Leaning towards thinking it's not a coincidence that they pulled minesweepers out of the Gulf and ostensibly took control of Venezuela's enormous oil reserves before attacking Iran...

I don’t even know how to tell you this but my art is on a math book

I was gonna show you anyway. This is most of my new body of work, called Forces of Nature, going on exhibit soon at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social #sciart Black Hole, Ink on Yupo, 2026

#marchofthemammals2026 Day 2. Got out a desk lamp to help take the photos. Much better quality photo of yesterday’s entir.

The 12yo has declared it Lowland Streaked Tenrec Awareness Day! This spiky Madagascar mammal has poor eyesight & gets around by echolocation. They communicate with each other using high pitched squeaks made with specialized quills called a “stridulating organ.” I swear I am not making this up.

If we get the third set of teeth, do they push the old ones out, and do we get the same tooth fairy or a grimmer rebooted tooth fairy?

In the fall, I collected leaves to take photos, just in case I wanted to try making 3D models of them. I left them out for a while and kept surprising myself when I walked into the room and it looked like some serious witchcraft was going on. They would sometimes start spinning mysteriously.

If all the shitty celebrities and billionaires started paying rent for the space they take up in people's brains...that's UBI right there.

Enypniastes eximia from #InsertanInvert2025 in its final form (except if I get crazy and start adding gold detailing on glaze), utterly pink and shiny. Consensus at home is "Great job, we hate it !" #InsertanInvert2024, #SciArt, #pottery, #ceramics Color is not quite right, will do better pics

New work- aquatic plants- mostly invasive. These are paper sculptures.

This government clearly don't really understand the complexity or the danger of the situation. They show no sign of beginning to understand, and every sign of asking the monorail salesman how public transport should work. It's going to be an uphill struggle, but don't leave this to politicians.

how beautiful it is that giant sloths dug tunnels in solid rock. does anyone know if there are maps of these? i want to see what shapes they employ and overall patterns as a reference. www.bbc.com/travel/artic...

More progress, but I am too tired to finish tonight, going to bed now. This pieces are way too much work.

Just found this photo of watercolor paint under sunlight I took some time ago

Thank you for your #Feathers&Form #BirdoftheDay @alan678.bsky.social and @robcrank68.bsky.social Thanks to you and @grays.art, I have another opportunity to post this guy! #FlyDay #EastCoastKin #ReddishEgret #bird #birding #photography #photographersofbluesky #Florida

Kicking around the unicorn blob like a beach ball until it dies and decomposes into a horrible skeleton

Unrelated, but just now I looked up "shenanigans"... Collins Dictionary says it might be from Irish Gaelic "sionnachuighim", meaning "I play the fox", which would be wonderful if true. OED says "unknown origin" though.

I was puzzled when my last post didn't appear in the Graphics Programming feed, then remembered that the feed has been showing very little content lately. I guess this is related to the monetization of Bluesky Feed Creator. Feeds using the free functionality probably only see a fraction of posts :(

Seasonal real-time rendering experiment I did (radiosity-based lighting) within Shadertoy's constraints (not loading any textures or meshes, no compute shaders) #GraphicsProgramming #webgl #glsl #shader

Modest proposal: use "AI" to perform some token tasks on behalf of all the people getting UBI so we can say (to those who hate giving people money for no work) that the income is in exchange for this "work" (because apparently it's now acceptable to use "AI" for your job, right?)

Saw that the Wikipedia featured article today is on Emmy Noether: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmy_No...

It makes me happy that sometimes 2D Fourier transforms look like this... #math

Trying to debug code that renders intersecting spheres, using messy random data, instead of sensibly using simpler data to test it (but no regrets). #creativecoding #graphicsprogramming #glsl

Simple path-tracing renderer written for a math-y experiment (subsurface scattering model) but it can make fractal-like pictures too... #creativecoding #technicalart #shader #graphicsprogramming

The house stands at the head of the river. It breeds beetles. It is melodious.

The seed capsules of ice plants (Aizoaceae) glistening like watermelon gumdrops in the early morning light. At first I thought the plants were dappled with dew, but they’re actually covered with hundreds of transparent bladder cells that store water and sequester salt.

We made it this far Keep going ☕️

We've had a trailcam set up in the garden for a few months now, but recently there's been some hedgehog gold, like a cute hedgehog train, and a stray kitten being very surprised by a little hoglet

more zine assembly! this is a letterfold with a download key in it, which i think is a really nice way to distribute software locally.

Oof...I have to stop reading this Julio Cortázar collection (Casa tomada y otros cuentos) because it seems to include only his most unsettling stories, and I don't believe he would have wanted to do that to a person. Anyway, I wanted to read some kinder ones too.

“I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.”

seeing the Nobel Prize in Physics awarded for work on neural networks made me think of the Simpsons episode where Homer won a Pulitzer Prize for journalism (although iirc Homer started just making stuff up *after* he won the prize)

oh to be a mastodon sleeping in a four-poster bed attended by a chicken

An incredibly cute project sculpted for 100% Soft. Bodega Kitties! If you know, you know - shoutout to all of you in NYC. This blind box series will be debuting at NYCC - booth 1665.

no, not to the grid - a secret electricity market for billionaires who want to power their houses with vintage light from distant stars
