Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This week we are pleased to highlight Tom Ziemer and his short fiction story "Take Me Through the Finish." This piece about a single dad and his neurodivergent son captured the hearts of our editorial team and is available now in Issue #20. thegoodlifereview.com/issue-twenty...

Happy to have this one out in the world with a fun pub!

Today we’re pleased to bring you a new story by Tom Ziemer: a story about a shaggy dog of a man, that’s not quite long enough to be a shaggy dog of a story. A little slice of life to hopefully make you smile.

"If you say one thing is another thing and you say it enough times, then it must be so, and if you keep saying it over and over people accept it as true — this is an old idea, of course, it really is nothing new, but you're watching it happen in your own time and not in a book." "Prophet Song"

Three guarantees for anytime my dad watches Field of Dreams: 1. He complains that Ray Liotta bats and throws from the opposite sides that the real Shoeless Joe did. 2. He bemoans Costner and James Earl Jones leaving the Red Sox game early. 3. He gets choked up when Costner plays catch with his dad.

This week we are excited to put a spotlight on Jim Parisi and the story that won this year's Honeybee Prize in Flash Fiction! The story, judge's endorsement, plus audio of @jpariseye.bsky.social reading his work are available in Issue #20. thegoodlifereview.com/issue-twenty... Photo by Mark Duffel

It takes real skill (and life insights) to make a youth softball lineup into a heartfelt yet amusing story. Take a few minutes out of your day to read @jpariseye.bsky.social's piece in @goodlifelitmag.bsky.social. thegoodlifereview.com/issue-twenty...

I'm pretty excited to have this one out in the world as part of @goodlifelitmag.bsky.social's summer issue. Lots of rejections before this piece found its home. Thanks to my own Kirby for his inspiration. And support indie wrestling! #wrestlesky thegoodlifereview.com/issue-twenty...

Welcome to the sweltering heart of summer. Today we are excited to celebrate one of our most glorious collections to date! Issue #20 ~ Summer 2025 includes the winners of our annual Honeybee Prize and other select finalists... thegoodlifereview.com/2025/07/15/i... Cover art: “Zephyr” by Mary Amato

Congrats to all of The Good Life Review's HoneyBee Prize winners, including @jpariseye.bsky.social! I'm happy to get an editor's choice pick that will run in the summer issue thegoodlifereview.com/2025/07/08/2...

For #Mainz05 fans on here, Japanese midfielder Sota Kawasaki appears to be incoming. Kyoto Sanga announced that he'll be leaving the club tomorrow to complete an overseas transfer. Seemed to come up as a 6, but he's moved further forward in the midfield and has four goals this season. #Bundesliga

Hell yeah, Brody King! Proceeds donated to Local Hearts Foundation. edgemenstore.com/products/bro...

Hey hey, I'm pumped to have a piece among the finalists for The Good Life Review's 2025 HoneyBee Prize in short fiction. (Spoiler: It involves pro wrestling.) Good luck to all the finalists across genres! thegoodlifereview.com/2025/05/27/2...

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125. The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN. This is trickle down economics on steroids.

Immigrants aren't stealing your jobs. CEOs are stealing your jobs.

Anyone on #wrestlesky who can tell me when #AEW Dynamite episodes go up for on-demand viewing on MAX? Had to miss it live this week and still not seeing it available, which strikes me as ... odd?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Laurie Bell is the only person to have played for both BK Forward and and Forward Madison. Check with @madisonsoccer.bsky.social to confirm though.

My @talkingfussball.bsky.social podcast debut! Had a fun time talking with my pal Matt about Mainz's rise this season. #M05 #Mainz05 podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/m...

🙌 Thrilled to see Thimphu City land such an up-and-coming coach. Shadab Iftikhar joins from Wigan! thimphucityfc.com/2025/03/brin...

The penalty, whatever. But what a consistently, laughably bad refereeing performance by Andy Madley. Botched call after botched call.

FT. GET IN! Beto and Alcaraz goals give us a big away win as we go five unbeaten in the league. Up The Toffees! ✊

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

The legendary Hubie Brown puts on the headset for the final time.

I read this on dark days for a little solace.

I'm proud to see Thimphu City FC add its name to the signatories of Sports for Nature. Saving the white-bellied heron one goal at a time! sportsfornature.org/news/footbal...

I know he's busy teaming with Dustin at the moment, but how about pairing Sammy with Ricochet in a faction of cocky assholes? Maybe toss Lio Rush in, too #AEW

Show me a bigger current star in wrestling than Swerve #AEW #wrestlesky

Another #FlashFiction piece inspired by my love of #ProWrestling, this one over at Revolution John. Featuring a bar from my hometown, impending fatherhood, and a dipshit who's trying to do better. #writing #WritingCommunity revolutionjohnjournal.wordpress.com/2024/09/19/s...

I've got two #prowrestling flash fiction pieces on BULL. Let me introduce you to a piece-of-shit retread who goes by the "Flying Squirrel" and JT, a muscle-bound hopeful stomping his way around Green Bay. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #wrestlesky mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...
