Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

'It's offensively cheap': How solar power is quietly becoming bigger than nuclear

After defying projections, solar's dramatic growth means it is overtaking nuclear as a global power source. Here are seven reasons for solar's success, and where it might go from here.

Your favourite bike lane will be removed!

Legislation is expected in the next two weeks instructing the City of Edmonton to remove ALL of Edmonton’s bike lanes.

The UCP might make Edmonton pay up to $170M to rip out its own bike lanes. I've heard reports that the UCP has been asking for costs of full network removals. City numbers put that at $150-170M This is the same gov't that just spent $130M on a glorified opinion poll.

Lula Goes HARD

Alli DeJong@allidejong.bsky.social · last wk.

Lula closing this election by saying that no sniveling nepo baby who never worked a day in his life was going to stand there and call him Nine Fingers when he lost his finger WORKING and how dare he insult the workers of Brazil… was about the sickest thing I have ever seen in my life

The mantis is called the 'rice-pounding grasshopper' in Thailand (ตั๊กแตนตำข้าว), from the motion of its raptorial forelegs resembling the traditional manner of pounding rice to remove the husks. This one was drawn with this very brush.

THE WITCHING TREE (2019) Acrylic on Illustration Board - 6” x 6” An accidental shape on a scrap of illustration board evoked a sort of Lovecraftian tree. The board originally had a figure sketch on it from the work I did for Lucca Comics & Games.

Just reiterating what I've said before: buttondown.com/charliejane/... If any trans people allow ourselves to be portrayed as the "reasonable", "sensible" ones who don't ask for real equality, we give fuel to this notion that radical "trans activists" are out of step with most ordinary trans folk

so they invent this mythical figure of the trans activist—very radical, very powerful, utterly illiberal—sepeperate from 'ordinary' trans people they're the ones who went too far, who provoked all of this, left sensible centrists like them no choice but to speak out

What unfinished business do ghost peppers have

“The former PC MLA from Edmonton-Castle Downs and provincial cabinet minister, known for his flamboyant hair and flashy and confrontational style in the Legislature, took a very public stand against separatism early in this latest round of the Alberta independence debate.”

This month The Printmakers Matrix contest theme is harvest, so I thought I would submit this print I made for my Manufactured Ecosystems art show about the future of pollinators and pollination. Every crop in my 16” x 20” linocut is one we harvest here

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

This Alberta provincial government wants to do everyone’s job but their own. Poorly They don’t know what they are doing and don’t care. It’s not good governance they are after, it’s populist politics - which it seems they discard as soon as they wring people out of their money and attention.

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

Over the past couple years I have gone from bemused skeptic to an unironic fan of the World Famous Gopher Hole Museum in Torrington, Alberta and the tiny team keeping it going. This is such a bummer!

All the spaceships from For All Mankind and Star City in one article! That's a lot of spaceships from an alternative universe, and concept art, and cool stuff. 🖖 This is just a (very long) overview, but expect to dive deep into the creation of these designs in the coming weeks and months.

My advice as a science illustrator is that if you ever get a chance to draw the Cambrian explosion, you should go all in and spend hours researching every single one of these insane animals. 🦞🐙🦀🦑 Evolution is such a trip. I'm so grateful to have briefly existed on this gorgeous planet. 🤯 #sciart

We’re not going down without a fight

At the beginning of the month Drexel University made public that they want to close the Academy of Natural Sciences at the end of the month. The academy is the oldest natural history museum in the Americas and this would end more than 200 years of research and outreach.

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.
