Beuys
A photo of Beuys performing an artwork in which a group swept and raked the forest floor. The artwork was a spectacle in opposition to deforestation. Photos from Beuy’s artwork in which a group swept and raked the forest floor. The artwork was a spectacle in opposition to deforestation. SAVE THE WOODS In December 1971, Beuys staged Überwindet endlich die Parteien-diktatur! (Overcome the Dictatorship of the Political Parties Now!). For the action, Beuys, his students, and fellow artists from Düsseldorf swept the forest floor with brooms that had twigs as bristles. With a savvy intuition for what makes compelling spectacle, Beuys organized the action in response to the planned removal of trees to accommodate a nearby tennis club expansion. The event, depicted in Rettet den Wald (Save the Woods) (1972), attracted the media and spurred a wider public effort to save the forest. "Everyone is talking about protecting the environment, but hardly anyone's doing anything," Beuys urged. "With this action we are doing our bit, because the trees that are supposed to be done away with here are vital for the generations to come." Throughout the 1970s, Beuys engaged in many ecological efforts, and by the end of the decade much of his political action centered on his concerns for the environment. In addition to demonstrating against environmental degradation and nuclear energy and advocating for the reclamation of urban space, he became a founding member of Die Grünen, the German Green Party. Across these activities, he often used his multiples not just as vehicles for the distribution of his ideas but as direct fundraising tools to support larger organizational efforts.

Curious how the Remix maintainers are going to handle this 😂
A github issue in the Remix framework complaining that a public review that reads: "holy 💩 Remix is good" is offensive to "Christian believers." The emoji is in the original text.

This API might get me on React 19
Screenshot from the React v19 docs with the text: ref callback function Instead of a ref object (like the one returned by useRef), you may pass a function to the ref attribute. ```typescript <div ref={(node) => { console.log('Attached', node); return () => { console.log('Clean up', node) } }}> ```

Been dreaming up a nerdy house building game. Any name ideas?
A "victory point" card called Passivehaus. Requires airpermeable water proofing barrier, R20 insulation and an interior service cavity. Awards 2 victory points. Wall assembly cards. Each wall assembly card has a single material illustration, some stats and a title. These are transparent cards with axonometric illustrations and marks for alignment. A Base Brief card. These would be harder cardstock and defines the basic rules for a given round of the game. Square floor plan cards that can be used to define the building plan.

Been thinking about this one
