Bringing this back because the problem with catching up on old bills...is the newer ones. Essentially, I've upped the goal to reflect about a month and a half of bills, which would get us to not behind.

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

My review of Monster: The Ed Gein Story

I am not being hyperbolic when I say this is one of the worst television shows I have ever seen in my whole 40 years on this planet. That this bears absolutely zero resemblance to the real Ed Gein is one thing in and of itself, but even if this was about a completely fictional murderer (which it essentially IS), it would be baffling and indefensible. By the time history's greatest lover and friend Ed Gein starts speaking in an Irish accent and solving crimes, the show is so far gone you have to just fucking accept it. This is what you've chosen to do with your precious time. You've committed eight hours to the absurdist rehabilitation of Ed Gein, misunderstood victim who lit up every room he entered. After all, aren't we the monsters or whatever? Who lives, who dies, who tells his stoooory?

I just know this cat walked a Roosevelt down, took no prisoners at the fall of an empire, and still owes money to a Pharaoh

Tammi, yeah, that one. 2.1 @tammi.bsky.social · 8h

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

I did a little Blue Hollow page preview pack for editors to look at, do you also want to look?? 😮 This is chapter 2: scene 1... three varieties of ghost, two teen boyfriends, and the one type of scowl that unites them. ❤️ This is enemies to lovers YA, baby. Follow for the full pages.... soon 🌱

Sheriff Dale Abernathy and teen Onion Pendergrass approach a blue house on a gloomy day.
Dale: ok Will, look sharp.
he knocks on the door
someone beyond the door: Hold on for just a second!
Dale coughs while they wait, but Onion looks off into the yard, where many ghosts linger in the distance surrounding the tombstones out by the treeline.
Dale tips his hat back: Some house, huh? Whoever built this sure had some scratch! you heard of the waylon mine?
Onion isn't listening.
Onion thinks: There's a lot here. is it cuz we're so far in?

a large man with red hair and overalls opens the door.
George: howdy, sheriff abernathy! this the kid you said?
dale: yes indeedy! william frost pendergrass. this is he! say hi, will.
Onion says nothing, but he has a black eye that radiates purple.
George: whew! that is some shiner, sonny! hope you're not afraid of getting dirty! ha hah! oops, looks like you got that one covered. We got one of your type here already, you're gonna fit right in. I'm george, you'll be working with me. welcome to the blue house! come on in, I'll introduce you to the owner.
Onion scowls, remaining silent.

they walk through the interior of the house-- an old and rotting victorian mansion, the inside painted mostly blue. the wall is peeling and detritus is everywhere.
George: sorry about the mess! well, I guess that's what you're here for, huh sport? ha ha ha!
George turns to converse with Dale, Onion lagging behind.
George: the damn house got built in 1876 so you know it's all fucked up inside! been here six months and barely made a dent!
Dale: yall got any pest control issues? termites?
George: ohhh, rats? cockroaches? this and that! no wood borers though, thank god.
Onion stops at the sound of whistling and looks through an open door into another room.

The geometry of the house briefly bends out of reality, and Onion finds himself staring down a long corridor full of black doorways, at the end of which a blue ghost of a teenage girl is seen stepping just off scene.
Dale smacks Onion's shoulder, bringing him back to reality.
Dale: C'mon, trouble.
Onion looks back, but the corridor is gone. Only a single room remains.

The spiritual responsibility is this:

If we REALLY "hate the sin, love the sinner," then we have a responsibility to call them to repent, and to ensure they cannot hide among us from what they've done.

We have a responsibility to love their stained and wasted souls more than they do.

I honestly believe Christians have a spiritual responsibility to shun ICE agents and make them unwelcome in society

This is different from the moral responsibility we all have to oppose the evil they do, and the patriotic responsibility to oppose their crimes

Abolish ICE.

If you work for ICE, you should quit to save your immortal soul.

Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father.

Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.

easy for me to say as another Large Account perhaps but: the idea that how you should treat another grown adult turns directly on which of you has more followers is among the most "please touch grass" opinions I encounter on here - and I am a leftist anime enjoyer

This guy gives the game away with the misogyny but man—this attitude (if you have a lot of followers you should just let people be assholes to you) drives me nuts.
