Weird post.
His tweets remind me of Jack Handey, though:
"I think a good novel would be where a bunch of men on a ship are looking for a whale. They look and look, but you know what? They never find him. And you know why they never find him? It doesn't say. The book leaves it up to you, the reader, to decide. Then, at the very end, there's a page that you can lick that tastes like Kool-Aid." - JH

Yeah, I thought the Night Vale vibe was pretty clear from the beginning. Not quite the same, but in the style of that friendly desert community's newscasts.

My guess:
Too Stupid; DidN't Read
...a useful abbreviation I've been feeling a need for, more and more often in the blue these days..

Desert town? I-191? Must be quite a long spur line to come from New England...

It's 2043; New England IS a desert by then (what parts aren't now part of the Atlantic Ocean).
