Summary

MuddyUm is launching a monthly series called "Top 3 + 1" featuring the funniest posts of the month, alongside a bonus humor piece from the Medium universe, to showcase a variety of humorous content.

Abstract

MuddyUm, a humor-focused publication, is introducing a new monthly feature called "Top 3 + 1." This series will highlight three top humorous posts from MuddyUm's own collection, plus an additional piece from elsewhere on Medium. The selection process is challenging, as it involves choosing from a diverse range of quality content. The chosen pieces for January include "An Open Letter to Trump Supporters, From Reality" by Bleeding Heart Liberal Marine, "I’m Never Taking Off My Wearable Blanket" by Shanna Loga, and "Dogs Assign Different Meanings to Words and Then Train Us" by Brenda Mahler. The +1 bonus pick is "Daily Itinerary of a Sock Lost in your Washing Machine" by Hannah Byron from The Belladonna Comedy. This initiative aims to bring laughter and lightness to readers, with Mudditors bravely taking on the task of curating the funniest content despite the difficulties in selection.

Opinions

  • The process of selecting the top three humorous posts is described as difficult and akin to choosing a favorite child, indicating the high quality and variety of content available on MuddyUm.
  • The +1 bonus post is valued as a "super funny" story found outside of MuddyUm's usual content, suggesting an appreciation for humor across the broader Medium platform.
  • The Mudditors are portrayed as brave for undertaking the challenging task of selecting the top humorous content each month, implying respect for their editorial judgment and dedication.
  • The announcement expresses a desire to "stir the pot" and "raise some dust," indicating an eagerness to engage readers and provoke thought through humor.
  • The initiative is framed as a way to "spread the fun" and "infect the world with laughter," reflecting a positive outlook on the impact of humor in the community.

MuddyUm Jan 2021 Top 3 + 1

Our funniest for the month and one bonus

Design by Anu Anniah

A new year has begun. At MuddyUm, we feel the urge to stir the pot, raise some dust, er, you get the drift.

Starting this month, we will be releasing a list of Top 3 + 1 posts each month. The series will feature 3 of MuddyUm’s funniest for the month gone by. You have to appreciate that this is no easy choice. MuddyUm is chock-full of such variety that picking the top 3 is like trying to pick your favorite kids.

Should we pick curated babies? Or the ones with the most claps? Or maybe the ones with the most reads? Hold on, what about that one that didn’t get enough eyeballs but had me in tears of laughter while I read through?

Do you see how nerve-wracking all this is? In spite of the insurmountable challenges ahead, the brave Mudditors of the MuddyUm ship have chosen to embark on this journey!

Without further ado, here are the top 3 picks from our January cupboard.
