Someone who lives down the street from us has a 12-foot skeleton in their yard!

Sorely tempted by this Garbage Day Christmas sweater! (If you know, you know.)

Today, I would gladly take CGI over soulless AI slop. It's lazy, it lacks creativity, and it usually looks awful. Further, AI images are built on stolen work and cost real human jobs. It's the ultimate in not giving a shit about your product, your audience, or the people helping to make your movie.

I used hate CGI. It rarely looked right to me. CGI images were often too flat or too slick to convince me they're real and it never meshed well with the actors. There are exceptions, but generally CGI didn't impress me.

I grew up in the age of practical movie effects. To this day, I still adore and appreciate them. They feel real and present, not just to me but to the actors tasked with bringing the film to life.

I'm against all of them. They take decisions away from the communities affected and give it all to the government in the name of efficiency. The rainy day fund is just the government locking away taxpayer dollars instead of spending them where they're needed now.

...This inequality includes areas such as right to education/access to education, nutrition, legal rights, medical care, and protection from discrimination, violence against women and unfree child marriage." You have my support!

Today is also International Day of the Girl, which was started in 2012 and "supports more opportunity for girls and increases awareness of gender inequality faced by girls worldwide based upon their gender...

I hope for those who are still afraid or unable to show their true face you will finally be able to soon.

It's National Coming Out Day! I've heard coming out stories from many of my LGBTQ+ friends over the years, and I'm sure I'll hear many more today. I believe one of the best things you can do for yourself is embrace who you are in a positive way.

Like a dolt, I forgot to bring my character sheet to D&D today, so I created a new temporary character: Abraxos Gloom, a 5th level wizard necromancer with a skeleton servant named Becky! I already love him so much I don't want him to be temporary! 🧙‍♂️💀👻

Time to break out the spooky season pajamas!

Looking down at my black, skeleton-covered pajama bottoms.
