I am proud to present you with an interview with an incredible @adapalmer straight from this year #Bazyliszek convention, now available as a #solarpunkPrompts special!

Hmm, the biggest difference between apocalyptic disaster and alien invasion movies and real life appears to be, in apocalyptic disaster movies there is almost always (usually) a functioning Federal government of some sort heroically trying to save citizens. 😢

This is an interesting read. As someone who spent at least some of my youth in evangelical circles, I'm very familiar with this endtime theology. Even theologically speaking, it's pretty much nonsense.

I remember well the Left Behind series which popularised it anew, and the tendency to believe the fictional narrative of those books.

Make no mistake. This type of fundamentalism is extremely dangerous when mixed with actual power.

CNN · Prophecy, not politics, may also shape America’s clash with IranBy John Blake

It's not something we think about it all the time... But we admit it's crossed our minds lately: Where would we go to wait for the apocalypse? (We have family in multiple countries and a couple of divorced relatives, so it's a real puzzler.) The folks at @AtlasObscura chatted about this for their podcast and came up with some — perhaps surprising — answers, from a cabin in Wenatchee, Washington, to, erm, Costco. Chat to us in the comments about where you'd go, and what you'd do.

Atlas Obscura · Where Would You Go to Wait for the Apocalypse?By The Podcast Team

A Brief History of the End of the F*cking World by Tom Phillips, 2025

This book is about the apocalypse, and how humans have always believed it to be very f*cking nigh. Across thousands of years, we'll meet weird cults, failed prophets and mass panics, holy warriors leading revolts in anticipation of the last days, and suburbanites waiting for aliens to rescue them from a doomed Earth.

Perhaps when the Internet is overrun by AI content to the point that it is unusable, humanity will be forced to exist again primarily in the tangible world, in smaller communities, where truth can be verified with our senses once more. Books will be on paper. Art will be drawn or painted. Movies will be replaced by live theater. As we revert to an analog world, the digital world will churn on, populated by ghostly algorithms until the servers run down.

I can't decide if this thought is optimistic or apocalyptic.
