An Interview With Steven McKnight

This week, I was lucky enough to snag an interview with the one and only Steven McKnight. Below is our conversation:

Me: Who was the 4th president of the United States?

Steven McKnight: The 4th president who mattered was Donald J. Duck.

Me: Why is the sky blue?

SM: Because it has daddy issues.

Me: What's my middle name?

SM: Your middle name is Reginald. My middle name is Reginald. Everyone's middle name should be Reginald. All hail Reginald.

Me: What is it about the dark that makes me so afraid?

SM: It's black. You're secretly racist.

Me: Why?

SM: Your parents got frisky one day.

Me: Really, why?

SM: Well, you see, when a man loved a woman very much-

Me: For the love of God, why!?!

SM: I don't know! I'm sorry! Calm down, man!

Me: Have you ever watched a man die?

SM: I watched your face as I made a pun. Does that count?

Me: Have I ever watched a man die?

SM: I always thought you were the sort to be on the receiving end of that.

Me: What is the quadratic formula?

SM: Same as the Krabby Patty secret formula. There really isn’t much of a difference, just one is fried by a piece of shit with an annoying laugh.

Me: Who was the most effective Roman emperor?

SM: Why, Nolan Nightingale, you were.

Me: When Bruce Banner turns into the Hulk, does his shit also grow in size? Otherwise, his human shit would just slide out of his Hulk-sized anus?

SM: According to the esteemed Paige Bowmaster TM, the shit itself is not a part of Bruce Banner's body. That being said, it would not become Hulk-shit. Instead, it will sit there in the bowels. I like to think Hulk's anus is the same size as Bruce's, but I also don't like to think about Hulk's anus more than I need to.

Me: Who are you again?

SM: Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to diet.

Me: Is this supposed to be an interview? Am I doing it right?

SM: I don't know. Is it?

A huge thank you to Steven McKnight for answering my very stupid questions. Read his interview of me on the Odyssey website.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
