If you look east, is there a weird, giant four-legged dino looking thing with its genitals attached to its forehead coming at you?

viktorwinetrout.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah, but it's just Jeff

aidenilkhani.bsky.social•1 day ago

...yeah, it's Jeff alright.

We've all been there, and I wish I could tell you that you're not alone but that would be a lie. You are alone. Always have been.

If it's a brown dwarf or a neutron star, good luck.

Have you read any of the Chronicles of Narnia? The villain comes to our timeline from a future earth with a dying sun. She’s absolutely dazzled by our sun. Poignant backstory.

cyranokale.bsky.social•20 hours ago

A little bit. But I’ve read all of the Solar Cycle by Gene Wolfe.

feralcat.bsky.social•20 hours ago

I’m not familiar with this. I’ll check it out.

Also there are no heroes. Just garbage and it piles up too high everywhere.

And we have to wait 4.5 billion years to collide with Andromeda. Sucks.
