This right here. The app is absolutely useless and unnecessary. Just don't use it.
Just bought it. It's under two units. Just get it.
Edit to add: works on Steam Deck.
There were some pretty interesting changes announced. Brief rundown of the two announcements: Brothers can wear beards. Service is no longer mandatory and you don't have to report your time. Sisters can wear slacks to the KH and in service. Disfellowshipped people can be given a simple greeting and can be invited to meetings. Changes to how elders meet with people and dispense judgement. Changes to elders interacting with minors. Changes to the shunning practice.
A lot of people feel that this is in response to the government in Norway removing the JW Org from it's list of official religions and defunding them.
Here's a link to announcement #2. Check the beard! Holy crap! https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/global/2024-Governing-Body-Update-2/
That'd be cool. So much weird shit going on right now. It's like a car crash in slow motion.
The exjw subreddit has some worthwhile posts lately.
I haven't been using Reddit since the API stuff happened last summer, but when the GB announcement #2 came out recently, I visited the exjw subreddit and there is some great stuff going on there. I'm DF'd and have been out for a long time, but the posts over there have had me both sad and angry.

It is indeed Latin. Well, mashed together Latin, anyway. :-)

Just wondering at nothing.
...fascists get passes... That's got to be part of a song lyric. If not, it should be.
A trip TO the grocery store, or a trip AT the grocery store?
I hope you are enjoying yourself as well. :-)

Thank you! I'm super curious about these.
The wolf really brings it all together.

Are you familiar with how they fit with glasses?
Maybe a PICNIC error?
I'm going to have to say Naww, this isn't a fashion crime. This time.
I've been using a generative AI music app called AIMI that essentially creates one giant song that never quits. You can pick from a handful of different genres (all within the electronic type). It's pretty cool.
Get fucked, Epoch Times.
That's an interesting distinction; the Republican party OR the American people. Very telling.
Mutoid Man - Mutants
Another great album from Mutoid Man.
Kadabra
Got to see these guys last night in a tiny club. So. Fucking. Good. They'll be on tour in a couple of weeks supporting Bongzilla. Check here to see if they'll be playing near you: https://www.instagram.com/p/CsWjChqJp17/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==
I think they're saying that some of the berries look like smiley emojis.
Moonbather
Holy shit. If you need your John Garcia fix, this is the band for you. Spitting (vocal) image of him. Wow
Persekutor
I'm not sure what to think of this band. I like them, but...
Outer Head
From Bandcamp:
There was a time not that long ago when you could count the amount of decent British underground bands on just one hand but now they seem to be popping up every other day. Outer Head are both decent and British so go check 'em out.
testing a bot; disregard, will delete
This is just a test of the @autotldr bot.
Black Rainbows - Superskull
From Doom Charts: BLACK RAINBOWS at their absolute best. Listeners will not only find all of their signature high-octane, stoner rock and heavy psych, but so much more! BLACK RAINBOWS also shows a more melodic and softer side. Not only one of my favorite albums of the year so far, but arguably their best work to date.
Seamless texture: concrete and lichen
This is something that I made last fall, I think. Used Midjourney with the --tile parameter. The prompt was something about concrete and lichen. When tiled, it has some strong horizontal directionality. A person could always rotate it if they needed vertical or diagonal.
Replica Jesus - Echoes From The Expanse
From their site: Replica Jesus was established in 2016 by lead guitarist Howard Rigg, bass player Lee Barber and drummer Stu Cheeseman. They quickly realized they needed someone to front the band, with this position eventually falling to Mike Knight who has established himself at the helm as main vocalist and second guitarist.
Based across Derby and Nottingham their sound combines a plethora of influences combining the heavy riffs of 90’s stoner rock, the fuzz and feedback of grunge and the catchiness and groove of 70’s heavy rock. Influences include, Kyuss, Refused, The Bronx and The Jesus Lizard to name a few.
Misspelled a one word prompt...
Sometimes cool stuff happens when you spell something wrong. The entire prompt was one word: avacadopunk. Give it a shot, curious what y'all get with that prompt.
poppies
Poppies, dark background. Midjourney.
Another seamless texture
Been generating a bunch of seamless textures for architectural rendering and for fabric and wallpaper. This bunch have poisonous flowers as the topic.
Saint Karloff
There are so many influences present in this band. I can hear old Sleep, early Black Sabbath and maybe even some Kansas and a bunch more. Give this one a spin!
Gozu - Remedy
Yet another solid album from Gozu.
New toy gets here today.
Not the fanciest one, but wanting to try a cheaper one before I get a good one.
Jack Harlon & the Dead Crows
Love this band.
Elder - Dead Roots Stirring
Since the Elder post did well the other day, here's the album that got me going with this band. Just about wore this fucker out.
Witch Ripper
This one was on repeat for a while after it came out.
