Does your town or city have a large, colourful sign of the town's name that you can take photos next to?

I think every place I've visited across three LatAm countries seemed to have this, even the smallest towns and villages. Curious to know if this is as ubiquitous as it seems!

Creepy little stories like "It's a good life"?

I don't usually read horror or sci-fi but The Simpsons led me to Jerome Bixby's It's a Good Life which I found quite engaging and a good way to spend a train journey when I couldn't be bothered to read the longer novel I'm on at the moment.

Does anyone have any recommendations for shorter stories like this which are unsettling/creepy but not too focused on being overtly shocking or violent? I know "Stephen King" is probably the default response here but I think I've only read one of his short stories too so welcome any input.

Also would enjoy any comments on the Bixby story itself if anyone has read or wants to read.

The story, for reference: https://graemearkell.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/4/8/38485229/its_a_good_life.pdf

I am sad to report Italian public transport has also been infected with people playing videos on loudspeaker

It has been literally unavoidable in the last three days.

Is there any way back from this?

We had cupcakes for "mental health" at my very corporate job the other day

I said I hoped they put sertraline in the cake batter

A girl looked a bit taken aback but laughed and said I had reminded her to take her meds

Did I let too much of myself into that conversation? is an HR meeting imminent?
