I've reread: In the Company of Ogres by A. Lee Martinez

In the Company of Ogres takes some strange twists and turns. Every time I thought I knew which kind of story this is it took a twist and turned into something else.

We start with Demonic Accountants running the place, continue with a black sheep last chance Cinderella story move to a bit too much teenage love triangle and end up with cosmic forces at work.

But the best thing about Martinez is that he is funny, and Ogres is first and foremost a satire of fantasy tropes. My favorite moment was a game of Real D&D played by Ogres, goblins, orcs, and so on... playing as other D&D character types.

And how can you not love a story about a character called: Never Dead Ned.

Sadly fore some reason this is the only A. Lee Martinez novel not available as an audobook.

I am just hamming up the #satire today.

There was a trending topic on #scoopz about 3 things you can't live without.

Most people were lighthearted or joking.

I went full #politics mode and took another stab at #maga and #trump.

Now I wait for the hate comments to flow in for another video later about how stupid they make themselves look.

These people are incredibly easy to bait.

Attention citizens:

The concepts of "Human RIghts" and "Justice" are now considered seditious thoughtcrime.

Citizens found harboring such thoughts will be designated unpeople, and disappeared.

Thank you for your compliance.

I’m a little confused.

At first I thought Mardi Gras was the Christian Purim.

Then I thought Yom Saint Patrick Ha’Kadosh was the Christian Purim.

So which #holiday is ACTUALLY the Christian Purim?

When people are scientifically illiterate, they lack the experience, the knowledge, the information, the understanding, to understand that they live on a Planet. Because the planet is massive, because from any individuals point of view, the planet's curve can't be seen, "flat Earthers" base their beliefs on what they can see, plus, typically, online "flat Earther" misinfor
