Saturday night horror marathon

for bixgirl1 I was going to draw some sketches for her for ko-fi, but decided to go a little further.

 The art was drawn for the Fandom Kombat 2020. This is a great team challenge that I have been playing for 10 years in a row. You can see the work of other artists here, there are many great HP art! LINK If you like my art you can buy me a Ko-fi

No, but this may be my favorite Buck looking at Eddie all dreamy, because Buck is like that because Eddie said he missed him. It's such a simple thing in comparison to everything that happened to them. Nothing is about to blow up, there wasn't some big revelation, or some deep shared trauma, Eddie just teasingly told him he missed him and got Buck to look like that. They don't get simple, they don't get easy, but they get it at this moment, because at this moment they are just 2 best friends talking about life and plans for the weekend and it makes me want to bang my head against the wall.

Don't get me wrong, I don't give two shits about the English Royal Family, but this PR crisis they're in right now is just wild. Every time you think they're done digging themselves deeper, they haul another bucket of shit up from the bottom of the well they're in.

Is Kate dead? Of course not. Is the PR team still, for some inexplicable reason, acting like they're covering up her murder? Yes! And I for one find that fucking hilarious.

Per previous tags--

In this model of Tesla, apparently—get this—according to the Tesla manual, you do it on a touchscreen.

Did a human being just die because of swiping the wrong way?

...And then, when you're in the water and the car's power systems (which operate the doors, because of course they do) have all gone down, how do you get out?

You partially disassemble the door and pull out one specific wire. The image via Warren Terra at Bluesky.)

...I don't know about the rest of you, but I am never getting into one of these alleged vehicles. Ever.

...you know, we've been saying that these things are deathtraps, but holy SHIT

I feel compelled to point out that the diagram above is for the back door. I still don't know where to find the wire to open the front doors.

This is why anyone who actually works in tech (being a tech ceo does not count as working) is wary at best about making things "smarter". The failure mode for a computerized mechanism should be functioning as a non-computerized mechanism, but very often the failure mode for a fully-smart device is undefined behaviour that the manufacturer doesn't intend for you to ever see. And that means there's no recourse in situations like this.

In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

the lowest tier, which costs 9 dollars, offers a week of connection while the very next, 16 dollars, will provide a full month of contact with the world to someone who desperately needs it. this is not some idle step. an entire month is a huge length of time for people who are displaced, terrified, and isolated.
