Sharing my weird art for #ArtAdventCalendar.
Little sculpture with 3d printed parts and clay-sculpted bits. All 3d modeling, printing, sculpting, carving, painting, etc. was done by me. Most of it was an experiment, but I think it tuned out pretty well!

A pair of Stegosaurus leisurely walking while a group of Hesperornithoides bicker in the foreground
I just think everyone needs to see Stegosaurus every now and then. Makes everyone happier 😊 This is an illustration of my licensing library and is available for non exclusive licensing.

Why is House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries lying on Donald Trump's behalf?
The US-Mexico border was not insecure last year and secure this year. That is not true.
The US-Mexico border was not insecure last year and secure this year. That is not true.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs on day one—and as we can see, that was a lie. Prices shot up, and health care will spike again because they refuse to extend the ACA credits.
Now they claim “affordability” is a con job. Since when is feeding your family or seeing a doctor a scam?

We are being terrorized.
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

@gtconway.bsky.social is "all out of Fs to give" and he's ready to bring the fight to D.C.
He joins Katie Phang to talk about a possible congressional run, why accountability must come first from the top down, and how he defines being a “conservative” in 2025.

George Retes is an American citizen and veteran who was unjustly pepper-sprayed, arrested, and imprisoned for three days by ICE.
Yet he won't be intimidated by this lawless administration. He's speaking up and telling his story as part of a new $250k @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social campaign. 👇

If collaborations between scientists and artists have a future, it must - in my view - involve a strict "no AI" policy among researchers who need art. Specialist science-art communities are already small and fragile, and adopting AI instead of human artists may break them entirely.

More images in a scientific paper that can be described as low quality, of questionable accuracy, environmentally damaging, job stealing and copyright infringing.
Hey, maybe it's time for scientific journals to just stop accepting AI-generated images?
Hey, maybe it's time for scientific journals to just stop accepting AI-generated images?
e.g. to produce these two – which are still problematic – took at least 80 batches of DALL-E 2 generation (each batch making multiple images), and on top of that, required direct editing of the #AI images themselves.
