This Week's Writing 3/22/24

Tom Cruise, scams, some surreal poetry, and more!

Eustacia, staring at the week that was. Here’s what I published:

Politics

Trump is broke. That’s bad news for the GOP. (Public Notice)

Bad polls aren’t bad for Biden. (EIH)

On getting scammed. (EIH)

Cultural Criticism

The best Tom Cruise film is the one where Tom Cruise keeps dying. (Splice Today)

The Chicago Horror Film Festival is…alive! (Chicago Reader)

The feral fake horror of Evil Dead. (EIH)

Poetry

Short surreal poem. (Five Fleas)

what I need now is
to be stabbed through the eye
filled with granite and stupid
autumn

And another of those. (Five Fleas)

Dead in the thermos again.
Dry truths slip right out of your head…
I need a better pitcher
and more glue.
