This is an eviscerating satire of the nattering careerist nabobs, unprincipled hypocrites all of them. <media href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2A97BrLjsc" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/Y2A97BrLjsc" source="YouTube" width="560px" author="Tadhg Hickey" caption="Writer can no longer stay silent"> <bq><img attachment="janus.webp" align="right" caption="Janus">Janice McUturn here, writer. Guys, I think we can all agree, the images coming out of Gaza this week, they've ripped my heart out and flung it against a wall. It's unacceptable and I now---through enormous personal courage, actually---I'm ready to use that blasted G-word. It's a [whispered] <i>genocide guys</i>. I'm ready to tell you that it's a [whispered] <i>genocide guys</i> and I can no longer stay silent. That's what it is. I can no longer stay silent. Now, I was kind of delighted to stay silent for the last 19 months as many within my industry were paying the ultimate price for sticking their head above the parapet and just calling it what any sentient being would have to concede is a live-stream genocide---mostly people of color, by the way---but sure that was great for me. Less competition. But, I do feel now is the moment for me to come in. I mean, if you come in too early, you could be labeled an Islamist---whatever that means---come in too late, you're a Holocaust denier. I feel, by coming in now, I've given myself the best chance of being commercially viable to both sides in a post-genocide world. Look, as a writer, I think we can all agree that's where all the great literature comes from, doesn't it? Just sitting on the fence, seeing which way the wind will blow and then going in the direction most expedient to one's career? Now, if the wind blows the other way again, I just want to put on record, one more time, October 7th [Yells] Aaaaahhh! Absolutely condemn it in the strongest possible terms---like sick---but, uh, but yeah, just praying for peace, guys. [Simpers] Namaste.</bq>
