms. But they refused to share that bounty with the plebs. (shrugs) Well, that’s Goh-Feinberg. Maybe some real life #economist or #sociologist can tell me where it’s all wrong. 20/20
