I just got the Flu vaccine because I'll be traveling overseas soon, and I don't want to take any chances with endangering my health: especially since I got sick two years ago when visiting Spain, Gibraltar, and Portugal.

Entertainment companies really need to stop promoting and "contracting" AI-generated artists. I don't care how it "saves" money. It's a terrible look for the industry because it denies people like me and others the opportunity to demonstrate our skills and training.

KNOCK IT OFF!!!
