That a surprising amount of Michael Jackson’s adult career was just him riffing on one Bob Fosse dance routine.

I seem to recall reading once that Jackson said some of his moves were inspired by Charlie Chaplin.

Prostate examination of an Ewok
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

AI porn isn't considered porn in the same sense of content involving real people.

That's bizarre. Cartoon, animated, and written porn are all considered porn and the content doesn't involve real people. I wonder why AI is the exception.

The last widow of an American Civil War veteran died in 2020. And the story behind it how this happened is oddly heartwarming.
