I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

The new Ze Frank video reminded me about an adaptation found in some entomopathogenic nematodes - using both their own muscle power and static electricity, they can leap into the air and home in on their host, like an anti-insect surface-to-air missile

Fatal attraction: Electric charge connects jumping worm to aerial prey
A tiny worm that leaps high into the air — up to 25 times its body length — to attach to flying insects uses static electricity to perform this astounding feat, Emory physicists have found.

I was feeling nostalgic about the first time I was on the internet, but I just realised Netscape was founded by bloody Marc Andreessen and I guess I can't even have my nice little nostalgia anymore

I like how despite The Economists natural instinct to praise the forward thinking CEO, what can't help but shine through is that the people having to implement AI into the actual work being done (not the CEOing) are finding it less useful than expected.

I don’t get it, why does making art become unsatisfying when you remove the part where your brain works and is rewarded with a sense of accomplishment

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

"How do I find my art style?"
I've been a creative pro for 10 years, this is the number 1 question I get.
They want creative work to be recognizably theirs in an instant-- like Miyazaki or Wes Anderson movies.
This is the formula for art style, it's much simpler than you think.

Very happy to have spoken to @michaeldweiss.bsky.social about the problems, shall we say, of having Russians write our foreign policy. The details are being confirmed now by major outlets. Get the analysis here.
