We de-extincted dire wolves.
Be honest.

It's a genetically modified puppy dog.
Thank you.

I find Colossal's work really interesting. At the same time, I feel that their public outreach is led by PR stunts, which puts the accuracy of the science communication in the background, and that really bothers me.

There are probably some good historical and media articles and books written on these topics out there that I'd be interested to check. If the science community has any recommendations, do share.

Also, I've been really impressed by the level at which theatricality had an influence during the French Revolution (and Reign of Terror).

And I feel like there's a certain level at which the spectacle and reality TV are playing a role right now. Case in point: yesterday's performance.

I've listened to several interviews with the author and it seemed like a good and useful read. Now I ordered it from the library, and will read it when it arrives.

I guess it's a good moment to finally check this book out.

It's shameful that the USA doesn't understanding how much it gets from having security deals, cultural impact, and diplomatic alliances. Never before have I seen so many of my friends here in Europe talking about boycotting USA products.

"America first" is quickly becoming "America alone".

I've seen a few posts about the sizes that work well for the new Instagram grid, and while I do think they are useful in their own right, I strongly urge you to make art in whatever format and size you want. Social media shouldn't dictate how you create.

Also, regarding the 'contact someone' part - is it time to make address books a thing again?

Teo Georgiev @teowithdoodles.bsky.social · Jan 29

Uninstalled Instagram for the time being from my phone. The 'Ad break' functionality is realky grinding my gears (plus, you know, the whole Meta political pirouette doesn't make it feel nicer).

If I need to use it for work or to contact someone, web interface feels less intrusive.

My grandparents had all the episodes of Walking with Dinosaurs (dubbed in Bulgarian) recorded on a VHS tape for me, and I played that thing constantly on repeat as a kid whenever I visited them.

Needless to say – I'm so incredibly excited to see this new release!!

So glad for people to get to see some of the animals I've spent the past couple of years looking after! I had the wonderful opportunity to design the looks of many of the species, and have worked on each animal in detail across the VFX process.

Walking with Dinosaurs premieres later in 2025!

A mother and juvenile Pachyrhinosaurus nuzzle each other.

Three Albertosaurus, the central one heavily scarred, emerge from the forest.

Once in a while I just search and look through these images, they're stunning.

I know this sentiment is well shared, but every once in a while I think about how beautifully powerful and inspiring these paintings are.

I'm very interested in how totalitarianism erupts. To be able to understand, I'm listening to this series (4 episodes):

Instagram blocked my scroll so I can watch an ad post for 5 secs, calling that an "Ad break". Thanks, I hate it. 🫠

Illustration of a little girl wearing a bucket hat and a swimsuit looking at seashells on the sand

Nighttime illustration of a boy wearing green, blue, and white striped pyjamas sitting on a desk and holding the head of teddy bear who is sat next to him. There is a book about space on the desk next to them, as well as a toy rocket and a cup filled with pens, brushes, and pencils. They are sitting in front of a large window, through which we can see the night sky and the Ursa Major constellation.

Illustration of a boy and a girl drawing on a single piece of paper. The girl is using a pink crayon and there is a variety of pink and round-shaped ideas coming out of her head (lady, car, flowers, hearts etc.) while the boy is using a purple crayon and there's a plethora of sharp-edged purple ideas (robot, lightning bolts, wolf etc.) coming out of his head

An illustration of a little girl running covered in mud splatters, followed by six happy boarlets, who are also covered in mud. There are three adults, two of which are stepping back in an attempt not to get muddy and looking shocked, while the third is raising an eyebrow in disbelief
