📌 My name is Nick! I create many things:
▶ Furry, spooky, and NSFW illustrations (see #MyArt)
▶ Dark ambient, dungeon synth, harsh noise
▶ Visual novel
All of that and more, here: nickshutter.carrd.co

I'll use this post as an Important Stuff thread (art packs, album and game releases, etc.) 👁👁🡇

Illustrated reference sheet for the poster's fursona, a purple skull-headed bat monster. The text reads "Nick Shutter: Weird skull-headed bat monster. Representation of the self online. Wings are optional and can be fused with arms. Goopy blood that smells like a Halloween candy bucket. Play with proportions, bend bone to make expressions. Recognizable is better than accurate. Purple is default but no set palette or pattern. VR Chat model by Sadie Layton."

Then there's Russ Taylor. "It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement."

(Editor's note: Taylor was plead guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack. He was later pardoned by Trump.)

The answer seems to be "only if you want to pay $150." Everything else is either some cargo-sweats crossbreed abomination or skin-tight "slim" pants for CBT enjoyers

UPDATE: Following the firing of the director of the student newspaper, Indiana University has now cut the print edition of the newspaper entirely.

Indiana University cuts IDS print entirely, hours after firing student media director
By IDS staff
Oct 15, 2025 1:23 pm · Updated Oct 15, 2025 1:23 pm

IU previously directed the Indiana Daily Student to stop printing news coverage in our newspaper. Upon pushback, the university fully cut print, including our special editions. The IDS was not involved in the decision.

Media School Dean David Tolchinsky sent the order to IDS leadership in an email responding to its appeal that the school not censor the newspaper. And the dean attributed the decision to “the campus.” He has not yet responded to a message for clarification.

YOUR state troopers continue to assist ICE. Reel them in, command them to protect the community or stand down, or you're all talk and no game.

What exactly is the rationale for keeping the remaining "non-fighters" being held in "administrative detention without trial"? Is it for future bargaining? If so, how is that any different from a hostage?

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

The prisoners and detainees were released by Israel a few hours after all living Israeli hostages were returned from Gaza. The exchange marked the first step in a ceasefire that could permanently end the two-year conflict in the territory.

Before Monday’s release, 11,056 Palestinians were held in Israeli prisons, according to statistics from the Israeli NGO HaMoked in October 2025. At least 3,500 of those were held in administrative detention without trial. An Israeli military database has indicated that only a quarter of those detained in Gaza were classified as fighters.

Not sure about this case specifically, but it's especially prevalent in manufactured chocolates because of contamination. Leaded gasoline is common in countries cocoa is grown in, and cocoa is especially good at absorbing it.
