Ballroom?

I hope everyone takes a good hard look at this picture. Trump’s under-construction ballroom is now bigger than the rest of the White House. Much bigger. The contrast says everything you need to know about this President and his priorities.

I'd never claim to be a hard surface deisgner, but once in a very blue moon I get to work on sci-fi stuff. Some attempts to ideate interesting spaceships with Zbrush from some years ago.

In (church of England) primary school they made me write a story about Noah but when I had Komodo dragons on the ark I was told ‘you can’t just invent animals.’

Now I want to know your childhood villain origin story. What radicalised you as a child? What filled you with a rage that lasted a lifetime?

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says having RAM in personal computers is a ‘terrible’ use of limited resources and that it would be better utilized in data centers "From a global perspective it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their computer"

in Dogs of War, the purpose of engineering killer cyborg animals was not because they were big and scary and effective, but because they could be disavowed after you used them to commit war crimes. Bad dog, have it destroyed, and the humans are left with clean hands.

Steve Davis really is the James Acaster of snooker.

It's a grim moment when "scam to get investment cash" is actually the best case scenario, as the alternative is bio-engineered murder dogs. This is the company that stuck a couple of genes into a wolf and claimed (/were reported to have claimed) to have recreated the prehistoric dire wolf

I've mentioned this before, but I adore this period in the 1800s when you could just say whatever you wanted about color. No one knows how it works or why, so anything goes. If you've got a wild theory and some illustrated plates, you're good to go!

Colour plates from Edwin D. Babbitt’s Principles of Light and Color (1878). Babbit’s 600-page tome begins as a somewhat sober primer on color theory but goes on to explore the idea that our physical and psychic ills can be cured via “chromotherapy”: publicdomainreview.org/collection/p...

I think we as a society don't talk about the dancing plague of 1518 in Strasbourg nearly as much as we should.

Artist Jeremy Zerfoss and I are working on a long story that takes the form of old-school video game still shots with A thru D decision points for the player and chatroom stuff below that advances the story as well. It's kind of liberating to be creating just the best screens of a video game.
