I really admire Samus Aran, because sometimes I too deal with challenges by curling up into a ball.

This artist designs intricate suits of armor. The intended wearer? A humble mouse
Jeff de Boer has made an entire career out of crafting tiny plate armor. He's compelled by the idea of the underdog finding an edge; something so small being so well-protected.

one of the things Weizenbaum really nails is that our propensity to believe machine intelligence rivals our own is embedded in a deeper view of humans as being basically machines, that the ELIZA Effect is in part a product of our spiritual and cultural empoverishment... it seems the woke pope agrees
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

All hail Falstaff, the Christmas Boar!

My take on Christmas was heavily informed by my dad, who threw medieval, Victorian, and Biblical practices in a bag and shook 'em up, in the public sphere.
When he passed, I inherited Falstaff here, who moved from his studio to mine. Dad had gotten him in trade decades ago, to use in church. 1/

⚡️Russia has 'no say' over whether Ukraine can join NATO, Rutte says.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Nov. 26 that Ukraine's accession to the alliance depends on unanimous agreement among member states — not on Russian demands.

This is why we all freak out about theft btw, bc just a few copies can make an actual, real difference. you would be surprised at how few copies someone needs to make it onto a bestseller list
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Device…hoarding. Because you don’t go get a new one while yours is still fine.
Apparently I am also practicing car hoarding, house hoarding, husband hoarding, dog hoarding, computer hoarding, furniture hoarding and art hoarding.

13 million seems rather little for a really hard problem.
Look, I'll take it on. We build AI models. We have tons of retrosynthetic expertise. We mess around with liquid handling robots.
But I wouldn't touch this for less than about 1.3 billion. This is a hard problem. Very, very, very hard.

Awesome. I hope Hungary’s president implodes with rage.
BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.
🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺
