Heard joke once: man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him."

Taking a brief sabbatical from comics and podcasts until December 8. In the meantime, here's a comic series from my Patreon.
"House on the Highway"
ALT There's a House on the side of the Highway. You've been walking along this road for days so you have to take this chance. The door is unlocked.
ALT You look for a light. The switches are broken. But there's a candle and a box of matches ona nearby table as if they were waiting for you.
ALT The house is mostly empty. It is also dusless, like it has been cleaned recently. You go from room to room. Nothing.
ALT You go up the stairs. There are three doors in the hallway. You fo to the one on your left. There's a chair in the center of the room.

I put a lot of work into this thread to show immigrants not over-represented as murderers of women in Ireland.
Among the hundreds of racists I blocked, in the comments and QT's, a common complaint was the exclusion of manslaughter and insanity.
"Show that!", they say.
Ok. /1

gpt recommended I call a method I hadn't heard of in a library I'm using. so I googled it. 1 other result.
turns out, it doesn't exist. gpt hallucinated it. but someone had asked about it on github... because an llm had hallucinated the same method name before.
it begins.

This is Leo Ralph Villamayor from the Philippines, an agency nurse.
On November 23rd he was on the way to his graduation in the Gresham Hotel when the stabbing happened.
Leo quickly raced to the little girl and did CPR for minutes until the ambulance arrived on scene.

Ryan Casey's victim impact statement asserts Ireland has lost its innocence, if a young woman can be cruelly murdered in broad daylight in 2022.
Ireland lost its innocence a long time ago, if that's a basis underpinning the assertion.
It would be a mistake to forget that. /1

That photo of an IDF soldier holding up a Pride flag in charred and flattened Gaza City should be one of the defining images of our time. If that image was in a movie like, for example, Starship Troopers or Southland Tales, it would be considered "blunt" and "a bit much."

Israeli officials are open about ethnic cleansing now. And the prime minister himself is saying they plan to occupy Gaza indefinitely, with no Palestinian government. Western politicians can’t pretend anymore. They’re complicit in ethnic cleansing and genocide before the world.
