Now, I have my issues with how school photos are done and there is nothing wrong with parents setting up their own shoots with their camera phones and whatnot but feeding the kid's face to AI and spitting out a "perfect" school photo is so... Do they even like their kid?

You can't get blood from a stone. Or from a Dark Elf like Nevox who fights back. But Apocrypha, Bloodskal Barrow, and the East Empire Company have different plans! Enjoy! youtu.be/OhO7znSD8CA #Skyrim #TheElderScrolls #ElderScrolls #Bethesda

🦇 30 days until Halloween... *Movie marquee and theatre display for Horror of Dracula (originally released as Dracula in the UK). Hammer Film Productions, 1958. 🎞

Horror of Dracula (1958)—originally released simply as Dracula in the United Kingdom—is a landmark British Gothic horror film directed by Terence Fisher. Produced by the legendary Hammer Film Productions, it is celebrated as the first vampire film ever shot in color (Technicolor/Eastmancolor). The movie catapulted Christopher Lee (as Count Dracula) and Peter Cushing (as Dr. Van Helsing) into global horror icons, redefining the vampire mythos with an unprecedented blend of vibrant color, visceral gore, and underlying sensuality.

Nevox is trapped inside Bloodskal Barrow! Surrounded by Undead, she finally solves a 200-year old secret. But can she live long enough to tell anyone? Or will she be another forgotten victim? #Skyrim #TheElderScrolls #ElderScrolls #Bethesda youtu.be/432MSBReMYI

Not making it up: Just boarded a Southwest flight and as I passed the cockpit, pilot and copilot were telling a flight attendant about being furries. Regrettably for the intellectual powerhouse that is the U.S. senator from Alabama, in the next breath they started laughing and called him an idiot.

A lot of these “country” people aren’t even all that rural and I wouldn’t gatekeep but they sing and brag about their wee yeehaw upbringing and whatnot, so I figure I have a right to sneer. Get your “city of 200,000 with a Costco, 18 Starbucks and a Whole Foods“ outta here, city slicker

For the record, I only like Outlaw Country and the 1960s and 1970s superstars my parents liked (Dolly, Waylon, Charlie, etc) and I hate Bro Country with the heat of a thousand suns and Garth Brooks was always cringe. Glad that settles that, I will return to my classical

1150: When Olde English stopped being spoken. 1597: When Romeo and Juliet was written (almost 450 years later). 1300s: When Romeo and Juliet was set during the Italian Renaissance. So this is a stupid, ahistorical gimmick by Eggers.
