Mel Brooks just busted a nut. Blazing Saddles has nothing on Trishton of Cornhole!

This was way too perfect! Bravo. Chris Bray has some pretty stiff competition with this masterful take on Clown World.

Mark, if Jordon is a physician (and there is no reason to think that he is not) he is, as you write, unemployable in corporate medicine though he might get a gig as an expert witness in compensation cases involving under-represented minorities.

His unemployability in mainstream industry is their loss: Jordon's lack of integrity, dignity and shamelessness would be an asset in any managerial position.

If private industry fails to give him his due, there is always government work. Prison doctor. Public health official in the right jurisdiction (Portland, San Francisco, Chicago). He is still qualified for a commission and there is always a need for physicians in the Armed Forces. If Rachel Levine can make it to admiral there is no reason to believe that Jordon could not apply his skills to administer vaccinations etc. We might yet see him become Surgeon-General one day...especially if there is ever a Buttigieg Administration. And with his personal experience of victimisation at the hands of domestic extremists, Jordon could be very useful in homeland security.

Or he might find God, rehabilitate himself with good works like counselling children and teens born in the wrong bodies.

If desperate there is always academia...there is a demand for medical ethicists, especially those who can provide intersectional expertise.

This is a ball-breaking work of chucklesome genius.

So many gems, I particularly liked “cabal news”❗️❗️

This was so, so good. Ruthless mockery at its finest, so funny it actually adds to the brutal slapstick Veritas captured on video.

Immediately reaching for "I was lying to impress a date" has to have been one of the most sociopathically revealing statements to ever come out of one of these vapid little strivers' mouths. Like, is that a normal thing in your world, Trishton? You do that a lot? Sort of like, lying is second nature? No wonder you were so successful, bro.

The part where he jumped in front of the wrong moving car to try and prevent the crew from escaping was truly a worthy climax. Larry David could not have written the scene better.

Careful here, games within games within games.

I don't believe this is real. Mostly because of how little of an internet footprint this person has. But also, because of how seriously big pharma takes nondisclosure. There is no way that a person can get to director level (a mid-level managerial position) without being fully aware of the consequences of disclosure, no matter how drunk and/or horny he may be. No, seriously, this is not credible, even though it seems to confirm our deeply held suspicions.

Hilarious essay.

Taylor Lorenz's dad (or uncle) is the founder/owner of the Wayback Machine, but I'm guessing you know that. This info is for those who didn't. Apparently Mr Lorenz is also a pipe-smoker (cough, cough) who utilizes the grindr pathways. And if he isn't, then his line of connections is deeper (cough, cough) than even I could imagine. Either way, puffta v puffta is a future supreme shaft case if I've ever seen one! cough, cough!

I don't understand why "I'm literally a liar" has not become the next "let's go Brandon". It really captures the zeitgeist of 2023.

Mark, your article is far more entertaining than the multi-layered but typically plot-hole-ridden, continuity-botched Hollywood-style mini-movie itself! Your writing is so good and fun to read that I wonder if I should even bother doing my own analysis, evaluation, and interpretation of [cue trumpets]:

"Blinded by the Light, A Woke Ballet"

— A Clown World Production, in conjunction with:

Black Lives Matter

Media STILL Matters, waaaaa😢🥺 and

The Wayward Wizards Foundation

Brought to you by [cue hypnotic synth music]:

CIA, CDC, FDA, FBI, Big Pharma, Anthony "I am science™℗©®" Fauci, the ghost of Edward Bernays, and the un-en-souled entity known as Klaus Schwab. (Also there were some people and organizations who wanted, for *some reason,* to continue as "silent supporters.")

***NOTE: The patent owners of that good clean fun "Cornhole" game called, and they would like you to change the article title. Their general counsel suggests "Trishdren of the Corn" as a suitable replacement. (I think it works pretty well based on your points, but also I don't think they're going to take legal action because they, too, really enjoyed your work here.)
