No, it's fine, I just didn't think the Butlerian Jihad would be led by a Korean, that's all

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...

Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday.
The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal.
"My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

Realising that #FossilFriday is sneaking away, so I'll quickly post some #paleoart of the giant #pterosaur Hatzegopteryx to avoid missing out. I painted this back in 2019 but gave it a 30-minute spruce up today to sort out some compositional and colour issues. #sciart #fossil

"It's... pink" says Guybrush Pthreepwood, a large pterosaur walking along a rocky trail overlooking a coastal plain and sea. The sky beyond is yellowish, but Guybrush is right: that's a super pink set of clouds. Undeterred, he walks on, continuing his quest for the Ultimate Insult. He hopes Murray the Skull is some sort of cool dinosaur skull in this universe.

New at #Patreon: discussion of this scene of Sinosauropteryx waiting out a feeding Yutyrannus for carcass access. Or - hold on - are they waiting for their parent to feed them? Behold, the compsognathid identity dispute, now #paleoart flavoured! #sciart #dinosaurs

Because I'm a lazy, lazy man, I'm copying text from the start of my Patreon post that describes this scene. If you want to read the rest of the discussion, you need to visit https://www.patreon.com/posts/132334586 (I may be lazy, but I'm not stupid. OK, not _that_ stupid.)

"It's nighttime in Early Cretaceous China, in the part of the world that will eventually be recorded as the Yixian Formation. A light dusting of snow covers the winter ground, and only the coniferous trees retain their leaves. The light of a full moon spreads through the misty sky, obscuring distant mountains but illuminating a large dinosaurian predator, Yutyrannus. It is consuming the bloodied remains of a small dinosaur that, from the silhouette, looks to have been a Psittacosaurus. Quietly surrounding the carnivore is a group of eight smaller dinosaurs: compsognathids. Their small size, long, stripy brown tails and facial masks betray them as Sinosauropteryx. They appear to be congregating in the hope of getting access to the Psittacosaurus carcass, some peering around the larger dinosaur at a respectful distance to identify pilferable morsels. The Yutyrannus is ten times their length and towers above them: surely it's best to wait until it's finished? Unless... wait: are these Sinosauropteryx enterprising opportunists, patiently waiting for the larger predator to have their fill? Or are they juveniles waiting for their parent – a tyrannosauroid – to finish with the carcass before they can have access, or even for it to provision them with food? What the heck has actually been depicted here?"

actually an incredible bit that the rimworld vore fetish mod has an april fools update that turns all conversations into the bee movie script and if you ask about it you accidentally self report that you installed the rimworld vore fetish mod

Anyone happen to know which mod adds random messages to the game? Just loaded up my recent save file and the game seems to be showing the script for the bee movie as messages in game.

Why is everyone so cagey talking about nsfw mods? I'm tired of seeing "the forbidden mod" "that one mod..." just say the name. This is being caused by Rim Vore, a vore fetish mod.

If things had gone differently.

Palaeoloxodon creutzburgi, one of the several elephants that used to live on Mediterranean islands, greeting a baby in an Ancient Greek vase. Small island elephants around the world went extinct around the time of human arrival, but I wonder, what if they didn’t.
