10 of the world's most spectacular treehouses
Tree houses are "at once symbols of escape and agents of return – part childhood daydream, part ecological manifesto… There's something about rising above the ground – however slightly – that shifts our perspective."

'It feels like entering a folktale': 10 of the world's most spectacular tree houses
Treetop living is not just for kids. These architect-designed, "nest-like" dwellings – created in forests all over the world – are the ultimate sky-high retreats from urban living.

We experienced a truly incredible moment at the aquarium when this octopus decided to be a total jerk to its tankmate.

Started thinking how you could adapt somethings like Westworld, Sliders, Dark Matter, Bioshock into a ttRPG.
The idea of multiple worlds, potentially with slight rule changes within a single campaign as the characters move through them, is driving me nuts.

Really surprised that #Bioshock never made it to become an official TTRPG. Those settings and the plasmid system are ripe for it.
Would you kindly let me use the IP?

It’s funny, when you look at it from the outside in, that groups of people will argue passionately over made up stuff that came from someone else’s imagination.

Can someone let me know if 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a shaky iPhone camera job, or did they use a steadicam for filming this time?

Loved running SETI@home on my PC at the time!
You could run similar on a PS3 too back then.
I think EVE Online also has an ongoing citizen science research project, too.

For 21 years, between 1999 and 2020, millions of people worldwide loaned researchers their computers to search for signs of advanced civilizations in our galaxy. Now, scientists are re-observing 100 of those signals. news.berkeley.edu/2026/01/12/f...
For 21 years, enthusiasts used their home computers to search for ET. UC Berkeley scientists are homing in on 100 signals they found. - Berkeley News
UC Berkeley’s SETI@home, one of the most popular crowd-sourced research projects ever, turned up some 12 billion signals of interest. A lengthy analysis found 100 worth another look.

The reason robot bros modelled them on dogs is that if they used cats as the blueprint, it would sleep for 20hrs, steal your favourite chair, refuse to listen to orders or acknowledge your existence.

Was trying to think what the USS Athena reminded me of, and it's the Halo Guardians. It's a big stretch, more to do with the loose coupling of the design than anything else.
Still, cool to see Star Trek go in completely new directions.
