Book Description
Strayapedia is the certified fair dinkum, 100% Australian made, 100% foreign owned answer to Wikipedia. Patriotically basted in the goon trough of Australian values, this book is as fundamentally Strayan as bowling your final over underarm, not asking awkward questions about what's in your meat pie, and naming a swimming pool after Harold Holt. Conveniently omitting all areas not relating to Australia, Strayapedia provides definitive alternative facts about Tony Abbott, AC/DC, Canberra, Kylie Minogue, the Hills hoist, Bob Hawke, Hey Hey It's Saturday, Ned Kelly, koalas, Akubras and Shane Warne - among many other certified dinky-di topics. If you want to pass a citizenship test, or win a trivia night hosted by Cory Bernardi, Strayapedia is as valuable as a tiny apartment in Sydney. What they said about Strayapedia* *These quotes are as factual as the rest of this book. 'Sorry, I cannot recall reading it.' Cardinal George Pell 'This is a disgusting, defamatory book which unfortunately doesn't mention me.' Rebel Wilson 'I wanted to endorse Strayapedia, but my backbench thought otherwise.' Malcolm Turnbull 'Buy this book, unless CBS buys it first.' Lachlan Murdoch 'This book contains wrecking, undermining and sniping.' Tony Abbott 'This book should be covered up at all times.'

Book Description
'This book has the biggest sales numbers ever. No other book comes close, period.' Sean Spicer 'Psst, want a copy of the Trumpedia audiobook? I taped the whole thing.' Michael Cohen 'The pages have good people on both sides.' Steve Bannon 'The president misspoke-he meant that he wouldn't like to read this book.' Sarah Huckabee Sanders ' ' Jared Kushner 'Every word is a lie, it's all true, and Trump should be locked up because he's innocent.' Rudy Giuliani 'Trumpedia makes me proud to be the wife of the first African-American president. Be best!' Melania Trump Covering Trumpian essentials like Mar-a-Lago, Kim Jong-Un, The Mooch, 'covfefe', Miss Universe, fast food and of course Vladimir Putin, among other trending topics, Trumpedia is packed with the 45th president's least favourite things - facts and jokes. Featuring his unlikely successes in television, wrestling and politics, along with disasters like Trump Vodka, Trump 'University' and Trump Child Incarceration, Trumpedia is a roller coaster ride from the absurd to the ridiculous to the genuinely disturbing. It's just like following Trump on Twitter.

Pages : 322

Book Description
Hilarious and touching, a novel that just goes to show that not all men in their 30s run screaming from the prospect of fatherhood Tim Wright's friends are abandoning him. He still feels young and irresponsible at the age of 34, but his most reliable drinking buddies have been retiring from action. They've produced no less than 20 of these whining menaces in the past two years, transforming his friends into sleepless zombies who are incapable of doing anything more than feeding and changing their demanding offspring. At least Tim's frustration is giving him some great material for his standup comedy career. Audiences love it when he talks about the deadly new threat to his way of life, Al Childa, whose members simply cannot be negotiated with and pack deadly chemical weapons in their nappies. And now that he's a bit of a celebrity, Tim finds that younger, single women are much more impressed by someone they've seen on TV. But he's discovering that it's impossible to make a real connection with someone who's only talking to you because you're on first-name basis someone famous. Then, as if life weren't already difficult enough, his friend Sally rents an apartment around the corner after her husband leaves her, a mere two years after Tim was cracking jokes at their wedding, and she expects her old buddy, with his conspicuous lack of a day job, to help mind her six-month-old baby, Fabian.

Book Description
From the bestselling author of Strayapedia comes the definitive dictionary of the year the world went to sh*t. 2020 sucked. It's been a year of bushfires, floods, a recession, a global pandemic and Kanye West's presidential campaign. But it was also the year we all watched Hamilton, baked sourdough, had dinner parties on Zoom and drank constantly - okay, so maybe that wasn't such a great thing either. Amid the non-stop trauma, however, it's been a year of togetherness and community spirit - though mostly trauma. But as we limp towards 2021, it's time to look back at it all, and laugh. Because at least we all suffered through this year together. Not literally together - that was generally illegal. But we were side by side in our bubbles, all going through the same thing. The 2020 Dictionary is an invaluable record of all we learned in the year the world turned to sh*t, helpfully collected in alphabetical order, with jokes where appropriate, as well as in some places where they probably aren't. What They Said About This Book* The 2020 Dictionary will just disappear in the spring. Donald Trump I take full responsibility for blaming the health minister for this book. Daniel Andrews Stay six feet away from the book at all times. Dr Anthony Fauci This tome feels rather sesquipedalian. Boris Johnson This book is not allowed into Queensland unless it's playing footy. Annastacia Palaszczuk I've asked Angus Taylor to investigate burning this book as an energy source. Scott Morrison *These quotes are as real as hydroxychloroquine is effective against Covid

The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide

Author: James Fadiman
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1594779368
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 352

Book Description
Psychedelics for spiritual, therapeutic, and problem-solving use • Presents practices for safe and successful psychedelic voyages, including the benefits of having a guide and how to be a guide • Reviews the value of psychedelics for healing and self-discovery as well as how LSD has facilitated scientific and technical problem-solving • Reveals how microdosing (ultr-low doeses) improve cognitive functioning, emotional balance, and physical stamina • This year 600,000 people in the U.S. alone will try LSD for the the first time, joining the 23 million who have already experimented with this substance Called “America’s wisest and most respected authority on psychedelics and their use,” James Fadiman has been involved with psychedelic research since the 1960s. In this guide to the immediate and long-term effects of psychedelic use for spiritual (high dose), therapeutic (moderate dose), and problem-solving (low dose and microdose) purposes, Fadiman outlines best practices for safe, sacred entheogenic voyages learned through his more than 40 years of experience--from the benefits of having a sensitive guide during a session (and how to be one) to the importance of the setting and pre-session intention. Fadiman reviews the newest as well as the neglected research into the psychotherapeutic value of visionary drug use for increased personal awareness and a host of serious medical conditions, including his recent study of the reasons for and results of psychedelic use among hundreds of students and professionals. He reveals new uses for LSD and other psychedelics, including microdosing, extremely low doses, for improved cognitive functioning and emotional balance. Cautioning that psychedelics are not for everyone, he dispels the myths and misperceptions about psychedelics circulating in textbooks and clinics as well as on the internet. Exploring the life-changing experiences of Ram Dass, Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, and Huston Smith as well as Francis Crick and Steve Jobs, Fadiman shows how psychedelics, used wisely, can lead not only to healing but also to scientific breakthroughs and spiritual epiphanies.

Technological Slavery

Author: Theodore John Kaczynski
Publisher: Fitch & Madison Publishers, LLC
ISBN: 9781944228033
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 355

Book Description
Logical, lucid, and direct, Technological Slavery radically reinvigorates and reforms the intellectual foundations of an age-old and resurgent world-view: "Progress" is a myth. Wild nature and humanity are fundamentally incompatible with technological growth. In Technological Slavery, Kaczynski argues that: (i) the unfolding human and environmental crises are the direct, inevitable result of technology itself; (ii) many of the stresses endured in contemporary life are not normal to the human condition, but unique to technological conditions; (iii) wilderness and human life close to nature are realistic and supreme ideals; and, (iv) a revolution to eliminate modern technology and attain these ideals is necessary and far more achievable than would first appear. Drawing on a broad range of disciplines, Kaczynski weaves together a set of visionary social theories to form a revolutionary perspective on the dynamics of history and the evolution of societies. The result is a comprehensive challenge to the fundamental values and assumptions of the modern technology-driven world, pinning the cause of the rapidly unfolding catastrophe on technology itself, while offering a realistic hope for ultimate recovery. Note: Theodore John Kaczynski does not receive any remuneration for this book.

I know that it might be, like, gauche of me to spill the secrets of my chic brethren, but the rest of the world has a right to know. So I've gone ahead and compiled a really long list of some tactics that I have observed my friends and colleagues employ in order to lose weight. And I'm, like, a really good source because I went to a super legit fashion school and I did a bunch of internships at really fancy places. ... Just so you know, this book is totally just FYI and is completely satirical. Like, I just want to make you laugh, or something. No one should take any of this to heart ... I really love the people in my life, but ... they're obvi unhinged and their habits should definitely not be emulated.--Foreword, page 8.
