Today's Pirate Ontology is all about dark humor and why we need it. (Especially these days, but I'd argue humans require it always.) It's an essay you can check it out on my website directly:

Now I wanna open a chain of 24 hour diners called “Eye Oh Dine” and we’ll serve idodine tablets with every order to help keep your thyroid from collecting the radioactive Iodine-131 from nuclear fallout.
Might be a short term business, or could you say: a flash in the pan, or if the impacts are after dark, would it be fly-by-night?
Either way: it’s really gonna blow up.

On different timeline that'd have been gallows humor.
Now gather round while we read the modern folk tale, "The Deportation Of The Boy With His Finger In The Dike"
@perthwolfman @campuscodi While the size comparison is not inaccurate, living in a part of the world with a not insubstantial number of real Bald Eagles I will testify under oath that I have personally seen Bald Eagles successfully attack Seagull rookeries, ducks, Canada Geese, Nutria, and lambs as well as fish. Let’s not confuse the real bird with those who exercise species misappropriation. It’s like blaming a musician because their song was illegally used for propaganda. The birds can’t prevent the misappropriation and don’t deserve the hit to their reputation. They are the true victim. #gallowshumor
Read earlier that #LarrySummers was stepping down from the board of #OpenAI
Then I saw this headline from The Onion.
I put a content warning on it because it's

The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas published this chart of AI Scenarios back in June. I came across it for the first time today.

ICE Explains Hanging Incident as “New Employee Wellness Program” Gone Wrong
#Satire #ImmigrationNews #ICE #NotTheOnion #GallowsHumor By: TheJestPress.com **ICE Announces Bold New Wellness Program: "Hanging in There" Takes Tragic Turn** In a move that raised eyebrows, conjured side-eyes, and rocketed public trust to *unprecedented subterranean levels*, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced today that one of its detainees was found “hanging by the neck” in…
U.S. federal agencies hiding in a bunker (literal #GallowsHumor--the CDC "deceased" line, not to mention the red tape)
(But seriously, if you are still there--throw every particle of sand you can to break down the machinery of evil)

One conversation with J.D. and he had a stroke. Damn.
Just more proof that Trump never talks to his VP.

Morning conversation in bed:
"This timeline just keeps getting worse."
"You know how we're supposed to groan 'oh no' when they drop the big one? At this rate, instead everyone will cry out, "FINALLY!"
"Turns out the radioactivity makes everyone immortal."
"Well, I for one welcome our new radioactive overlords."
And that was when the riot started.

@nyquildotorg BOO 👎 but 😜 #Gallowshumor
@ai6yr When this pops up alone in the timeline, it is a sad post, esp when you have received one of those boxes in the mail.😞
But, when you open the thread, it is "fall out of your chair laughing," good #GallowsHumor 😂 lol
@Jason844 Trump might go all in on wind power to control bird flu since his biggest complaint about wind power is they kill birds #GallowsHumor Of course, we all know it is because energy sector, esp gas, oil and COAL, hate them.
@AWolfInCheapClothing I can hear my late uncle say, "Yeah, but those last 20-minutes suck anyway."

2/ You thought I was going for some kind of #gallowshumor #gallowshumour with that game play above, didn't you?
A Man Was Murdered in Cold Blood and You're Laughing?
Just read a critique of the response to the death of that United Healthcare CEO in a major US publication.
It seems like it was written by a person who never had a want in its life, got everything it ever asked for, grew up in the era where people didn't even keep scores in sports matches or games. That's my take of its Wikipedia bio.
Also, uses bits and pieces of research and data without proper context, to validate its snobby view of us all.
For example, cites research that 73% of all healthcare workers are the receiver of nonfatal workplace injuries. Nurses, residents, aides, specialists and ends that bit with, "they are asked to absorb the rage and panic induced by the American health-care system"
The research cited actually said most of those injuries come from back injuries and other work task related injuries. Some were from patients at a time when they are at a diminished mindset, like under anesthesia or dementia. Very little physical violence or injuries from outrage, although there was a great bit of verbal upset by patients and families in their time of personal panic over their loved ones.
This author twisted the facts to indict the entire country over venting about our healthcare experiences with insurance.
I've seen very few people say they were rejoicing the murder itself, as this author seems to suggest. It's out there but not by the majority of people this Karen indicts.
I could have read the piece with bias because it is targeted at me. Just being honest. I've had a few #gallowshumor #gallowshumour posts about it, but not at the man himself losing his life.
What good is #UnitedHealthcare #Optum mail order pharmacy when they fill your order when you run out but it takes a week to 10 days to get your scripts? They won't let you fill your order enough time in advance to get it before you run out and they calculate the next refill date for when they get confirmation you got your order.
I get so mad that I could, well, just keep the level of anger to myself. This was supposed to be easier, esp with me living in a rural area and all the mom and pop pharmacies being priced out of the market and closing.
A lot of my meds can't be stopped and started cold turkey.
#gallowshumor: Their customer support is about as useful as a dead man on a sidewalk. #gallowshumour
I think we have a true bipartisanship moment in the country. Many people across all political spectrums, all walks of life, all economic statuses, seem to agree that healthcare CEO's get what they deserve with all the dark and #gallowsHumor and stories about their horrible health insurance experiences.
Those reactions are now being analyzed by the same people that made a cottage industry of analyzing American elections in a manner to keep the analyzation of American politics a thriving business, and once again, with all their judgement on their holier than thou soapbox's.
Well, tv analyst's, you can:
