    As a born and bred 20th century kind of guy, Jonny Bolduc's "Doomscrolling" was something that I could definitely relate to. Yes, I've been in those situations in which cellphones and social media have given me a demonic-sized headache!!! . . . What am I saying? I still get those demonic-sized headaches! Nice work, Jonny! This is definitely a piece for our time!

    This scathing satire of the addiction to social media is gripping, demonic fun. Asmodeus perfectly expresses the jealousy, self-doubt and anger that doom-scrolling can inspire. The introduction of Cellphone takes things to another level of hilarity. This is a resonant and riotous trip.

    This is delightfully and terrifyingly relatable and evil! It starts as a monologue with familiar, though demonic themes and goes into an in person social media style argument! Do not scroll by this piece!
