Marlo Vino Mines His Drafts Box
Searching for gold
Marlo Vino, failed writer extraordinaire, was sniffing around his drafts box in search of gold. The viral kind. The kind that Tedium.com can’t help but launch into its galaxy of a million plus readers.
Marlo had a lot of magic in his box. Failed poems, feta crumbs, piss takes, aborted drafts, unfinished business. Surely he could make something of it. He could hear all of his (fancied) fans begging for it.
How could his fans go on living without Marlo’s next feta classic?
He knew they couldn’t. So he had to do what’s right. Give ’em what they’re all asking for.
Now Marlo knew he couldn’t be mentioning the Captain or any of the Captain’s words or policies, such as Better Data, Better Billionaires, or Better Echo Chambers.
The Algo was on to Marlo and knew immediately to shadow ban such passive-aggressive barbs from a failed writer overdue for his come-uppance.
So how could Marlo get into the Staff Pick’s good graces and butter up his Friends at Tedium in the way they liked to be buttered?
