Instead of Rayford Steele talking about abortion, here is a video of a snowy egret riding a capybara

In our journey through the pages of Nicolae: The Rise of Antichrist, we have arrived at a long sequence in which Rayford Steele lectures wayward woman Hattie Durham on the evils of abortion.

This needs to be addressed and, by God, I aim to address it. But I’m just not quite prepared to do that today.

So, instead, here is a video of a snowy egret riding a capybara.

A full-grown capybara can be more than four feet long and weigh more than 140 pounds, making it the largest rodent in the world. (Rat-bastards like Rayford Steele are larger, but not technically part of the order Rodentia.)

I like capybaras. They are gentle herbivores. Like humans, capybaras have lost the ability to synthesize vitamin C and are susceptible to scurvy. Unlike humans, they are incapable of sanctimonious lecturing, of delusional assumptions about the motives of others, or of promoting the misogynistic belief that women are intrinsically untrustworthy and inferior. Capybaras engage in coprophagy — meaning they eat their own droppings, but they never attempt to force others to consume their droppings.

These are just some of the reasons I prefer capybaras to pages 293-299 of Nicolae: The Rise of Antichrist. But I will try to steel myself so that I will be able to Steele myself next week.
