Oh hey good timing! This is my brother's most recent book. Self-published. It is an urban fantasy Romance novel. He could use the inspiration of sales to finish his next novel. Link to book in next post.

I don't remember if I have this one but the others in this series have been a fun read. #TTRPG reposted to add alt text. Someone has to learn how to do alt text themselves if they want to improve clicks from here.

Image is the cover of a tabletop rpg supplement Alphabet Soup: Ship Names and Traits; Captain and Crew #TTRPG by Jim Pinto who needs to learn how to use alt text.

When did Liam Neeson get cast as Han Solo? Cover of Doctor Aphra Chaos Agent #3. #starwars

This is the cover image of Star Wars: Doctor Aphra Chaos Agent #3. There are two characters posing in a white corridor. Closest to camera is Doctor Aphra black pants, red jacket, white t-shirt, black hair w goggles. Behind her is Han Solo looking very much like Liam Neeson.

A classic meme I had to share. But now the song is stuck in my head. You are welcome.

Packing lot of old school 7-11 or gas station. Lines on the pavement to define parking spots. Two large freezers side by side colored white with blue lettering saying ICE. On the right side of the image is a baby. Now the song is stuck in my head.

The Angry Old Geek@angryoldgeek· Jun 28

In these gloomy times I found this meme entertaining. Enjoy! #humor #meme #planetoftheapes

This image is done in the style of old school Hard Boiled Detective Novel Covers. There is a women with blond hair and a gold dress no shoes sitting on a white bar top. There is a man sitting behind her in a suit looking picture left, he is holding a hand gun. There are text bubbles with the woman saying: Ok... Let me get this Straight... Charlton Heston Crash Lands on a planet with a breathable atmosphere, horses, and Apes that speak English! Yet, he only realizes he's on earth when he sees the statue of Liberty?!?
The man says: DAMN, Dirty Apes!
The woman continues: HE's an Astronaut! Shouldn't he have noticed the MOON?!?

To be clear Trump is violating this law.

The text of American Law 18 U.S.C. 1385 concerning the use of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force. (summarized by me) That military can not deploy inside America without Congressional Approval.

Pulling my old Dragon Magazines out to sell on eBay and found this classic #phillfolio cover art. Such a classic. #dragonmagazine #TSR #TTRPG

The Cover of Dragon Magazine #56 from 1981. The background is a shade of pink/purple. The cover art looks like a photo, blue sky background, two humans huddling behind and to the left of a "dragon" snowman. The snowman is a chunky dragon with the right half missing and on the ground is a small burning piece of grass. Further right is a small purple dragon a little sheepish sorry for melting part of the snow dragon.

Text: I have never related so much to a cartoon in my life. Below that is a black ink cartoon (B&W). On the left is a group of cartoon humans staring at a door. One of the humans is holding a long broom that they are using to open the door. On the door is written the numbers 2025.

How does someone as Famous as #ElonMusk only have 21 friends???? Because it is a fake account. I lol'd at a post and now I have so many fake accounts wanting to be my friend / give me money. But it must hurt Elon Musk's feelings to know that even fake him has so few friends. lol

Screenshot of a fake Elon Musk Account with 21 friends. The thumbnail is the X of twitter and the white text on black says Elon Musk 21 friends.

I am dying laughing watching the immoral shits start to go after each other. #jdvance #scaramucci

A post by Anthony Scaramucci:
I just want to personally thank JDVance for knocking me out of the position of the worst Donald Trump hire. I don't think it would happen but here we are and I am grateful.

Posting this picture for future reference when I start talking about proper care of cattle & other farm animals. During summer vacations I would spend a few weeks visiting my Grandparents. That is Earthquakes Pride. I do know something about caring for large animals. #limousincattle #cattle

In this photo, blue skies. A grass covered pasture with most of the grass tamped down. In the foreground is a 3ton Limousin Bull with reddish brown skin. The bull is sticking out its dark purple tongue stuck out trying to lick my hand of any remaining alfalfa pellet dust. I’m a white guy wearing Levis – white t-shirt and a red and white ball cap. I am tiny beside the bull. In the background is a small open air hay barn and trees.
