Trump Officials Clarify What Constitutes an Act of Domestic Terrorism
Senior Trump Administration officials held a press conference today to clarify what the Trump Administration now considers “an act of domestic terrorism.” Most Americans have nothing to worry about – just so long as they voted for Trump in the last election – or invested heavily in Trump’s crypto coin, that is.
My New Year’s Resolutions – According to AI
I have always struggled coming up with meaningful, achievable goals for the new year. I usually set the bar way too high and end up bailing on my resolutions – but in my defense, rarely before the third week of January. So, this year, I decided to use the power of AI to help me come up with my goals. It apparently mistook me for someone who is highly motivated to get off the couch.
The Interrogation
This week I try my hand at detective fiction writing. It’s the story of a hard-nosed, chain-smoking, foul-mouthed but brilliant detective named Drake Marlboro, who is trying to crack a case involving a middle-aged suburban guy with a receding hairline who professes to write a weekly humor blog.

The Most Hated Font
As someone who pretends to be a writer (translation: I have a laptop and opinions), I take the craft seriously.

The answer may surprise you.
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PUBLISH THIS IMAGE
For my VFTB articles, I grab photos from Google Images. Over the years, between my articles and YouTube video commentaries, I’ve probably used well over 2,000 free images. For 15 years I never once received a complaint from the source of the image I used… until one day, a firm in Germany decided I had violated their copyright. And they were not about to back down.
