Here is the opening page for #HEXcomic episode 01.
Fr Sean Power is currently suspended from HEX (Holy Order of International Exorcists), and has been banished to the back-woods of Bedlam, NY. Things are about to get creepy however, in this otherwise quiet logging town.

EXCLUSIVE: Honduran drug gangs have taken over the streets of San Francisco. We spent three nights documenting "the Hondos," who have cornered the market for fentanyl and meth—and who will slash you with a machete if you oppose them.
Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.
- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.
- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.
- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."
- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.
Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.
💥I've made a close up edit of the police beating up a protester💥
It very much looks as if the police had planned to charge at the protesters & had planned to pick on someone to make an example of.
As they executed their charge, there was man who was sitting on the wall. Then due to the speed of the charge he was left at the wrong side of the police line.
He was innocently sitting on the wall, & is clearly heard saying: 👇
For what? For what? I'm just sat here, what?😲
Then they all pull him out onto the road for a huge pile on and beat him up.
The absolute brutality of the attack was completely uncalled for as I see it, and the fact that it looked to be pre planned, suggests that it was done purposely to turn a peaceful protest into tomorrows headings of far right thugs, is unreal.
They were smashing him repeated with the sharp edge of their shields, they were punching him repeatedly in the face, & kicking him repeatedly in the head.
This could have easily turned into a second police murder in the same area.
At the end of it he was covered in blood & blood was all over the road.
A quite horrific scene 😢
Once again it looks like more two tier policing with another injustice against an innocent person 😱
I had not the heart to wake up the poor nuns, and after all when one is fast asleep, is not a hard plank just as soft as a feather bed? You see I am becoming a bit of a philosopher! The next morning, I had Mass in a field close to the camp. I wish you could have seen the men as they knelt in a hollow square round the improvised altar, brilliant sunshine overhead, and the soft green of spring about them. They looked so happy, poor lads, as I went down one line and up the other, giving them the Bread of the Strong, and I could not help thinking of another scene long ago when our Lord made the multitude sit down on the grass, and fed them miraculously with the seven loaves. Before I got to the end of my 700 Communions I felt wondrous pity for the twelve Apostles, for they must have been jolly tired also.

It has never been officially acknowledged, but it is an open secret that the UK government sends its nudge unit to grieving families after tragedies like this. Their job is to warn the family they will be held responsible for any public reaction and to push statements about unity to shield the authorities.
In Henry Nowak's case, they clearly missed his godmother. She has spoken with raw honesty about the failures that cost her godson his life. Henry's sister Olivia has likewise shared and supported calls for real accountability instead of scripted silence.
A government that uses threats to manage and muzzle a family's grief has lost all moral authority.
With a few more days of harvesting and printing fake ballots, Democrats will miraculously “come from behind” (pun intended), and win the governor’s race and the Los Angeles mayor’s race. It is bold-faced cheating, rubbed in the faces of California citizens with giddy glee.
And it will keep happening until we stop taking it.
I gave my son a summer job last year because he couldn't find one otherwise. I kept him on in case he needs work this year
Now I have to file monthly returns to HMRC saying I'm not paying him at the moment
They set debt collectors on me because they assumed with zero evidence I would pay him the same every month. I ignored the debt collectors as they'd never get a court order to enforce a debt that didn't exist
Now the pensions regulator is demanding I prove he doesn't need me to start a pension for him. How did they know I had employed him? Probably from HMRC.... So why don't they also know he didn't earn enough to pass the threshold
These people are out of control
It's hard not to see the state as my actual enemy these days rather than an inconvenience to be navigated
