Why am I called that, you may ask? Well, I've got Irish in my family and the "Pete" part is a play-on-word gag for the peat found in Ireland. That's all.

At the leadership level anyway the two parties are "represents billionaires with openly racist beliefs" and "represents billionaires who have mostly submerged their racist and genocidal beliefs." Which is why you can't get any party leadership to sign up for transformative change the people want.

NEW: A Texas woman died after being denied an abortion and her family sued the state and her doctors for violating her right to life. They say the ban should be struck down. It's one of several cases challenging abortion laws under state constitutional rights to life and liberty @autonomynews.co

New Lawsuits Argue That Pregnant People Also Have a Right to Life
Lawyers are fighting abortion bans in state court by establishing that pregnant people have a right to life and liberty—or at least self-defense.

As most of my Doc Ock art is based on Spider-Man 2, I thought to show some love to No Way Home Ock with a very simple practice animation! I focused mostly on practicing animating Flo & Mo's movements/experiment more with layers/work on stabilizing lineart too! Had fun with it though! 8D

Film editing is 40% discovery and 40% instinct & emotion. The 20% that's left over is the only part that AI will ever be able to facilitate. This is why AI will never be able edit. It will be able to assemble in a format that resembles editing to a passive, uncritical eye, but that's the ceiling.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.
Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners
- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative
sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

They always come back to we can't because, "the US is sooo big." Canada has a larger land mass. "We live so far apart." Check our population density. Most of their ports of entry have HUGE populations "LE will shoot us." Thought they were armed to the teeth to protect that from happening per the 2A.
