I'll protect you from The Hooded Claw.
Heed me. This strip will be my new and enduring explanation for all my hyper vigilance issues. You can’t trifle with the hedge toads.

I heard about this book on twitter, wrote it down, and found it at a used bookstore a few days later 🩷
Best news report of the day here - credit where it’s due to RTE 😂👏🇵🇸 And even some credit to the Judge today who fairly said: “I am sure there is not a lot Kneecap can agree with His Majesty’s Government on” And finished with “go raibh mhaith agaibh” 🔥
This was a massive hit in Australia in the greatest year for pop music. Still an amazing track.m.youtube.com/watch?v=dGIe0M…
Those who are most dissatisfied with how things are going to the point where they packed their bags and left do not get a ballot paper. Those with the most to say about what is and what isn’t happening in Ireland are silenced. irishtimes.com/life-style/peo…

~ Thirty Novels for #Noirvember ~ 12. THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE (1934). From the moment Frank spotted Cora in the kitchen, nothing was ever the same. A noir watershed—grubby, subversive, and told in a voice so tersely cynical that the paragraphs read like hardboiled haikus.
NONE of these singers touch the HEM of the garment of Little Richard Penniman, or his vocal heir Prince - VOCALLY. If you’re throwing in Sinatra in a field of Rock & Roll singers? There’s a LONG LIST. JAMES BROWN. . STEVIE WONDER. AL GREEN. Steve Perry?! over SAM COOKE!?
Who is missing here? 👇🏻

This is a Columbo board game. It was inspired by the television show that starred Peter Falk. #TV
How to explain the 1970's. Telly Savalas covering Bread in spoken word, with a giant woman's head in the background. 😂
How is started &…. You know the rest of it.
They called me Kid Gorgeous, later on it was Kid Presentable, then Kid Gruesome, and finally Kid Moe.
Given that there has been a pattern of more PhDs and fewer jobs for years with the knock on effect that the pool of candidates for any post is increasingly brilliant and accomplished, it would actually be weird if you didn't have imposter syndrome in modern academia.
