Wonder how many Republicans (or Democrats for that matter) bought stock in oil companies before the US brought "Freedom" to #Venezuela?

Tweet by Musa @musa_gwebani Capitalism dupes us into thinking there is a direct relationship between hard work and wealth. So you grind, #team3am and get sick from thinking rest is idleness and you punish yourself for "unproductivity". When the world's wealthiest people actually do not work at all.

The pyramid of capitalist systems. Rulers on top, religion underneath, then the arm. Below are the wealthy, and holding it all up are the people.

Such a fun read! Tilford takes your favorite fantasy tropes and turns them on their heads with hilarious results...

...If Douglas Adams had turned his sights on Fantasy instead of Sci-Fi, this book would have been the result. Highly recommend!

Such a fun read! Tilford takes your favorite fantasy tropes and turns them on their heads with hilarious results. The story teems with interesting re-imaginings of familiar fantasy creatures and the exact type of meta-humor about genre and story structure that this reader eats up with a spoon. If Douglas Adams had turned his sights on Fantasy instead of Sci-Fi, this book would have been the result. Highly recommend!

Looking for book recommendations. Something upbeat. Growing tired of dystopian, hopelessness.

🤠 Indie Authors / Books only.
🌌 Preferably SciFi.
🤡 Wackier the Characters the better.
☁️ Bonus points if the author is on BlueSky.

Last read of 2025 was Death of a Billionaire by @tuckermaymysteries.bsky.social Mystery isn't my usual genre, but I really enjoyed this fun ride. Tucker added enough twists, turns, and fake-outs, to keep me guessing until the very end.

...Who would have thought that a book involving space llamas could be the most relatable story since Office Space?

Into the Gigaverse is so funny you’ll laugh until you cry, and is one of the top five comedies I’ve read. Also, there’s a cat.

Buckle up for a cosmic roller-coaster through corporate existentialism and Douglas Adam’s style humor.
