At this stage of industrial development, to not have a Universal Basic income and Universal Healthcare is downright uncivilized.

I am so happy to see this.
I’ve looked up to Adam since I was a kid. He made me realize being odd and weird was a good thing. His book, “Every Tool’s A Hammer,” inspired me to write my Gryphon Generation series.
We have the best new addition to our community.

Last night's aurora is frozen to the sky this morning. A few dragons are trying to chip away bits of it, undoubtedly to sell them for exorbitant prices at a later time.

The secret to a superb Parm Spinach Artichoke Dip?
Get all the water out of your spinach
With my thawed frozen spinach
I use a Potato Ricer
Remember water and oil don’t mix so removing every drop of moisture is critical to your successful dip

Stop using AI.
Yes, even just for fun.
AI is built on STOLEN images and text.
That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI.
Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment.
(Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.
Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

Thank you so much to my visual designer on this project Kristina. I always jump at the chance to make something that relates to natural sciences!

Intelligence Evolved at Least Twice in Vertebrate Animals | Quanta Magazine
Complex neural circuits likely arose independently in birds and mammals, suggesting that vertebrates evolved intelligence multiple times.

This was made for “Intelligence Evolved at Least Twice in Vertebrate Animals” for Quanta. The premise is that intelligence is something that has formed itself within two different paths of evolution within birds and mammals independently over time. It was great to have science related work again!
