Congrats, Carlos! Working with a brand that aligns with your values is the apex of creator capitalism.

The next country we should invade is Luxemburg. It's tiny, white, and rich. It may even have a monarchy we could topple. We could set up some Swiss-type banks for our own rich people to hide their money in. And, we should build a bunch of gambling casinos where wealthy US citizens could go to play. Last, it would be really great if we did above-ground nuclear bomb testing there.

Hahaha, that's perfect. I actually just watched the documentary about Sparks, they're great.

I’ve been a touch obsessed with Sparks for three years now. I may also run an exclusively-Sparks Twatter account. I may also write nothing but ridiculous shit that only a fellow deviant would enjoy. I’ve only been here a couple weeks but your writing is my favorite so far. I also suspect you may be Tralfamadorian. Or Kilgore Trout.

Thanks! I can’t say I perceive all time simultaneously but I have written a book so I think that makes me more of a Kilgore Trout

Make sure you get included in the do-not-bombard list in case of internal bombardment "tests" they might "accidentally" conduct. Nice piece for April Fools.
