The Exorcist works for me even in spite of my atheism. Ignoring the actual exorcism in it, the film is about a mother whose daughter is unwell, whose condition is truly mysterious, cannot be cured by conventional means, and is destroying the lives of both the mother and the daughter. Knowing your child is ill and not knowing how or if they’ll be cured is a form of horror that resonates with many and I feel so strongly sympathetic for the characters in the film.

They are real animals and it would have taken you a quick five second search to confirm such.

It’s a lovely way to unwind after a long day. Soaking in water takes weight off your joints and bones, the heat feels nice, and I’ll usually put a show on my phone to unwind with an episode before I wash up.

Speaking as a furry, trust me when I say people are gonna draw anything from any franchise sexually.

Thank you for your kind assurances and for “footing” for me, random stranger c:

I have an auditory processing disorder sooo all of them lol

Don’t forget Alligator Auschwitz! I hear they’re selling merch.

Bombs for blowing up brown people in scary foreign lands. Yanno, important stuff.

Human suffering is such a uselessly broad, wide sweeping range of things and happenings that you may as well have said “bad things.”

The problem is that genAI isn’t good at creating new, distinct faces. It’s good at making approximations of faces based on heaps of visual information. It only makes sense that if you use the slop generator, you’re going to get a consistent, samey, lifeless pile of slop.

In essence, stop pulling the slop lever expecting a fine crafted turkey dinner. You’re not pulling the turkey dinner lever, you’re pulling the pink slime lever.

Fell asleep, woke up, suddenly there’s only 30k left on the EU initiative.

The Mojave. The desert is gorgeous, I long for getting away from the humidity, and I NEED a burger at Goodsprings.

Sorry for a Twatter link.

“Alligator Alcatraz” is a new concentration camp built in the swamps of Florida. They’re selling Alligator Alcatraz merchandise to fund some cartoonishly evil dickwad’s political campaign.
