Welcome to Generation Apocalypse. For a long and somewhat rambling introduction to what this is all about check this out:

WELCOME TO GENERATION APOCALYPSE! - Generation Apocalypse
Hello, I’ll be your guide. My name is Nat Murphy and I’m putting together a little project. Or getting it started anyway. I’m not sure what it’s gonna end up looking like in six months (hopefully not ...

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the Stress and just need to do something but you fear that you are too Boring or Normal or Mediocre to set forth on some sort of Life-Altering Adventure?

The Pups Who Claim To See What Fate Decrees is here to give you a bit of Tough Love and a Pep Talk to boot:
pup meme horoscope: The Stars Your Destination: Born Under A Sign Most Mundane The pup meme is: profile of a malinois with a very awkward smile. It’s captioned: “they told me to smile. So I’m smilin... I’m smilin.” The title is: the time is nigh to permanently doff your "Everything is Ok" mask The text is: as far as your concerned, boats are made for sailin and not for rockin - which is some of the best possible advice for real boats and the worst possible advice for metaphorical boats. so, unless your continued existence requires you maintaining your balance in what realistically would have to be an incredibly small boat - start rockin. face it: your basic life strategy of "do nothing and hope everything gets better" is a death (or worse) strategy for the apocalypse. we understand your concern that your core of mediocrity just isn't up to the task of heroing through an apocalypse, but that brings us to the second thing you need to face: some people were born to be the forgettable member of an actually interesting person's entourage. That's you. aim there, you've got what it takes to make it. we believe in you!

In Cumbrian dialects, 'broc' is badger

Badger is held in high esteem and 'brocan' means wise man. In lore, badgers protect against witchcraft and other evils

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.
Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert
When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

Do you associate "daily life" with "bad luck"? Then perhaps you were born under a Foreboding Sign! Here is your horoscope for the days that are Oppressively Normal:
UNDER MUNDANE CELESTIAL ALIGNMENTS: Born Under A Foreboding Sign The pup meme is: a cute little puppy who looks very sad and pathetic. It’s captioned, “I heard someone say, ‘Buck up there, buck-o’ ... Am I...am I the ‘buck-o’?” The title is: Are You The "Buck-o"? The text is: Life won't stop kicking you in soft & sensitives and then telling you to buck up about it. it feels like you're gonna be the buck-o forever - what gives, life? a little forehead kiss every once in a while too much to ask for?

I've been cleaning and reorganizing my column -

if you're curious as to how witty, charming, and debonair Fate will allow one human to be, then you should check it out.

I doubt you'll find an answer to that but you might just find something else interesting to chew on.

Orson Welles’ Lost Movie Will Use AI to Reconstruct Missing 43 Minutes
Since the rise of generative artificial intelligence in 2022, the technology has mostly been plugged into parts of the production pipeline as far as its deployment in Hollywood. Think visual effects, dubbing and storyboarding. As it stands, it’s mostly thought of as a tool to streamline certain processes and cut costs.
