I’m still annoyed that a few years back I was looking for a new bedside alarm clock because my 20+ y/o one died & I COULD NOT find one that wasn’t WiFi/bluetooth enabled. Most required a WiFi connection to even display the time, b/c it auto-updates to current time zone.

…raided Hell AND the Broken Heavens to rescue the soulmate of a fellow demigod, and defeated an Old God Titan. Plus Thrush himself improved the fertility of the land for an entire country and grew/built a Garden of Eden “afterlife” for his worshippers. The pantheon elected him Head God

Also, here’s a character I played in a game of Godbound: Thrush Karoktesh, an orc elevated to godhood, his domains were Might, Flora, Mind, and Sorcery. His pantheon closed several rips in reality that let abominations into the world, launched a 2nd moon to stabilize reality & Magic…

A bearded orc with barklike skin in his arms and with flowers sprouting out of his beard & hair. In one hand he’s carrying a sizable boulder and in the other he’s carrying on open tome that he’s reading. He wearing dark blue loose pants and a medium blue tabard, both of which are embroidered in white.

In the middle of a bad depressive episode. Have had to leave work early twice because I couldn’t handle it. My psych wants to put me on a new med, but I have to reduce the dosage on one of my current meds for 2 weeks first. So this is only going to get worse before it gets better. So. Fucking. Fun.

Some of you may not know, but my career really took off in April 2020 when I started offering commissions. The main feature was Nebula Teapots. Sometimes it really hits the spot to have the singular focus of creating a painterly nebula on pottery ☺️

Re: the AI Doomsday stories: *EVEN IF* they had developed strong AGI (which I sincerely doubt LLMs/genAI will lead to), it’s not going to make bioweapons or nuke cities or anything, because all of that requires humans to actually make/do them. Design the stuff, maybe. Do it, no.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

In the age of internet anonymity & social media narcissism, I think a lot of ppl forgot that being nice to others usually has them reciprocate. Just like acting like an ass gets ppl being an ass in return. Humans have social reciprocity almost as default. Act that way!

Oh it absolutely is. Almost all doomsday preppers are. Guns, beans, & glory is the Lone Savior myth taken to the extreme. Real survivalists are training up a variety of no/low tech skills and fostering communities of people to come together to survive as a whole.

Hell, my apocalypse survival plan is not to. I’m *extremely* dependent on a large scale functional civilization existing to make my meds that keep me alive & functional. The *best case* for me in an all-out nuclear war is to be at ground zero of one of the first volley. Instant instead of slow death

And I guaran-damn-tee none of them have learned any ACTUAL apocalypse survival skills like farming or weaving or foraging or advanced first aid or etc etc etc. Stuff rots and decays. That’s immutable entropy. What happens when the clothes are unwearable? When the meds run out? When no more ammo?

I find these bunkers/complexes *fascinating* in the assumptions they make. For instance, this one has diesel to last 2.5 years. What happens then? Do they assume that they’ll randomly find a diesel tanker truck or 12 2 years into the apocalypse? These things are usually in the middle of nowhere

Drewbear 🏳️‍🌈🐻 @drewbear.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

“We have enough diesel to last 2.5 years.” And after that? These things are almost always put in the middle of nowhere. Do they think they’re going to conveniently come across a tanker truck or 12 full of diesel 2 years into whatever apocalypse they’re imagining?

You may have seen this pop up. It’s a sensationalized headline. The exception for bestiality is if it happened before you turned 18 & is intended to not exclude ppl who’d been sexually abused as kids. Doing it as an adult is still a disqualifier. www.mediaite.com/media/news/f...

FBI Reportedly Loosens Hiring Rules So ‘Prostitution and Bestiality’ Are No Longer ‘Automatic Disqualifiers’

The FBI has reportedly relaxed hiring standards that previously automatically disqualified applicants who admitted to hiring prostitutes, engaging in bestiality, or stealing from an employer.

Drewbear 🏳️‍🌈🐻 @drewbear.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Eh, it’s a little more nuanced than that. Supposedly, the beastiality exception is only for those who engaged in it before turning 18 & is intended to not exclude kids who were sexually abused. Doing it as an adult still excludes you.
