I've probably seen or read ten thousand hundred interviews in my life where a financially successful U.S. born gallery artist says some variation on "everyone always wants to know why I don't make 'pretty' things, but I just have to be myself"

Like not to be mean buddy but if you mean your own immediate childhood social circle or puritan parents just say that. Otherwise it can't be that many people outside stuffier boomer art critics. Don't get me wrong I truly like your giant vantablack beetle with the doll heads for eyes* but your pieces are selling for thousands or millions in a new york city gallery full of pieces like "toilet full of blood representing poverty" or "real human skulls painted happy colors" whereas your pieces are just goth in a country that makes 500 horror movies a year and now spends more on Halloween than on Christmas. There's places in this world where you might have been censored or even persecuted for making art that isn't church or government approved and the artists who claw their way out of that are goddamn heroes but you're from philadelphia. Heck I'm a middle aged man drawing rotten monsters since I was a silly little baby and nobody has ever said anything about them but "neat!" Have you heard of the internet in fact, we've got places where you could share an oil painting of a godzilla sized big titty baphomet impaling every pope in history on one of multiple giant dicks and get 50k likes before you hear one breath of disapproval.

I must point out at no point in these Umbrella Chronicles novel scenes did Chris actually meet or speak to Wesker. Hoe regularly talks to himself about Chris in canon.

Also need it known that Jill was there for the Tyrant Confrontation and is fighting alongside Chris the whole damn time.

I hope the remakes keep "Wesker ignores all women and refuses to speak to them for Chris" because it's funny and iconic.

Crisis pregnancy centers are unlicensed facilities that often pose as medical clinics to target pregnant people,” wrote the research team led by Maria Gallo, chair of epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Gillings School of Global Public Health.

If they are run by unlicensed medical staff they are not bound by HIPPA. In states that punish women for any pregnancy loss this can lead to disaster

Key Takeaways

As many as 1 in 5 women have sought care at a crisis pregnancy center

Data from four states show between 12% and 20% of women of child-bearing age have gone to such a center

The centers are unlicensed and have an anti-abortion agenda, researchers warn

THURSDAY, June 5, 2025 (HealthDay News) — As many as 1 in 5 women say they’ve sought care at fake medical clinics with an anti-abortion agenda, a new study says.

Between 12% to 20% of 18- to 44-year-old women in four states – Arizona, Wisconsin, Iowa and New Jersey – say they’ve sought care at a pregnancy crisis center, according to report published June 4 in the journal PLOS One.

“Crisis pregnancy centers are unlicensed facilities that often pose as medical clinics to target pregnant people,” wrote the research team led by Maria Gallo, chair of epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Gillings School of Global Public Health.

The centers “typically hold missions of preventing abortion, opposing contraception and promoting abstinence outside of marriage,” the team wrote.

More than 2,500 crisis pregnancy centers were operating in the U.S. in 2018, three times the number of abortion facilities, researchers said in background notes.

Both the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine and the North American Society for Pediatric Gynecology have warned that the centers risk patients’ health by failing to comply with sexual and reproductive health standards, researchers wrote.

“Because the centers do not have to follow medical and safety standards, people should not turn to them for medical care,” they said in a journal news release.

For the study, researchers analyzed survey data on nearly 9,000 women who’d either been pregnant or had a pregnancy test. They were asked whether they had ever gone to a pregnancy crisis center.

“We found that attending a CPC in each of the states was not rare,” researchers said.

More than 20% of Arizona women surveyed said they’d sought care at a crisis pregnancy center, along with 14% of women in Wisconsin and Iowa. About 12% of women in New Jersey had visited one of the centers.

“CPCs pose a public health risk by providing misleading, manipulative or inaccurate health information,” the study said.

For example, center websites falsely claim that abortion has been linked to breast cancer, poor mental health and infertility, researchers said.

“Given these findings, providers should be aware that their pregnant patients might have previously attended a CPC and might have been exposed to misinformation that needs to be corrected,” researchers added in the news release.

Alt face cast for the Corinthian?

this one is hard...i do think the Corinthian as a white man makes sense from a narrative standpoint, for reasons i have talked about elsewhen. also definitely thinking about how "Corinthian" is inextricably linked to Classics and the role that's played in formulation of "Western" subjects/identity (re: the Corinthian's U.S. southern accent and the ways he's almost uniquely U.S. American in his scope/influence). anyways i'm saying, if you need a feral white man to play your feral nightmare, Boyd Holbrook is an excellent choice.

that being said! Amir El-Masry has that casual, devil-may-care vibe that i think goes well with the Corinthian's impulsiveness and charm. also he rocks the white t-shirt and jeans combo. (all of his like, red carpet pics are...who is styling this man? why y'all putting him in these ugly suits?) clean-shaven with a tight fade and the top all curly? mm. good look. on the younger side, Jay Lycurgo has that rangy, tight-wound energy i imagine a young Coco would embody (plus he plays very...lonely characters and i do think of the Corinthian as fundamentally lonely). the feelings i have about a mixed-race Corinthian are...hm! did not know i could feel even more intensely! also on the young side but PLEASE look at his wikipedia pic because it exemplifies everything i'm arguing here: Xolo Maridueña. give him a few years and he'd be perfect. ALSO. AGAIN. having feelings about the Corinthian as played by a Latine, LA-raised actor - Coco 2.0 goes to Silicon Valley in Nightmare Country and he's...super LA vibes. the ways that being an LA-born-and-raised brown person allows you to move through that space in certain ways - you go unnoticed, you know the various streets, you have a familiarity with the area that could either render you as someone who belongs or as someone who might be otherwise "dismissed" as, say, "the help," which! affords you a degree of freedom if you're a Nightmare on the hunt, even as it maybe adds to the chip on your shoulder. (also then so many thoughts about brownness and risk/fungibility/survival.)

of course, this is all assuming that Riz Ahmed is busy playing Dream. because again, Riz Ahmed did the Corinthian's voice in the audiobook version of the comix.

My mother -- and by extension, my brothers and I -- qualify for German citizenship under one of their re-patriation laws because my bio grandmother was German -- as in, actually born and raised in Germany and emigrated to the U.S. as an adult, not in the vague way Americans will say "I'm German" or Irish or Italian when they have never been to the country. However, we would have to hire a German lawyer to go through the process, which my mom actually started, but it is soooo expensive. And even with the anti-trans legislation and possibility of losing the medication that allows me to work, I don't have the money to leave this country even if I wanted to.

Also, being deaf and learning a language that I find very difficult to hear scares me since I know from past experience I can't lip read French at all despite (at one point) being able to speak a little conversational French and I have a hard time understanding German compared to, say, Spanish or Japanese, which are both easier to hear with my disability. Then again, if you have citizenship in an EU country, then you can travel easily to other countries in the EU and work there more easily.

motion, aura, rizz, idk if it's my Place to Say This but it just feels weird being subconsciously aware that there's like a whole culture with aave that gives life to these terms and to see it explode every few months completely detached from the source. and to see people online be sometimes quite pissy with "oh it's just slang why does it have to be credited or acknowledged instead of being just mindlessly regurgitated as 'fun new word, cool to repeat and recognize'"

HAPPY B-DAY, "TRICKY DICK" -- WHO SENT 21,000+ U.S. SOLDIERS TO THEIR DEATHS IN HIS FIRST TERM.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on an original 1972 President Richard Nixon "Peace with Honor" parody poster.

"I pledge to you that we shall have an honorable end to the war in Vietnam."

-- RICHARD M. "Tricky Dick" NIXON (January 9, 1913 -- April 22, 1994)

NIXON'S DEATH TOLL: "Nixon’s decision to time military withdrawal from Vietnam to his reelection campaign cost thousands of lives. More than 20,000 American soldiers died during Nixon’s first term. The Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian death toll was many times higher. This is by far Nixon’s worst abuse of presidential power."

NIXON/VIETNAM OVERVIEW: "In the 1968 election, Republican Richard Nixon claimed to have a plan to end the war in Vietnam, but, in fact, it took him five years to disengage the United States from Vietnam. Indeed, Richard Nixon presided over as many years of war in Indochina as did Johnson. About a third of the Americans who died in combat were killed during the Nixon presidency. More than 21,200 Americans died in Vietnam and elsewhere in Southeast Asia in Nixon's first term alone.
