First Job
by Adam S. Furman
Today’s the first day of my career.
I drop my equipment and scramble to set up. It’s hard, finding a paying job. Damn near impossible with AI taking everything from trade and manufacturing to finance and retail. Traditional entertainment is all but repetitive. Stories and music have all been done ad nauseam.
Few jobs can earn you a living wage in this competitive market of robots and automatons. Thank God for the Internet and streaming. I set up my tripod and hop onto my bed. I unzip my pants and remove my clothes.
Today’s the first day of my career.

Protected Class
by Adam S. Furman
To the citizens and subjects of the Interplanetary Commonwealth:
Because of the abundance of knowledge about the human mind and great strides made in the understandings thereof, the Ministry of Offense has decided to update its Offense Code. It does hereby recognize individuals identified as IQ-fluid as a protected class. Any discrimination or harassment of an individual that displays any so-called insufficient knowledge, including but not limited to grammar, spelling, or comprehension, will be met with the same punishment as petty theft under £500.
This decree is effective at the moment your transmission is received.
Regards,
Minster of a Fence
