1st review ($) up for @cothren_alex's debut: "Each story is simultaneously unhinged & hits close to home in our era of climate change, precarious employment, AI & Trump. The tone is sarcastic & deadpan – if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry"

@CardRocker0007 @RpsAgainstTrump A thought just struck me. It will be July soon. Where do US fireworks come from? Looking at the table of US firework consumption, US used 273.6 million pounds in 2023. That is 124.1 million Kg. US imported 120.5 million Kg that year, 117.8 million from China. Happy 4th July!
