Meet the First Woman to Marry a Hologram
Meet the First Woman to Marry a Hologram

A Spanish-Dutch artist is set to marry an AI hologram this summer, with the groundbreaking union ushering in a weird new era of human-robot relationships.
Alicia Framis will marry her holographic partner, AILex, who was trained from the profile information of her previous romantic partners, according to a press release from the artist’s publicity team.
The press release said that the unconventional ceremony will take place at the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The ceremony will feature a “unique ritual for the union between a human and an avatar,” and guests will be served “molecular food that can be enjoyed by both humans and humanoid entities,” it said.
Framis, the artist and bride, is designing her own dress and also the clothing for the wedding guests.
Framis said the wedding represents a”new generation of love,” where humans will be in relationships with holograms, avatars, and robots.
While the wedding appears to be a form of performance art, Framis said it poses interesting questions about what a union with a holographic partner looks like.
“It’s interesting how we can get a mortgage to buy a new car, and now we can have a mortgage to buy a new companion,” she said in the press release.
She also questioned whether she could open a joint account with her partner and what kind of insurance coverage they would need.
She added: “Artificial intelligence companions and humans can be a beneficial option for people in need of companionship. This hologram will fulfill all my needs.”
According to the press release, Framis, who has posted videos of her cooking and eating with AILex, previously had a relationship with a mannequin named Pierre.
Framis claims she will be the first woman to marry a hologram.
In 2018, Business Insider reported on a Japanese man who married a virtual reality singer. None of his family attended the wedding ceremony.

Deranged Funeral Home Owner Kept Body for 2 Years
Deranged Funeral Home Owner Kept Body for 2 Years

A former funeral home owner accused of keeping a woman’s corpse in the back of a hearse for two years and hoarding the cremated remains of 35 people has been arrested, authorities said.
Thursday night’s arrest of Miles Harford, 33, comes in connection with the latest in a series of offenses by Colorado funeral home owners, including the discovery of nearly 200 decomposing bodies in a bug-infested funeral home facility last year. The finds have underscored the laxness of state funeral home regulations and have brought pressure on lawmakers to try to strengthen the laws.
A grisly scene of urns stashed around the Harford property, from a crawl space to inside the hearse where the 63-year-old woman’s body lay, was uncovered in early February during a court-ordered eviction at Harford’s home, police said.
While searching the property, police opened the door of the hearse to a “foul odor,” seeing the outline of the human body seemingly strapped to the gurney and covered by blankets, according to the arrest affidavit.
Harford owned Apollo Funeral & Cremation Services in the Denver suburb of Littleton, police said, and the hoarded cremains appear to be those of people who died from 2012 to 2021. The funeral home has been closed since September 2022.
A warrant lists potential charges of abuse of a corpse, forgery of the death certificate, and theft of the money paid for the woman’s cremation, though Denver District Attorney Beth McCann said previously that other charges are possible. Harford was released from custody Friday after briefly appearing in court by video.
Available court documents did not yet list a defense attorney who could comment on Harford’s behalf. No voicemail was set up at a telephone listing for Harford, and he has not responded to emails seeking comment.
Police interviewed Harford the day after the Feb. 6 discovery, the arrest affidavit shows. Denver Police Cmdr. Matt Clark previously said that Harford acknowledged to police that he owed money to several crematories in the area and that none would cremate the woman’s body, so he decided to store it in the hearse. The deceased woman’s family told investigators they were given what they believed were the woman’s ashes, which have been turned over to a medical examiner’s office.
When an arrest warrant was issued for Harford on Feb. 12, however, the suspect didn’t turn himself in. By Thursday, police still couldn’t find him and offered a $2,000 award for information leading to his arrest.
Authorities were able to “possibly establish” the identity of 18 individual cremains, according to the arrest affidavit. Police also discovered online reviews of the funeral home with a number of complaints. The families cited poor communication from the company in giving back the remains of their loved ones. One family said they received ashes in an urn labeled with the wrong name, the document shows.
Other Colorado funeral homes have allegedly sent fake ashes to grieving families.
Harford’s arrest follows the discovery of 190 decaying bodies in a building run by the Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose, Colorado, about two hours south of Denver.
A married couple who owned Return to Nature are awaiting trial in Colorado Springs following their arrest last year on allegations they abused corpses and gave fake ashes to relatives of the deceased. The operators of another funeral home in the western Colorado city of Montrose received federal prison sentences last year for mail fraud after they were accused of selling body parts and distributing fake ashes.
More than two dozen additional criminal cases and complaints involving Colorado funeral homes since 2007 were detailed in a January report to lawmakers from state regulators. The cases included mishandled bodies, mislabeled remains, ashes never being returned to families and improper embalming of bodies.
During a Colorado House committee hearing Wednesday, the executive director of the state agency that oversees funeral homes, Patty Salazar, said that current laws and regulations have failed people in Colorado, and there is a general understanding that the state needs to do better. Other states run annual inspections of funeral homes and require those who operate them to pass a test or get a degree in mortuary science. No such rules exist in Colorado.

Satan Followers Make a Shock Move – If Red State Passes New School Law, Here’s What They’ll Do By Mick Farthing|February 29, 2024
Satan Followers Make a Shock Move – If Red State Passes New School Law, Here’s What They’ll Do

In the battle to save American values, red states are leading the charge. Many Republican-controlled state governments have recently passed laws that strike a blow against the progressive left’s agenda.
They have protected children from transgender activism, secured pro-life victories, and defended their communities from Biden’s border crisis.
But the left never seems to fail at finding new ways to erode traditional, American values. Red state Florida is looking to pass a law that will allow volunteer chaplains in public schools. This would allow Christian pastors to help students in need. And guess who is already gearing up to spoil this plan?
From Tallahassee Democrat:
As legislation that would allow volunteer chaplains in Florida public schools nears passage, The Satanic Temple says it’s looking forward to the opportunity.“Any opportunity that exists for ministers or chaplains in the public sector must not discriminate based on religious affiliation,” wrote The Satanic Temple’s director of ministry, who goes by Penemue Grigori, in an email.
The Satanic Temple of Florida is already gearing up to send chaplains into public schools, should the Republican-controlled legislature pass a new bill. The “religion” went out of its way to say that a law that gives one religion a right must be applied to all religions.
The Satanic Temple, which has chapters in nearly every corner of America, claims it does not worship Satan. Instead, it claims to be a mostly atheistic group that does not believe in “superstitions” like faith in God.
However, the group extensively uses Satanic imagery, including statues of pagan deities often associated with the devil by Christians. At the very least, the group is trying to antagonize and mock Christians. At the very worst, it is a poorly disguised worship of Satan.
Either way, it is likely the group issued this statement to undermine the passage of the bill. There are far more Christian and Jewish institutions in Florida than the Satanic Temple. While this “church” might be able to provide some chaplains, they will be greatly outnumbered by pastors.
Their attempts at “doing good” in the name of Satan would be dwarfed by the many churches and Christians entering Florida public schools. Fearing this, they might be trying to discourage this bill.
Key Takeaways:
- The Satanic Temple of Florida said it would put chaplains in public schools.
- This comes as the state plans on passing a new bill that allows chaplains.
- The Satanic Temple claims it does not worship Satan but extensively uses Satanic imagery.
