After many years and a worthwhile wait, my Sona\Persona\Fursona (or whatever you prefer (I'm partial to the first)) is now alive!

Thanks goes to @bpictureLLC for the great job they did!

Since im not sure what to say on the anniversary on which @agermandergenn should still be walking this earth, I'll just repost what I had said earlier this year.

Even if I maybe don't have a right to say much about someone I never knew, I still wish his family and friends well, and that the hole in their hearts heals as much as it possibly can...

[🇺🇲 Retro Animale 🇺🇲 @RetroAnimale]

(Just realized I never posted this last Sunday like I had intended, it's my own personal thoughts, sincere condolences and little bit of venting about something personal...)

Back around April-May (I think) of last year I had decided I was going to make a concerted effort in trying to be more social in my life, even if in hindsight starting with Twitter was maybe not the best of ideas...

And of the people on this site I had considered following, but never did while he was still alive, was @agermandergenn. And I'm not gonna lie, there really is a part of me that's sad I never got a chance to meet him in any capacity. Especially since some\most of the people I follow on here not only knew him, a few of them even got a chance to meet him in person. So they not only knew how great of a guy he really was, but did everything they could to defend his honor when he couldn't anymore.

Since his heartbreaking decision to choose a permanent solution to what was a temporary problem, I've been trying to do more to get out the hole that is my shy and introverted self. Not just for myself, but for him and others that I'll never have a chance to meet. (It's also why like to boost any "never kill yourself" messages!)

And I'll admit I'm still not were I want to be, I still can be more quiet and slow to respond then I actually want to. And seeing some of the drama on here since even after October, including some personal life stuff, has made it more difficult for me to finally get out of my shell.

But hey they never said self improvement in life was easy, which is why I'm still doing my best, even now, to try and chip away at my shyness and social introvertedness. Cause like I said earlier if not for me, then for someone who I never met!

Anyway I'll stop yapping about this now, I just felt like I wanted to get this out of my system. And I hope he's not only remember by all who knew him, but that his grave lasts as long as we all walk this earth!

My friends... I have to get serious for a moment...

Last year, three days after the 4th of July, @agermandergenn (AKA James Gunther), one of my close mutuals, took his own life... He was a good soul, a great friend, and fun to hang around with...

To this day, his death still haunts me because I didn't know what was going on, nor did I find out in time... I still feel every ounce of guilt because I failed to save him, even if I had nothing to do with his death... I know it's not my fault, but I still feel responsible because I didn't find out until it was too late... If I did, then maybe I would have stopped him from taking his own life and saved him. I don't know... He had a whole life ahead of him, and had no idea how much he was loved...

We miss you, James Gunther... I hope to see you in heaven...

@ConservFurry99 Huh, so a hybrid of the American and Gadsden flags exist?

Neat!

[Spaceballs The X Account @Grunt2A]

The number of so called conservatives who support Flock cameras or who just think it's too much trouble to fight back is disturbing.

These cameras are a clear violation of the 4th Amendment of the US Constitution.

The government could not run this system as it would be blatantly illegal. But due to dumb precedents they can pay a private company to run the system and it's perfectly legal.

How does anyone not have a problem with that? 🤷🏼‍♂️

But whenever I say anything bad about Flock cameras I am guaranteed to get some numbnuts with a profile claiming to be a super conservative with a picture of the Constitution or something who claims there is nothing wrong with the Flock system and is upset that I have a problem with it

What the hell is wrong with people?!

This should be 1 of like 3 topics that conservatives and liberals should be absolutely united over.

Either that or Flock has a network of sock accounts that seek out complaints and argue with them online. I wouldn't put that past them.

Bottom line.... if you support the flock camera system you're an idiot. They will create a world you ABSOLUTELY do not want to live in.

Hideo Kojima on the end of physical disc production for video games:

"Since production is ending in 2028, this is about video games, but I grew up with physical media, so I find it really sad. Currently, I’ve been buying up a lot of Blu-rays, such as various movies, and CDs too.

The situation is different for games, as they are downloaded to the hard drive, that means the game data remains on your own hardware. However, if things shift to streaming in the future, that won’t be the case anymore.

With streaming subscription services, like Netflix or Amazon, there is a server somewhere, and you essentially just have the right to turn the tap, and when you do, the data flows out. That’s how movies work on these platforms, right? You don't download the data, you access it directly through a subscription. And the consequence of that is that you don't actually possess the data yourself.

There are companies that own these servers and let you 'turn the tap' for a monthly fee. However, with nations, politics and various ways of thinking, one naturally has to consider the possibility that if there is a change, the data inside will stop being distributed. And if that happens you won’t be able to watch or play the movies and games you like.

That is what is frightening.

So, what is happening to video games in 2028, might also happen to movies. I’d like everyone to keep that in mind."

The last time I saw this was back when the Disney Channel was still airing reruns of non Disney media (I think they usually played it around Easter funny enough), I'm tempted to maybe watch this again sometime since its been a few decades.

[Cute Critter Of The Day @CritterDay]

Since today seems appropriate for this may I direct you to a very weird but cute movie I loved as a kid!

The Adventures of The American Rabbit!

This film has everything a furry mafia, Garfield as a Gorilla,and an American themed rabbit super hero!!

"Hur hur, America is only 250 years old. Ours is older."

Happiest of all American Independent Day's on what is the U.S.of A's 250th!

Unfortunately I don't have any kind of commission piece to celebrate the occasion, so I'll just share a pic of this shirt I got recently (that yes, I am currently wearing for today!).
