I kind of like the idea of a General Strike:

Stay home, read a book, eat the food you have.

My Thoughts on the Riyadh Comedy Festival I’ve been asked for my opinion on the Riyadh Comedy Festival and rather than answer the same question 23 times, I’ll just put this out here. Oh, and I should preface this with the fact that I was not ...
