    Today is April 7th, 2026, the day all humans stop being born, aging, and dying in the short story on the human condition 17776. I hope y'all enjoy it as much as I do!

    I love 17776, or "football Homestuck" as the Tumblr folks have begun to call it. I reread it every Superbowl and the beginning gets me every time.

      That beginning is one of the best uses of the digital medium for storytelling that I've seen. Hooked me immediately on a story I may not have looked twice at if I knew what it was about.

    One of my favorite parts of the Internet. I'm not even a sportsball person (more of a sports-tire person), but I'll read/watch anything by John Bois. His stuff is interesting from a digital media...
