Prickly City by Scott Stantis for September 11, 2021

Unless, of course, we could turn off the LIES from Republicans*.

Trump Disciples continue to lie about EVERY issue.

No 9/11 memorial strip? Maybe waiting for Sunday?

BEEP…BEEP…There was a lightning strike in your area.

Yes, turning off alerts helps. Read the news, once a day, and then go on with your life where you are.

Or ……. just maybe …… work to resolve or mitigate the bad effects from these issues? Rather than just ignore them?

The constant slanders sure make each side hate the radicals of the other.

Maybe it’s only those of us with roots in New York and DC for whom today’s remembrance is still an immediate thing. Choking up this morning scanning the relatively few headlines commemorating the day.

At least take it off the lying FOX propaganda channel.

“Alas, poor country! / Almost afraid to know itself. It cannot /Be called our mother, but our grave, where nothing, / But who knows nothing, is once seen to smile; / Where sighs and groans and shrieks that rend the air / Are made, not marked; where violent sorrow seems / A modern ecstasy. The dead man’s knell / Is there scarce asked for who, and good men’s lives / Expire before the flowers in their caps, / Dying or ere they sicken.” William Shakespeare – Macbeth: Act IV, scene vii.

(Note: “Where sighs and groans and shrieks that rend the air / Are made, not marked” means no one pays attention as they have become so common they are now unremarkable.)

Off buttons are lovely things.

For those looking for a 911 tribute strip, check out Dick Tracy.

pcshearer, I’m with you today.

The internet will kill us all.

“These cries for help from all the victims of disasters that don’t affect us are really taking the joy out of our frolicking. Just switch ’em off, there you go.”
