#trump is just posting videos of #warcrimes on his truth social page now.

He posted some drone footage showing a group of people in a circle, calling them #houthis planning an attack - in a very sarcastic and cruel tone I may add - that then got blown up, killing about 20-30 people.

Turns out it was actually a Yemini religious gathering: those people were innocent.

Our president ACTUALLY DID THAT.

We don't need #satire anymore guys. Our president is a comic book villain.

Dateline Washington —Saying that Americans should anticipate certain #lifestyle changes as a result of his newly announced #tariffs, President Donald #Trump informed the nation Thursday that they better start liking little canned wieners.

“Hope you aren’t too attached to whatever fancy crap you eat now, because those little wiener dogs in the cans are coming back on the menu in a big way,”

I've finished: The Simoqin Prophecies by Samit Basu

Self-aware and breaking the fourth wall, The Simoqin Prophecies makes fun of classic tropes from myth, fairy tale and fantasy. But it is not trying to be funny, it is deadly serious about its own high fantasy world.

While it is not perfect in all it's choices, as an experienced fantasy reader I enjoyed the references to classic tropes and their deconstruction. Satire can be better when it's not trying too hard to make you laugh.

I'm glad I found it through a Story Graph reading challenge prompt. Sometimes you find a book that was written for you 20 years after it was published and wonder where it's been all these years.

I love reading challenges with prompts that specify a type of book and let you choose the book you'll read for that prompt. You can also use these prompts to find novels other members think fit a prompt you like. I found The Simoqin Prophecies in the Speculative fiction genres challenge, under the prompt for Comic Speculative Fiction.
