AT LAST A PINNED POST
I'm Davecat; my wife is the RealDoll Sidore Kuroneko, we're in romantic relationships with four other companion Dolls, I'm a robosexual, an activist for Synthetiks, keen on #メカバレ, very anti-MAGA, and pro-necktie. Of course there's other stuff I like, but the character limit is

A screenshot from Davecat's video presentation for the 2021 Love and Sex with Robots conference, which shows photos of him with Sidore Kuroneko, a RealDoll by Abyss creations from 2001, 2011, 2021, and 2012. In the centre is a shot of the two of them with the phrase 'Davecat & Sidore: Advocating for Synthetik/Organik partnerships since 2000'

Brainstem damage found to be behind long-lasting effects of severe Covid-19.

"Using ultra-high-resolution scanners that can see the living brain in fine detail, researchers from the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford were able to observe the damaging effects Covid-19 can have on the brain."

Brainstem damage found to be behind long-lasting effects of severe Covid-19

Damage to the brainstem - the brain's 'control center' - is behind long-lasting physical and psychiatric effects of severe Covid-19 infection, a study suggests.

It's starting to feel like a letdown here, yeah?
Looking forward to new/more illos, though!

Saw a great sculpture someone made out of plastic trash and other bits of discarded refuse. Truly amazing workmanship, very creative. Beautiful, even.

As a supporter of the arts, then, I emphatically recommend we generate as much plastic trash as possible

"But beyond any measures of popularity, Neural Viz counts as a historic accomplishment: It is among the first pieces of AI filmmaking that truly does not suck."

The Future of AI Isn't Just Slop

Behold Neural Viz, the first great cinematic universe of the AI era. It's from a guy named Josh.

TWO MASSIVE HILL FIGURES ENTER, ONE MASSIVE HILL FIGURE LEAVES

This is a question that's been unresolved for centuries, but who would win in a fight: the Long Man of Wilmington, or the Cerne Abbas Giant?

An aerial photo of the Long Man of Wilmington, a hill figure located in Easst Sussex, England. He is a chalk outline made in the side of a grassy hill that has a height of 235ft / 72m, and is a man holding a stave in each hand that is slightly taller than he is. He looks, as the kids say, chill.

An aerial photo of the Cerne Abbas Giant, a hill figure located in Dorset, England. He is a chalk outline made in the side of a grassy hill that has a height of 180ft / 55m, and is a bald man with a round head wielding a club in his left hand, and has a sizeable todger on display to God and man. He looks like he's ready to have a go, either in combat or in the bedroom.

Undoubtedly the most bizarre project Bubba Smith's ever taken on in his acting career!

Me, I'm still holding out for the Tim Burton adaptation of Mai, the Psychic Girl. (I am not actually doing this)

Wait... I had to look this up. They made an American live-action adaptation of Drifting classroom?? Who greenlighted this??
