For those future readers of my unfinished novel, I want you to know that I wrote the chapters about the CEO using an AI avatar before this happened. I can't keep up with how absurd the present is, much less stay ahead of how stupid it will become. Such is the recent future.

This will gross some people out, but one thing I love about cast iron is the residue of flavors. I like when my eggs taste like yesterday's broccoli and soy sauce or BBQ chicken. I don't know if it's safe and I don't care. Okay, keep scrolling, there's plenty of doom to consume.
