I misread this as Megalopolis at first and her expression still holds true. Yes, I know Megalopolis supposedly features dialogue but maybe it would be better without audio.

This is Archie. He said he was a chiropractor as a joke. This guy believed him and now he's in too deep. 13/10 really committed to the bit

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

Bluesky is funny because I can’t recall any other platform where its growth is explicitly tied to the collective hate for one person.
