This week's #AuthorShoutOut is @iang14.bsky.social, author of speculative fiction that makes you laugh one minute, & gasp the next.
Just when you think you know where he's going with a story, it'll twist like wild. Throw Sir Terry, Douglas Adams, & Stephen King together, & you have Ian.

I regularly prank strangers by leaving them alone and letting them get on with their day. It's hilarious to see people not be inconvenienced in the slightest, completely unaware that they're being pranked.

A tv show once had contestants make a healthy meal and theirs had 12 sticks of butter, cream, sugar, etc. "But it's unsalted butter!" they said.
Like companies who say "Our cleaning products contain chemicals that will end aquatic life as we know it, but the plastic wrap is *compostable!"
