I think that makes it even better. Fucking dark, but still funny because we all knew right away what the last panel would look like were it there…

WDYM “its own meme”? Comedy is all about context, and this meme is only perfect because it’s in the context of this story.

Generally sure, but I think part of the context that makes this funny is the meme format itself, which is why I think it would also work without the context of this post.

Sounds pretty awful, but remember that prosecutors don’t have ESP. So “prosecutors claim she didn’t want to jeopardize her career” is not the same as “she didn’t want to jeopardize her career”.

It’s not like she wrote in her diary “Today I killed my newborn because I thought it would interfere with work.”

That’s fair. Pure unfounded speculation: I wonder if there was an element of post partum psychosis.

I can’t even begin to understand what it’s like inside a woman’s brain after childbirth. My wife struggled through it and came out ok. I’m glad I could help her.

I read that the hormone swing from pregnancy to “back to normal” the month or so after is the fastest swing in hormones a human can experience.

It can absolutely fuck up your brain during that time + lack of sleep + stress. It’s a recipe for this kind of thing.

Sure that was my initial impression too, but I think I am going to sleep on it and maybe take some polls or study the matter more deeply. Can’t be too rash when judging someone for tossing a baby out of a window.
