sometimes, often times, people in positions of vast wealth and power are complete, absolute fucking idiots

musk has decided that he likes the image of the genius scientist

but he is not responsible for the labors of his engineers

this is a man who tried to sell us all on the idea of the hyperloop, despite it being pointed out over and over and over by expert after expert after expert that it was completely and totally 100% unfeasible as a transit system because its carrying capacity is vastly too low for the size of the infrastructure commitment and its ridiculous cost

this is a man who greenlit sending a car into space without even sanitizing it first, which is standard practice for space programs around the world to avoid the potential of destroying undiscovered microorganism ecosystems on other celestial bodies

this is a man who got himself investigated by the fucking SEC because he tried to manipulate his own damn stock prices for the sake of a fucking weed joke

this is a man in his weird super long mid life crisis calling himself a fucking "meme necromancer" to try to be a cool kid

the man is a fucking idiot. buying himself the title of "chief engineer" does not magically grant him engineering ability or knowledge

buying a company with daddys blood money does not make him a competent or savvy CEO

tesla is a nightmare company for potential investors

Happy October. 

He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.

Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!

He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!

Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.

He said fuck the police!

He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.

He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.

He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.

You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!

And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.

It is a funny tradition in our store to stack all the Adventures of Dod books next to each other until they get bought then wait until the next round to stack more

There is always more

The Adventures of Dod, by author Thomas R. Williams is simply put, the worst book I’ve ever read in my whole entire freaking life. Well, I guess I can’t say that. I actually couldn’t finish reading it.

If you’re at all familiar with the Harry Potter series there’s something just for you in this book, like the confused young hero thrust into a magical world he’s unfamiliar with, Dod (Harry Potter). Or the brainy and organized girl who keeps the rascally boys in line, Dilly (Hermione). Or the lovable doofussy twins that just want to have a good ol’ time, Boot and Buck (Fred and George). And of course the ever-wise school headmaster that knows more than he lets on, Bonboo (Dumbledore). Yes, this story even has a mysterious villain that killed Dod’s grandpa but seems to have disappeared, The Dread (Voldemort). This book rips off the Harry Potter series so badly that I kept waiting for the author to invent a school-yard game that involved the students trying to capture something called the “Golden Swat”. Oh wait, he did.

I was reading this book to my 5th grade students and we couldn’t finish it before the school year ended, so I invented my own ending. I had Dod find a magical red button and push it. It blew up the entire world killing everyone.
