👀 Satire For Hire
There's a famous line written by German playwright Bertolt Brecht:
"In the dark times/Will there be singing?
There will be singing/Of the dark times."
But what about laughter during the dark times? That's a slightly bigger ask IMO.
Palestininian-American comic Sammy Obeid seems to have got the hang of it, though.
There are multiple ways to get your point across, and comedy is a powerful one, even if the topic is heavy and serious and makes you despair at the state of the world.
I'm not overly fond of many stand-up comedians, but I do love it when it's done right (Alok Menon and Varun Grover proved to be recent examples).Â
So, if you like your funnybones nudged with brilliant social commentary, this is the place to be.

Bring some laughter (and learning) into someone's life and share Just One Thing with them.
