Ali's Dilemma 06.02.2024

Today’s story is about a product idea that I have, so I’m establishing first use, right here. I haven’t seen anything like it. I used to hear about these things people would make with paper towel cardboard rolls. They would scent paper towels with something and put them in the paper towel thing and then when they blew smoke into them it would help mask the smell. I have heard of this. Ali’s Dilemm...

The Reaper is the Sleeper 05.02.2024

I did an exercise today to perform an extrication of my subconscious. I woke up early, had no coffee, and refrained from naps. I had a half cup of coffee after dinner so that when I sat down to write at 9 PM I was approaching delirious. This is fun writing. It’s not exactly not flash fiction, but it not exactly isn’t. It’s more like flash prose, but that’s fine. I’ll allow it. I’m Herschel Sterlin...

Interview: Toliver Smythe, Retired Train Conductor 04.02.2024

Travel with me to the legendary railroad era while I interview Old Toliver Smythe. He did old timey stuff and he’s an ornery old coot. You’re welcome. This is DAY 4 of Flash Fiction February . I recently interviewed retired Train Conductor, Toliver Smythe. We recount the long lost days of train travel. Toliver can hear the train whistle from his old train line from his home. He’s lived a long and...

A Ghostly Gig 03.02.2024

I deliver this frightening freight on Flash Fiction February , day three. Aren’t you lucky? You’re welcome. On with the story (that you should listen to for best results). Frank and José have a busy Sunday ahead. They both really hustle for extra cash to make sure their families are OK. They usually rent a truck and do residential moves. It’s a pretty nice gig because there’s a rental place in the...

O.V.A.L.S. - Linear Time Re-entry Instructions 02.02.2024

This is from the OVALS Project Team. A brief review for the pilots on how to re-enter linear time after clone pairing shifts. Welcome to Day 2 of Flash Fiction February. I’m Herschel Sterling and I’m here to help. I think if I changed my name from Commercial Herschel to Controversial Herschel I’d have more attention paid to me. What do you think? That’s what I think. But they would be TV watchers...

The Lighters Lady FFF#1 01.02.2024

This is the first post of Flash Fiction February. If I have to do an old story from my decades of folders, I’ll announce that, otherwise these very short 1-2K word stories were written the day before I post them. “What’s with the lighters?” I asked Rhannia. She has thousands and thousands of old, spent, plastic cigarette lighters. They are categorized by size and then color. There are three stalls...

Randomized Order 31.01.2024

This is not a bad way to shatter a writer’s block. Just sit down and start writing whatever random thoughts happen. WHAT EVER it is. Then, you might see something in that. It can become the impetus for something new, or it may shake something loose with what you’re on now. You try it. No, you. Do you think if I changed my name to Controversial Herschel I’d get way more attention? The answer is in...

I Am a Keyword Tool 29.01.2024

I’m Hersch and this is a really short podcast to introduce you to what I do. There is a lot. It is a philosophical, theoretical and I have a lot of fun, I’m not afraid of thought experiment, and I’m having a riot cranking these out. I only use free speech outlets. Free speech is not hate speech. Censorship is hate. Being prejudiced about other people is hate. Trying to stifle free association and...

What if "Terms of Service" was FUN! 28.01.2024

Hello new followers or subscribers Adnan Hasan and Paul Edward I have had a lot of fun with building community sites and learning some essential PHP, all sorts of open source software, migrating data, SQL, and a few other database types, like CRM’s and whatnot. There are differences between servers, sometimes a static type service is fine, and sometimes you want a media server. When I was understa...

What Does Your Light Eat? 26.01.2024

Brave summarizer is very good. Brave has the best privacy. Get Brave browser. https://search.brave.com/search?q=do+humans+emit+light&source=web In 2009, a team of Japanese researchers led by Masaki Kobayashi from the Tohoku Institute of Technology discovered that the human body emits visible light in small quantities that vary during the day.0 The amount of light emitted follows a 24-hour cycle, a...

Proximal Illusions in Economics 25.01.2024

Over the years of corporatism there has been a loss in the sense of value for proximal trade relationships, value exchange, or whatever you want to call business. The devaluing of service and community in exchange for a speedy personal experience creates cavernous social and economic gaps in the immediate proximity. Can the way we look at things have an exponentially negative effect due to a narra...

The Apocalypse or the Veil? 23.01.2024

Today I am having fun with the words “veil” as in the rending of the veil , and what veils symbolize in both religion and science. Also, the word “Apocalypse”. I bet you might know the real meaning of the word apocalypse. If you do, then you know why the words veil and apocalypse kind of belong together… or apart, in this day and age. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/apocalypse this is how you say i...

Do We Know What We Don't Want? 20.01.2024

I’m not a lawyer and I don’t give advice, I’m simply correct in my position. Knowing what we don’t want is more important than knowing what we do want. If you don’t agree I’m going to make you write up a list. Hard Lens Media you are welcome for mentioning you in my post last time so that you would be immediately freed from BlewitTube Jail. It’s all about who ya know. LOL. This is a public episode...

Crazy Satanic Hillbillies 17.01.2024

First, I like my colorful banner Stories about crazy satanic hillbillies are popular in American lore. There are a lot of reasons for this. Mostly it’s just fascination. That’s my guess. Then, there’s the thing of how so many people believe everything that vibrates in the atmosphere and lands in their ears. As much as these crazy satanic weirdos I had the unfortunate opportunity to know for a whil...

An Autodidact Explains a Thing 16.01.2024

Do We Observe or Project? 15.01.2024

What do we see when we see what we see? 5eeing is connected to objects. 0ne thing is connected to another thing. The visage we engage en9a9es us. Many people see a story when they see a human walking down a street. Some people take advantage of that human trait with ill intent. This is referenced in the episode. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get...

Art v. Content Creation 14.01.2024

Audio and Transcript Only I revisit some thinking about content creating and art and what the differences are. I had a breakthrough during this podcast where I think I have defined/ identified my target audience. * People who are not stimulation oriented but more intellectually oriented. * People more emotionally developed than what Social Media allows. Mentions: Indie Mike Hampton Below is the li...

How Great is it that Awful People Hate You? 12.01.2024

INTRO: Which personality types depend on bad information? Which types repeat it? Who are the strong ones? Who is the fodder? Who are the real paranoids? Where is the pathology? If you think Free Speech is a right wing thing, or that it’s hate speech, you’re in Group B. This is a public episode.

I Found A Time Traveler's Crazy Notes: EXPONENTIAL CIRCUITS 11.01.2024

I stayed at a boarding house for weird traveling artists like me. I found some notes in the room where I stayed. When I brought them to the proprietor she became mildly irate and told me a wild story about the guy who left the notes in the room. This dude has been around. Some pics to prove it are below. See. I told you. Smell the Inside of Your Nose. Do it Right Now. I’m Commercial Herschel and I...

Objective Vantage Astronomical Laboratory Systems 09.01.2024

In 2004, off the Southern California coast, David Fravor, a retired Navy pilot, reported the detection of "multiple anomalous aerial vehicles" by advanced radar. According to Fravor, these vehicles descended 80,000 feet in less than a second. Since then, we’ve learned a lot. One species future, is another species history.

Monday Friday Feedback Show #2 or 3 Whatever 08.01.2024

Ulysses gets a mention today because I forgot to mention him in last weeks show. Thing is if Stackers leave me a comment I will mention them. This week a dude on Bitchute named Odin’s Left Eye commented on my show about the 4th dimension. I have all these legendary godlike characters listening to my show. Odin likes that I’m not scared to get out of the box. I’m not scared Odin. Believe it baby. A...

The Frequency of the Little People 06.01.2024

Here’s the link to the short story I read in this podcast . Some more fun talk about frequencies. Mostly, it’s about memory. What’s the deal with our tenuous memories? Remember how you remembered things? We were in tune with so much more when we were children. Can we remember to remember? OK I’m Commercial Herschel and I’m here to help. blah blah blah. If you search for my podcast name you’ll find...

What Kind of Time is It? 05.01.2024

INTRODUCTION Time is wild. In the physical sense, time is altered the further away from our planet we go. There are so many theories and revelations that time is an actual structure. As if time is the very structure of space. I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the way we organize our time here. I’m giving you a great Brave Summarizer link. It describes the 13 month moon calendar . (Brav...

How's the 4th Dimension? 04.01.2024

It's hard to explain a place we've never been. We can describe it as best we can. We actually do have an example in nature, or at least an illustrative resource regarding such. This is a fun one, if I do say so myself. OK. I'm Commercial Herschel , and I'm here to help. You can find me in all podcast realms, and at KUAP Digital Broadcasting, Troubled Minds Radio . This is a public episode. If you'...

How do You Attract Thinking Self-Leaders? 03.01.2024

There are people who need to follow, and there are people who need followers. How much does that really have to do with leadership? People who lead usually need other people who can lead. They need leaders who know when it’s the right time to step-up and when it’s the right time to play the support role . A true leader knows how to support. There is a reason Hyenas stay the f* away from Lions but...
