[Cartoon strip pastiche of the Highway Code, with illustrations describing the text]
[Title panel]:
The Highway Code
Rule number 112b:
LED headlights
In recent years, many
new cars have been fitted with extra-bright LED headlights.
LED headlights increase safety by illuminating every detail of the road ahead
Including the face of the person driving a metal box towards you at a combined speed of 80mph
Whom you have just blinded with your LED headlights.
LED headlights must be fitted at eye-level on a great big murderous wall of car.
[Show a car crumpling into the front of a high-fronted SUV, bathed in light from the blinding headlamps]
They must be permanently on full beam, because you are insane.
And they should be bright enough to make other drivers think they are ascending into a blinding vortex of alien light
Like them old people in the classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon (1985).
[Show illustration of the final scene where the older people on the boat are being yoinked up into the blindingly-illuminated cloaca of the big spaceship]
So remember: you must use LED headlights
To prevent everyone from not crashing into you.

Every WSJ journalist and other journalist who pushed the lie that the shooter was pushing "transgender ideology" is as bad as journalists who pushed anti-Jewish libel in Nazi Germany.
Nazis are openly calling for violence against trans people under the assumption the shooter was trans.

Charlie KIrk believed that empathy was a "new concept" that shouldn't exist, so anyone who expresses condolences for him is being VERY disrespectful to his beliefs right now. please keep him out of your thoughts as he begins his transition into worm food. thank you

I wondered where she'd been, found her new spot while watering my plants and spiders (I have a little spritz bottle just for the spiders, they very much appreciate it.)
Anyway she's probably a hobo spider. Bigger than last I saw her. Brings this monkey joy.

I have the full series still! I don't hold with their largely unaddressed fantasy racism and sexism, but I hold onto them for the nostalgia.

A nickel-sized diadem spider suspended in the center of its web and lit by the sun.
Good bug. Diadem spider. She was living on my blackberry bramble for a couple months. I think a bird got her this week, though. RIP madam

Good bug. Yellow sac spider. He was in my shower, so I gave him a lift outside.
