Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.
A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

There is no way to reduce deportations without a substantial defunding of law enforcement in rural areas, who have long operated like a baronial class unto themselves.

1. I’m not suggesting I trust the Russian government or Putin when I say this, but these stories, which should be reported, always freak people out….especially after 2020. And I’m not blaming or shaming anyone for getting anxious when they see these headlines.

The Literary Crimes of T. Kingfisher: That time she shoplifted a Jane Austen themed dildo. That time she plagiarized Courtney Milan's hairpin scene, but it was talking fleas instead of hairpins. That time she stole fifteen pumpkins and carved them into a scowling penis and left it on my lawn.

I’m guessing the correlation between: • “I’m tough on crime! Lock up that young Black man (aged 14) selling drugs!” and • “Wasn‘t an essay enough punishment for those poor young boys (aged 18+) at Cornell?” is close to 1.00000. In case anyone still thinks “tough on crime” is abt … crime.

I think it is crucial for the health of the Democratic party that the entire consultant class from previous administrations, including and especially Clinton, be told to go home and stop bothering people. They are wrong about everything and have been holding the party back for decades.

I’ve been a media witness to two federal executions. One was Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. The other, a week later, was a drug kingpin named Juan Raul Garza. My conclusion after watching both men die: The death penalty should not exist. Period. It fixes nothing, and it erodes our souls.

RFK Jr. says AI backs his anti-vaccine views. We checked—it doesn't.

…Because, the story goes, we need the votes of people who *don’t* want full trans rights. Because THEY have that purity test, and must be catered to. So trans people and the people who love them should just suck it up and watch their rights taken away. For some mythical voter’s (yep) purity test.

Hey Apple News why do you do this crap? I blocked the channel so I don't want to see any of their crap. Not constant reminders of their crap.

When I set out to fact check “The Cities That Said Yes to Drugs” which argues that harm reduction may increase overdoses, I expected some cherry picking and misdirection. But not to find basic math errors and debunked right wing talking points asserted as fact in the Atlantic’s print edition.
