McSweeney’s
Since 2011, I’ve been lucky enough to publish original humor and satire with McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, a site that helped shape my sense of what smart, strange, sharply constructed comedy can do. The work ranges from political absurdism and pop-culture sabotage to literary parody and historical grievance, often beginning with a familiar premise before barreling somewhere unstable and ridiculous.
