I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%).

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced. But where does that lost tire material go? The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways, where the tiny microplastic particle...

This purported "suicide" video of Jeffrey Epstein in his prison cell is in the latest batch of Epstein files. But it's a fake 3D render posted to YouTube in 2020.
It's in the files because a Florida conspiracy theorist sent an email to federal investigators in March 2021 asking if it was real.

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Article 22 is a jewelry company that repurposes Vietnam War shrapnel and battlefield debris. A portion of their profits goes to the Mine Advisory Group, which works to remove landmines still left in Laos (they've removed more than 300k mines!). I like the company's "Shard" necklace collection.

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

The Devil You Know with Sarah Marshall | CBC Podcasts | CBC Listen
In the 1980s and 90s, Satan and his followers were accused of brainwashing children, sacrificing babies, and infiltrating North American society on a massive scale — yet these thousands of alleged Satanists were nowhere to be found. Even so, the narrative became embedded in our cultural memory, warp

Adding to this, the idea that concept art is some sort of tedium you can cut corners on is genuinely insulting. Concept art is the bedrock to a setting's entire visual identity, and cutting corners on it is akin to shooting yourself in the foot to win a race.
"It's just concept art, who cares if they use genAI and not actual artists?"
Look at this concept art for C-3P0 by Ralph McQuarrie.
It's the very thing that inspired Anthony Daniels to go for the role of Threepio and perform him as such.
It is the first heartbeat of the art that now exists.

Two of the best series/casts of Taskmaster ever. Maybe some recency bias, but after a couple of so-so series it really seemed like the show came back swinging with 19 and 20.
