A thousand bucks for bits of uncooked fish? Don’t come the raw prawn with me - I can go to the supermarket and buy raw fish for $20 - think of the savings!

The UK is holding local elections this coming week. Seen pinned to tree, a note to voters who supported the current national government. A recycling of early UK COVID advice.

There is a phrase that describes this phenomenon: "Pretentious Sh*t" But is there a single word? I am in desperate need of one. I seem to dwell in a cross between The Twilight Zone and other contemporary sci-fi films where things are a sham semblance of something useful.
ETA Pretendware seems to be a term used for play or toy versions of things. I will borrow that.

Just read in the obituary of Mr Vlasic ( of the HUGE pickle company ) that he liked jokes... and his favorite was " why did the pickle blush? because he saw the salad dressing" I will make it a point to always buy Vlasic pickles !

brazen money grab "CavanKerry Press is a committed member of the writing community. To better meet the financial needs of our fellow writers, we revised our submission fees in 2020 to offer a "Pay what you can" structure, with $10, $18, and $25 options. This change is an effort to further our ongoing mission as an inclusive publisher to authors of all socioeconomic backgrounds and in no way impacts consideration of individual manuscripts. If you need additional financial assistance, please email Gabriel Cleveland, Managing Editor, as we are able to accommodate a limited number of free submissions for writers-in-need on a first-come, first-served basis.
All submissions should be made through Submittable. The $25-level submission fee also includes a choice of one of CavanKerry’s books from the list provided below. Book mailings will begin in September."
