"Smooth lips with an evil heart are like glaze on an earthen vessel. A hateful person disguises himself with his speech and harbors deceit within. ... Though his hatred is concealed by deception, his evil will be revealed in the assembly." - Prov 26

i can say this with some authority, the only people who want to watch someone die are those who have never been in the room when someone died. having had the misfortune of being in the room at the deaths of a dozen or so people i can assure you, you don't want to see it. full stop.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."

oil is down but it isn’t lowering gas or diesel. shortage fears keep prices high but there’s no shortage of oil…. ‘it’s the refineries’ they screech while still making record profits. it’s all a scam to rip you off and enrich the billionaires.

hate, I scorn your festivals, I take no pleasure in your solemn assemblies. When you bring me burnt offerings . . . your oblations, I do not accept them and I do not look at your communion sacrifices of fat cattle. (Amos 5:21f)

this world isn't home. never has been. the last decade has made that even more clear. this is a foreign land where i don't speak the language or embrace the culture or feel at peace. this world is alien. and i feel like an alien in it. i want to go to my real home more every day.
