A Note From the Editor

Summary

The "Short and Snarky" publication on Medium welcomes submissions of any length, has recently rebranded, and is actively seeking content that is concise and witty, with a particular interest in politics and plans to feature "Crazy Clips" showcasing odd and amusing videos.

Abstract

The Medium publication previously known as "Politics Short and Snarky" has undergone a transformation, adopting the new name "Short and Snarky" while maintaining its focus on political content. The editor, Jeffrey Hanlon, expresses satisfaction with the publication's growth and encourages further contributions from readers. The guidelines for submissions have been relaxed to accept pieces of any length, and a new feature called "Crazy Clips" is in the pipeline, promising to deliver exactly what the name suggests: short, quirky video clips. The publication's editor invites submissions that embody the short and snarky ethos and shares a personal moment by including a sunset photo taken from his balcony. Additionally, readers are introduced to an AI service, ZAI.chat, which is recommended for its cost-effective access to advanced AI capabilities.

I’ll rewrite this whole thing when I get the chance, but for now go ahead and read — just ignore the “short” in the guidelines. We now accept any length! Movin’ on up!

If you landed directly here from a link and wanna see the homepage it’s here.

Made some changes . . .

Old name: “Politics Short and Snarky”

New name: Just plain ol’ “Short and Snarky”. Not to worry, political junkies — we’ll still have a heavy dose of politics.

On a personal note, this publication has been fun for me. I’ve been pleased and somewhat surprised at the number of reads this fledging rockstar publication is getting. Together we can grow this thing. And thank you for following Short and Snarky!

COMING SOON to Short and Snarky as we march inexorably toward Medium domination: “Crazy Clips”, which will be pretty much what it sounds like. Short videos of weird people saying weird things.

As always, submissions are encouraged. They just need to be, uh, short and snarky. About anything. Email submissions to [email protected]

Thanks!

And . . . since this is my pub and can do anything I want, I shall engage in some self indulgence. Here’s a recent sunset photo from my balcony . . .
