The Void (2016) Its a fucking awesome not very good movie that does suspense and looking nice very well. The plot is pretty loose, a bunch of people find themselves trapped in a decaying hospital by crowds of cultists outside, inside the hospital are body horror abominations and our intrepid heroes try to figure out what the fuck is going on. Tons of practical special effects, a somewhat nonsensical story, remarkably compelling acting and a really good sense of atmosphere. The Void is a movie with a lot of heart.

The first two of the V/H/S series of short horror anthology films are an absolute blast. I haven't seen the rest but I hear they fell off.

This isn't an attempt at debunking, but there could be other reasons for this. These weapons have been nicknamed "teddy bears" for whatever reason and the toys could be gifts sent to the unit or the individuals operating the vehicles. A bunch of the toys seem to be teddy bears holding hearts, which are less common for children in households and more common for care packages sent to soldiers (also hospital paitents). The motivation behind adorning the vehicles with these could be affection for those who sent the gifts, some kind of joke, or as a decoration meant to humiliate their victims.

The explaination given by OP is the only one I could find attatched to other uploads of this image. Given what we gave seen the IDF do in Gaza it is not below them to decorate their weapons with the belongings of the children they have murdered, orphaned, rendered homeless and/or traumatized. Either explaination of this photo suggests something perverse is going on here.

Dawg, is this REALLY the most constructive thing you could be doing with your precious, finite lifespan right now?

I partially disagree. There are creative works that are being made today that are just as thoughtful, inspiring, aesthetically pleasing and engaging as the ones made in yesteryears. Our view of the art of the past is warped by the tendency for the good to be preserved and passed on while the bad is cast aside. However, in the past 30 years or so media corporations have gotten marketability down to a science in the name of creating safe investments, not stimulating art. That approach creates highly sucessful, super visible, and entirely bland slop like the Marvel movies and Call of Dutys of the world. Its not that its all worse, its just that the great stuff is lower profile. In my opinion the advent of high-bandwidth internet has partially counteracted this by making global distribution acessable to the everyman.

Very haunting at times too, theres this one scene that lingered in my head for weeks. Fantastic movie, highly reccomended.

Unironically, seriously, hear me out, Mice Tea.

It is a beautiful story about community, identity, self-discovery and what we decide to do with our lives... yes there are a couple dozen sex scenes across the eight or so story paths and yeah sure at its core it's about a tea that turns people into furries but it's GOOD. I cried!

While most erotic VNs are obnoxiously saturated in horny-ness Mice Tea avoids that by having a good sense of proper time and place for that kind of thing, it handles sex more like the way a romance novel would. Plus, the explicit content is meant to be optional and it gives you a chance to skip them entirely with a pop up containing warnings about kinks and potentially triggering stuff. Also everyone is in their mid twenties-mid thirties so yeah.

It's $20 on itch.io but it goes on sale on Steam occasionally. There is also a free demo version that can be found on either of those places.

There's something about the smugness and enightened centrism that makes it somehow more enraging than the mask-off queerphobia found elsewhere. To be clear, shame on the person who made the video. Its one thing to have internalized queerphobia, and its another thing entirely to put that out into the world and try to position yourself as "one of the good gays".

 

In a surprise move the Biden Campaign has announced that they will be abandoning Vice President Kamala Harris and replacing her with President Biden's legally embattled son, Hunter. During a noontime press release on Sunday Biden campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodriguez explained:

"Recent polling numbers suggested that we needed a course correction in order to win in the upcoming November election. Polls have found that Vice President Harris has been underperforming amongst potential voters and, quite frankly, she's cringe. We believe that Hunter will be key in courting the rich failson bloc that will be vital for success in the presidential race. Additionally, he is our only viable connection for a steady coke supply and we’re all jonesing for a hit right now. We are not taking questions at this time."

Kamala Harris was pressed for comment as she was leaving an ALDI supermarket in Fort Wayne Indiana. In response she laughed while she pointed to a shopping bag she was carrying and said "Jalapeños! For ninety nine cents! Can you believe it?" before ducking into a waiting limousine.

Hunter Biden remarked “Holy s--- I thought he was joking”
