Cancel Culture Crucifixion

This is a work in progress- but I had a uniquely different image of the crucifixion from the perspective of modern-day cancel culture. South Park did a great job illustrating the seemingly psychotic need for destruction lead by mobs of individuals towards a celebrity. In their take, it was a version of the alleged pagan human sacrifice for crop yield, but the architype of the bloodthirsty mob was expertly illustrated.  Raising someone up to idol status and then tearing them down seems to be a universal experience, not unique to our time.

One in particular was Drew Brees (former quarterback of the New Orleans Saints) explaining play call terminology on a talk show culminating in him calling the play, in all it's complexity, with verbal quickness. The portion of it that would appear to be impressive, is the tight window of time he has to do it. Given that AI has advanced so much to not only have very effective speech recognition, but also create a world of NPCs that are ever less NPC-ish (in a traditional game sense), I have an idea for the next generation of madden games. This combined with the era we live in with gam...

2025 - The Year of Boys

Anecdotal of course, but speaking at to nurses during checkups- as well as friends locally, apparently there has been a string of exclusively male births. Then the trend is slated to continue because everyone who is pregnant in our friend's network and on the cue at the hospital are also males. No, gravy or theories. Just thought it was kind of cool.  -Codd
