Everything is so dumb.

They want to close down the main freeway that connects SD/Mexico to LA. Because. um. They want to fire real munitions from the ocean, onto the base? As a celebration?

And conveniently it's on the same day as the No Kings protests. Our little tinpot dictator.

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office is weighing whether to close parts of Interstate 5 beginning Friday amid concerns over what it says is a White House-directed plan to use live ordnance during a military anniversary celebration off Camp Pendleton’s coast in San Diego County — where Navy ships are expected to fire over the freeway onto the base.

Newsom’s office has received, but not confirmed, reports that live ordnance will be fired from offshore vessels during the event commemorating the Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary. The event is titled “Sea to Shore — A Review of Amphibious Strength” and will feature Vice President JD Vance.

Prior to PT, the extent of my SAM knowledge was from grinding fates.

After getting the PT solo clear, I can confidently say. I still don't quite get what some of these buttons do i think some of them are mutually exclusive or something but i don't get exactly how, sometimes they just stop being lit

lrp very important addendum, "learn to laugh at yourself" does not mean "relentlessly self-deprecate". a person that can accept their own foibles with grace is charming. a person that is always putting themselves down is exhausting

We learned that if you run out of time mid-pull in the Quantum duty, it just.... lets you stay there. Forever. You are invulnerable and cannot be affected by any mechanics. Our pull timed out at like 3m30s and we saw all the way through enrage.

Anyway wow i wonder what the emergency maint is for.

Soooo my boss is quitting next month lmao

I'm so conflicted, I liked him a lot but also recently it has felt like such a struggle. But also he has always been super relaxed about things, and who knows what his replacement could bring

Sea 🌊 <The Enlightened> @seaguardxiv.bsky.social · 16d

My boss feels like a completely different manager compared to a year ago, and I can't help but think that a LOT of it comes down to his brain being cooked by genAI.

It's so fucking depressing.

Hey! Your dog's ID tag should have more than just a phone number!

A neighbor and I found a senior dog wandering the street and his collar had a phone number that just kept going to voicemail.
No name, no address, no email, don't even know the dog's name.

HOWDY AND HELLO #PortfolioDay I'm Kate, a freelance character artist who loves drawing fantasy, women, and especially fantasy women!!!!
I'll be open for work at the start of November!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with deep blue skin, closed eyes, tall curved horns with a glowing crescent moon between them, and long wavy hair going from indigo at the top to pale gold at the ends. She is dressed in an indigo gown with lots of gold trim and accessories and sheer blue accent cloth. She is holding a large golden greatsword with blue roses and purple thorns around the guard. The background is an art nouveau-style circular graphic of gold celestial motifs on a black to maroon gradient.

A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with teal skin, darker turquoise hair in a braid, closed eyes, and a long tail. She is dressed in layers of red, gold, green, and turquoise, and she is holding a wooden staff with a golden lantern hanging from the top. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of stylized grass, lotuses, and clouds on a sunset gradient.

A color illustration of a gorgon woman with light and darker green skin/scales, long dark green cobra hair separated by narrow horns, and a long tapered tail. She is dressed in a dark green bustier with gold trim and lots of accessories, and she is holding two crossed swords behind her head. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of thorns and ivy on a black to yellow gradient.

A color illustration of my changing moon Lunar oc, Emerald, from an exalted game. She is a middle-aged woman with fair skin, emerald-green eyes with striking red eyeshadow, and long iridescent black hair partly held up by a golden comb with the rest pulled over one shoulder. She is dressed in an elegant green gown with puffy sleeves and a boob window, lots of gold and green jewelry, and a translucent green and gold floaty scarf thingy. The background is a simple green gradient with a crescent moon behind her head.
