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.

“Support for bike lanes was near-universal — even people who came to ask the city to rethink a planned 79 Street bike lane in Hollyrood acknowledged their benefit and one motorist took the time to voice his support for them” edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Hands off our bike lanes, says critical mass of Edmonton cyclists

Amid rumours city scaling back bike lanes ahead of provincial bike lane legislation, Edmonton cyclists tell council to get their elbows up

Between the Province threatening to reduce traffic safety by removing bike lanes, & the CoE suggesting they don't want to finish the best parts of the Active Transportation Network Expansion, there is a lot going on. Join us for a protest ride this Friday, #yegbike! buff.ly/RLTWFCl

If it were not so, the painting of all those rocks would be torture, especially for someone like me with an impatient nature. 2/2 www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/do...

Another search for the light. Creating the illusion of texture in paint, the process of actually painting it, can be an act of meditation. 1/2

It's hard to fathom what Europe will live next week. Thousands of records will be brutalized in Spain,France,UK,Benelux,Germany,Swiss,Austria and than the East Paris might record 4 consecutive days 40C UK will ridiculize its June national record Germany 10 days 37C+ This is CRAZY

EXTRAORDINARY DAY IN FRANCE 45 DEGREES 345 MONTHLY RECORDS 147 ALL TIME RECORDS 41 STATIONS >43c This is an absolute insanity which completely rewrites European and World climatic history Thread with many pages with the records (courtesy of Meteociel) 👇 Worst tomorrow !

I get why this seems great & on principle, I agree. I've seen the rampant phone addiction amongst kids & it's frankly jarring. And that's not even talking about the exploitation. But play that out - It would mean giving your ID to people notorious for dogshit infosec. It would be a nightmare!

“A social media ban for kids under 16 will soon become law in Canada according to a new report…The ban is part of an online harms bill being tabled in Ottawa on Wednesday. An Angus Reid study found that 75% of Canadians support a ban on social media for kids under 16.” I support it.

Since people were asking for scarf / bandanas of my lens cloth art, I came home to a bag of samples! They’re way better than I thought, here’s the Anomalocaris one

“yeah i can tell it was AI generated. how? just vibes, yeah. it has that certain gen-AI sais quoi”

It’s down for maintenance. #yegfunicularstatus

watching The Price which is a fairly mid ep of TNG but it does have this amazing scene where some loser who’s fucking Troi tries to get into a dick-measuring contest with Riker, who straight up beats this dude to a pulp after trying not to play. Kirk coded behaviour I love him so much

BREAKING: Water not Coal (aka Corb Lund's petition) says it has reached the signatures required under the citizen intiative act. If signatures are counted and approved, it would theoretically lead to an 11th referendum question in Alberta this fall.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org
