The older I get, the more I understand the appeal of the high fantasy genre. As a youth, I was all about the future. Now I see the future is terrible and worsens daily with newly invented means. I would much prefer to spend a lifetime plucking a lute next to a waterfall watching the seasons change.

It was very cool meeting it for the first time.

There are many things that make living in Florida unpleasant. Hard winters aren't one.

Been quiet for a bit. But have some new music! It's a remix of one of my favorite tracks from the SULFUR OST, Caves 1. Give the game a whirl too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMVZ... #darksynth #cyberpunk #synthwave #fps #roguelite #edm

"I saw Certificate of Mortality and Death Registry at the House of Blues last year" (Me, reviewing a new interface with the state to automate notifications a person has expired with the director of informatics and a few C-suiters).

1st day back in the office since the holiday reno and facilities apparently unearthed a forgotten gift box from our friends. My director thought these were sent in 2024 but they might have been older. And yes, one of my analysts and I split one and ate it for science.

Enjoying the "winter" in Winter Garden.

This winter I purchased a penannular brooch so I can basically just wear blankets when it's cold. It's great, we should bring this back and you should support your local blacksmith by ordering one.

Feels good when you're done, but it's exhausting while you're doing it.

Tex Talks Battletech the Black Knight will soon be upon us. You just might find it under the tree on Christmas day. In the meantime, those Capellans aren't going to chop themselves up. Keep your eyes on the BPL Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/@theblackpan... #battletech

Deep thought while trying to use up stuff in the kitchen before I head south for Christmas: "Is Cheesy Texas toast just an open face grilled cheese sandwich?"

Happy Solstice ❄️

Why have winter blues when you can have winter #metal ?

Not normally a food pic guy, but this is what I was able to put together with the stuff from the foodbank my neighbor was going to waste (w/ $20 of extra groceries): Huevos Rancheros with sausage, fried onions and potatoes and fresh bread toast. Serves 4 to 8

Once or twice a year I take my 'touring' vest to a leather worker who has a shop south of downtown to get all my new patches sewn on it. I called his shop today to make sure he was planning staying until 7 and a recording let me know he had passed, heart attack in his shop. Rest in Peace, Sami.

An introduction post. I am a freelance concept artist and illustrator based in western France. I explore mostly sci-fi themes for movies, games and books. Furthermore, I am currently working on my first art book, a compilation of personal works.

Signs close to home the bottom is going to fall out this winter: First, middle of the day a former neighbor comes knocking looking for odd job work, cleaning gutters, mulching, etc. I take his card and tell him I'll be in contact after the oaks drop their leaves

Last #DND session for the year. Don't worry, we didn't let the little jerk be taken by the giant crab.

Don't let your memes be dreams, kids. I did the legwork so you can steel #Rockwellguy 's fit. I want a video of you in this cosplay standing up in church or a townhall and telling everyone how McDonalds should leave the McRib on the menu permanently or other important things

After seeing @twowheelsin.com review of the Carpuride 702 and seeing it go on sale for Black Friday, I pulled the trigger. My one ride review is: It's already been returned. Too many shortcomings to justify its purchase over the onboard but slow GPS of the HD head unit. (1/7) #motosky

I'm not just a big scary guy on a big scary black Harley. I'm also a big scary nerd in a black cape doing Christmas shopping at an indoor Renaissance Festival.

BEHOLD....MY STUFF! QRT with yours!

My band , The Dead Seasons, have just released their debut album on vinyl and CD. Be great if you checked it out. We’re 80’s goth sounding. #Goth elasticstage.com/thedeadseaso...

Small Business Saturday: A new patch for my touring vest just to mess with other bikers. Riding in the US South is like a fantasy LARP: Tail of the Dragon, Back of the Dragon, other Dragon parts, Two-headed Dragons, Dragon Slayers. Where is the 'Dragon Motel'? @mothsprout.bsky.social 's shop.

After 5 years of hard living, my Corbin Widowmaker was ready for a recover. Went with diamond stiched alcantara and I'm super pleased with the result. Can't ever recommend Corbin enough if you're looking for an aftermarket saddle. #motosky

Home for the holidays. We're real high class folks.

This episode is a gem and today is a great day to enjoy it for the first time or again. Also, hey Luigi.

Non-Battletech post: apparently it was the 30th anniversary of Ghost in the Shell (although I watched it on a crusty old vhs tape later) and it remains one of the most beautiful and influential sci-fi aesthetics of all time. Every single frame is a work of sci-fi art.

It’s transgender awareness week, so if you weren’t already aware, you are transgender

They got in the booze again ..

#Motosky, I'll be the 1st to admit that parking job was sketch, but I had a good reason: I only get the birthday cinimimon roll once a year. And check out the Bobber I saw. At first I thought it was a sporty chop but then I saw tuning forks on the air cleaner.

Time to come to terms with the inevitable normalization of AI companionship. Compared to people AI are low stakes, accessible, and they almost always provide positive feedback. They always want to talk to you and say the things you want them to say.
