One cannot improve on the traditional #origami crane. That doesn't get you out of modifying it like an infinite number of monkeys. Here is a crane with a vertically compressed thorax, a longer neck and tail and about 20% longer wings. For those long haul flights.

The gireh pattern on page 226 of Form and Number looked like an iso-area fold to me. And -- surprise -- it is, though it does not collapse. It would, I think, tessellate. Because, you know, gireh.

Sweetarts, a sour candy, dating back to 1962, has taken to impressing each tablet with a false dichotomy. (I think this is to call attention to the sweet/tart dualism.) You see pairs like chill/classy, calm/bold and retro/fresh.

I thought this one was pretty cool. #mathart

Abbey Cube

Not to disrespect the art, but #origami is too dang quiet. Needs some music. Here's five songs from Abbey Road, embedded in a Husimi-Fushimi cube. Best used with Newpipe or some other ungoogly software.

The QR code may not work in the photo, but does in real life -- takes you to a video of the Flying Lizards doing Money (That's What I Want).

It's really not appropriate to keep calling it dog-whistling, when it's audible to everyone this side of the grave. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear: it's wiener-whistling and nothing else.

Butter-and-eggs, Linaria vulgaris. Sometimes, toadflax.

I hear it's invasive.
