Latest read: “Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me” by Django Wexler, the sequel to “How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying”

I love this series, it’s both hilarious and heartfelt ⭐️

My only complaint is I felt it ended a bit abruptly but that could be just because I wanted more!

Is anyone really that shocked to learn that NRA members didn’t really believe that “stand up to tyranny” stuff?

And that the organization mainly exists to taunt victimized families and communities after mass shootings?
