The invention of the devil is truly a marvel of social engineering. An external entity who can be blamed for your bad choices coupled with an all forgiving god means the people in positions of power never have to be accountable for their crimes.
In the church it was always "She/the devil tempted him" not "He used his position of trust and authority to assault her"
I'm sure there are plenty of churches that aren't like that, but there are far too many that are.
Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying
Autistic hyperfocus sounds cute and fun when people are making TikToks and meme posts about it, but it's a hell of a lot less fun when you can't sleep because if you don't glue the two hundred kandi bracelets on your dining room table RIGHT NOW, the world is going to meet an unspecified end.

Math fun fact:
For a brief moment, Elon Musk was a TRILLIONAIRE.
If you went back to the beginning of recorded history, 5,500 years ago, and you started punching Elon Musk once every second, 5,500 years later in 2026 you would STILL have not punched him as many times as he deserves.

Peter Cullen felt like a member of the family to so many of us. What an incredible legacy to leave.
