@gabrielgabfonseca.bsky.social Did you make all the visuals for the Sojourn's solar system diagrams? I'm working on a BattleTech fan project, and someone I'm working with would love to know what program was used here since it may be of use for our project! thesojournhq.fandom.com/wiki/Centrum...

Turns out one of the big bosses in my company is SUPER EXCITED about using AI to do my job for me... even though I think it'd count as a breach of contract, since it's no longer being transcribed by anyone in Australia. I kinda feel like we're scamming WA DoJ. Seems dumb to scam a whole DoJ.

What the fuck. Why does orange marmalade taste like toothpaste? This is awful.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

I wish people would stop doing Donald Trump impressions. It's an admission of his uniqueness, his power, and the amount of interest which words spoken in his voice elicit. It fails to criticize him, and instead immortalizes him. It cements his presence in culture, and I don't want that.

He wouldn't just hate it, he would see it as a usurpation of him personally. He would be at war with it. He would have pictures of LLMs on his dart boards.

2am and the cat is freaking out chasing the shadow of a moth all over the room. It got away, so she tried to chase it. Here she is sitting on the window ledge, totally unable to find her prey.

If you, like me, want to watch payment processors suffer AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE? Call from the day before Black Friday to like the day before Christmas at minimum. I know it's hard to have a perpetual campaign, so think of it as just this month for now.

Morning, bitches! Remember, "the creator that made the <popular thing> which then became the backbone of an entire corporation, who then fired said creator and they died in poverty" is not some wishy-washy story, it's a very real warning. Make, and own, your own art.

If Amazon were to make a live action #BattleTech series about the Clan Invasion, I've got one casting suggestion:

I hate Christmas, but I don't go and make it everybody else's problem. If you, too, are a hater? You need lacey's implied advice. Let people enjoy things they love.

I would get so much more done if I had the self control to do this instead of fixate on where I'm stuck. I already do this with like [PLACEHOLDER NAME] or skipping ahead to other segments of a project. But this is the #1 skill I feel like I should improve just so I spend more time writing.

Brilliant celebration of a weird little game that couldn't, but damned if it didn't give me a ton to think about. Really love the work that went into all of this, the video and the game it's about.

... I feel like the writers got one over on the editors here, working in an even more foul word and getting it approved. Also, in my mind, very on-brand for Constantine to just say the most cursed word possible.

I submit that everyone should just put this on during Thanksgiving dinner this year

Please continue making calls to Visa and Mastercard, because they are working alongside conservative legislators to crack down on free speech and expression! A dual pronged offense requires a dual pronged defense!

This is giving such "We need to ban the libraries because they have things my innocent three year-old who's there by themselves for some reason might accidentally stumble upon!!" energy.

The Haunted Palace (1963) is a beautiful looking movie. Every shot is art.

I’m super happy to officially announce our next project, spearheaded by @threeohfour.bsky.social! “Gilt” is a sci-fi/fantasy game about a priest haunted by a dying God. Learn more (and wishlist!) over here: store.steampowered.com/app/3979770

He looks great! I think (and hope) Dick Van Dyke is going to live long enough to make biologists question the maximum human lifespan estimate of 125.

An attack on VPNs is nightmarish, ghoulish, completely unacceptable www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Step out to get some water and I see a mosquito just sitting on my cat's nose, biting her right in the nostril, and she's just totally oblivious to it. I grabbed it, but it survived and got away. Poor baby is going to have a very sore nose.

This is the greatest thing I have read all year.

Feeling a bit grim, so I pulled a darker quote for today's Sir Apropos

While I was writing my dumb as shit senior thesis on the role of HP Lovecraft in the development of horror fiction and how his writing gave insight into the anxieties of his era? She did serious historical work. Hers was on the Holocaust. That's just so fucked up. I'm tired. I'm very tired.

Donald Trump murdered this woman. His administration did it in the laziest, most callous, & most remote way possible. I don't care about the technical difference between murder/manslaughter. This was murder.

I had a friend who lost a large chunk of her teaching income because of DOGE. She & her husband struggled to pay for rent/food, so they started working gig jobs via phone apps. When Trump deregulated meatpacking, they both got salmonella & couldn't work. Today she died from a heart attack.

Yep 💀 the hypocrisy that you'd want someone to pay for whatever you're making when you haven't yourself is wild

Gab here explaining my problems in Australia all too well. This is why I use a chemical weapon that gets them drunk. Once the mosquitoes fall out of the air onto my desk, I only have to hit an unmoving target on two variable axes and one fixed (desk height).

"...displayed in the museum’s contemporary art gallery for several hours before sharp-eyed visitors caught wise to the con and brought it to the attention of staff." Couldn't even pass as real art for a couple hours.

I know it's not, but this just sounds like a season of Legends of Tomorrow.

Megyn: "I just really want to split hairs here about which children are MOST fuckable. And, well, c'mon. 5 year olds? Really what you wanna bone are those barely legal 15 year olds." No Megyn, barely legal means people who just had their 18th birthday. Not children 3 years away from legal adulthood

WHAT DO YOU NEED ALL OF THAT FOR YOU FUCKING RAT DOG LEAVE ME ALONE CUNT

Another great video from ShadesOfSlay. Highly recommend if you like cryptids or bugs that become spooky stories! youtu.be/IKwspXRwEvA

Bluesky Mods: *defends pedophilia* Centrists: masterful gambit, sir

How in the fuck

No, I don't want to take the pumpkins down from my display name. I plan to inject a Turkey with glowing green Jeffrey Combs Juice and invent a second Halloween. Christmas should be equally worried.

Me: "It's vital that rehabilitative justice be made available to everyone." *reads this post* Also Me: "I didn't say how available. Maybe a 15 minute visit before his show trial death sentence."

Hrm. None of what I did in this story worked. Needs a full re-write. Damn, writing for 1k words or less is difficult.

Just finished my next submission for Pirate Point, minus some editing passes. What's it about? I'll give a hint!

Cool. Windows forced through an update while I was asleep, and because I forgot to save the documents I was working on those are just fucked. Because I don't own my computer, Microsoft does.

The lesson Trump's admin has taught all of us is that comically evil characters in any piece of fiction might actually just be realistically evil. I expect Captain Planet villains to be appointed to the EPA if they haven't already.

Well, on one hand, you have Joyce Carol Oates an amazing author, while on the other hand you have Elon Musk, who puts books in his Juicero and drinks them on Joe Rogan to get the "Thought taste" out of them. It's much more efficient. I just don't know who to back.

It's all true... but the style of this meme is breaking my brain a bit.

I need to write another 1k word ghost story for #BattleTech in the style of a Coast to Coast AM radio show, but I've low confidence in all my ideas: 1.) Philadelphia Experiment 2.) Operation Highjump conspiracy 3.) Call-in episode about cursed/haunted 'Mechs 4.) Stare at blank document for 4 hours

I can really only go downhill from here. #BattleTech
