Copilot ends its explanation with a “helpful” “Would you like me to create a clear, easy-to-read “Know Your Rights” card that could be carried in a wallet? That could pair well with whistle alerts.” Sorta tells you which side Microsoft is on.
OTOH my card is from a gun-rights group. Sorta tells you which side I’m on.
You think that’s a “tell?”
I asked Apple Maps to show me where Somaliland was. It had no idea. Best it could suggest was a district in SF called SOMA, and a town of the same name in India.

I tried, and nothing came up but AI suggested removing the quotes. Then a photo of a card attached to the whistle came up, giving the instructions and propaganda as to why it was ‘necessary’. I picked on the photo to take me to the link and IT was blocked. So I right clicked, saved ‘image’ and posted it on FB. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10232902344443291&set=a.1533047088535
There’s always a hidden message, maybe even hidden from the author 😉
12+44+31 = 87…8+7 = 15…1+5 = 6
1+2+4+4+3+1 = 15…1+5 = 6
There are 6 of them…
Hell’s broke loose in Texas and the devil’s dealin’ cards. 🙂
Or…a line from a Canadian classic…
‘The water’s boiling, poached eggs waiting
The toast I notice still on the plate
The queen of diamonds lying face down
Your hidden message makes no sense’
Doug & the Slugs is one of the best & most underrated Canadian bands! I haven’t heard this song for at least a couple of decades!!

They never really hit it big un the States, I guess they’re our secret 😉
Every time I listen to that one I hear something different, the instrumental parts are a lot more intricate than they seem at first listen, pity Doug decided to party like a rock star and that killed him 🙁 His replacement’s voice was uncannily similar but I haven’t heard anything new from them for quite awhile.

Sticking to the musical theme, I tried transposing the numbers to letters and ended up with ABDDCA and promptly got ‘ABACAB’ stuck in my head where it still remains today…quite the toe-tappin’ comic, but what we need is some serious toe-taggin’ in certain political circles…remember, if the rioters show up in your neighbourhood help keep your city clean, police your brass.
31 might refer to an 1849 Colt Percussion ‘Pocket Navy’ as seen in The Outlaw Josey Wales among other places, or maybe the 1858 Pocket Remington as seen in Pale Rider, it was .31 too and ones like that might have started the ‘bustin’ caps’ saying 😉

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice
Epador’s Version
Some say the world will end in fire
For orange man bad and glows
Some say it’s ICE
Which I think’s nice
For we have all seen enough of hate
From deranged fools with tweets that grate
To favor freezing left wing hoes
In DHS camps for Marxist Joes.
When Muslim invaders cause tradionally Christian events to be cancelled in Europe because it may offend that minority, nothing short of a bloody purge will change the trajectory. Somaliland, Minnesota may be our proving ground. No way. The host nations bends to minority invaders. They, the Europeans are so hosed. Take off, ya hosers.

Riffraff, yes. Demonstrators are another problem, but not as prevalent in Texas.
Flying commercial is safer than private when you consider some of the places Skye needs to be.
A bizjet can get a MANPAD up its ass and the incident gets “buried”, but a commercial liner eating one might attract a little too much attention.
clear ether

People that would target Skye (or her real-life counterparts) wouldn’t flinch at a little “collateral damage” caused by bringing down an airliner.
For those of us who might like to produce the same effect but can’t afford the cars… whistles are only $5.
Google: “blow whistle to warn of ICE”
(I’ve tried this five times with real URLs and my comment gets blackholed every time.)
Fella could have a lot of fun with one o’ them $5 whistles in certain places…

Which was immediately taken down.

Love it! Thanks.

Ah, one of the many sewer districts located on the African continent, much like Michigan, Minnesota and Quebec, etc on the North American continent.
Actually, much of Michigan is reasonably nice.
Like the older joke about wearing a dark blue ball cap and jacket, and calling out “LA MIGRA! LA MIGRA!” and watching the cockroaches scatter.
Chris,
What is the significance of the numbers 12 44 31?

It’s a COMMERCIAL?
Zar Belk, Ralphie!
12=12gauge, 44=.44 caliber, and 31 is a fully loaded Glock 19 with a spare mag. Happy to help.

I don’t know who that other Craig is, but great strip! Can’t wait to see how it goes. Thanks!

How much inbreeding does it take to get a country where everybody’s head is shaped like a light bulb?
Coulda been worse.
Coulda been a CFL.
