Audible gave me two free credits and I don't know what to use them on. Already have Norm and Colin's books. Don't really read fiction, but I'd maybe give it a chance if it sounds interesting.

- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

Based on a true story and the coloring book
What kind of stuff do you usually listen to?
I like historical stuff. Most of what I listen to I have to make my own text-to-speech audiobooks because they don't have official ones and all the big titles they promote on Audible look lame.
Oh no Dougie I think you misread. He already has those two.

Flashman.
The Alan Partridge books are the funniest books I've ever read but I'm not sure how funny they are if you're not familiar with the character.
Dune or world war z unabridged if you can find it

George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London (just a taste)

There's a free version of Lonesome Dove on the web which is pretty good. The narrator makes one of the main characters sound like a witty Steve Austin.
The audible version of Dispatches, by Michael Herr, is really well done.
Cheated by Andy Martino on the Astros cheating scandal is real good
The Real Anthony Fauci by RFK Jr (excellent book and more about the overall covid scan and response)
The Secret Knowledge by David Mamet
The Problem of Pain by CS Lewis
Griftopia by Matt Taibi on the 2008 financial meltdown
Dumbing us Down, or Weapons of Mass Instruction by John Taylor Gatto on public education and why it is the way it is and what it's goals are
Just a few I've enjoyed recently.

I second Griftopia, and I'll add in The Big Short and Moneyball by Michael Lewis. Good pop Econ books about the markets.
If you really like history and want bang for your buck get Shelby Footes narrative history of the Civil War. For a credit you get like 45 hours of in depth and interesting civil war history
Yeah I'm only doing this because it's a free trial that you can keep two books when you cancel. I got a bunch from them and maybe listened to only a quarter all the way through, so won't be making that mistake again.
Larry King reading Tropic of Cancer. I've never actually listened to it but pig destroyer used a warped clip of it in a song and it fawkin ruled.
