Mastodawn

Greetings from #Germany, native #English #language speakers, i come in peace! 🖖

We finally meet on equal ground; i've asked an #LLM (#DuckDuckGo / #DuckAI / #Mistral) to explain correct spelling, and comparison of AE vs BE.

👀 see screencap video demo - NO, it's NOT A #GIF! Your #Mastodon instances' UI might STILL misrepresent video/mp4 as image/gif - complain & +1 on #GitHub!

Apparently, it's wHicH, with 2 H!
Objections, anyone? (double-checking #AI #hallucinations.)

Yay, #InternetEnglish! 😅

May 16 Wikipedia featured article

Richard Harmon, who portrayed Erik Campbell
Erik Campbell is a character in Final Destination Bloodlines (2025), the sixth film in the supernatural horror franchise Final Destination, and was portrayed by Richard Harmon (pictured). Introduced as a grandson of Iris Campbell, who escaped Death in the 1960s, Erik is revealed to have been conceived out of his mother's affair and thus not in any danger. Despite this, while trying to help his brother cheat Death, Erik is sucked into an MRI machine by a wheelchair that crushes and impales him. The reveal of Erik's parentage was due to the film's crew wanting to subvert the audience's expectations regarding the order of deaths; a discarded idea involved twins. The directors were initially apprehensive about incorporating an MRI-machine death, but chose to include it due to positive feedback from the production team. Critics responded positively to Erik, describing him as a fan favorite and Bloodlines' best character, as well as praising his death scene and Harmon's performance.
