[ID: Fanart of Till from Alien Stage over a white background with pink outlined hearts. He is drawn bust-up in the center of the photo and facing the camera. He is wearing his grey shirt and his hair is down. He is sweating and blushing with a frustrated expression. Four chibi icons of Ivan and Mizi surround his head, two on each side. Each icon is smiling brightly and blushing. The top of the drawing has the text "men be like 'im fighting demons'" and the bottom has the text "but the demons are just bisexuality", referencing a joke quote. End ID]

I fucked up the ivantill drawing DRAMATICALLY so y'all can have the zestiest drawing I've ever made instead (IVANTILL IS COMING I JUST NEED TO REDO IT)

Thinking about Marvin and pathetic androids in general.

You’ve been delivered the magnum opus of technology. A supercomputer beyond human comprehension, so advanced, so efficient, invested with self-awareness and consciousness. Truly the peak of artificial intelligence.

And he’s a depressed, whiny loser. Oh, he will perform his tasks with utmost perfection, naturally, but he will complain and sigh and philosophize on the side.

“Thank you for taking me out,” you say to your synthetic partner.

“Well, my pleasure. Mine only, I suppose, as you probably had no other choice,” he says with pursed lips. “Give it two years and they’ll come up with a better model, and I’ll be discarded in the trash, recycled for scraps, forgotten in some intergalactic dump.”

Ah, the misery of life. He glides to his designated pouting corner and shuts himself off.

The definition of “art” is incredibly abstract and varies from person to person, but if it doesn’t include South Park, then I think it’s being too gatekeepy

"The world's coral reefs are close to 25 percent larger than we thought. By using satellite images, machine learning and on-ground knowledge from a global network of people living and working on coral reefs, we found an extra 64,000 square kilometers (24,700 square miles) of coral reefs – an area the size of Ireland.

That brings the total size of the planet's shallow reefs (meaning 0-20 meters deep) to 348,000 square kilometers – the size of Germany. This figure represents whole coral reef ecosystems, ranging from sandy-bottomed lagoons with a little coral, to coral rubble flats, to living walls of coral.

Within this 348,000 km² of coral is 80,000 km² where there's a hard bottom – rocks rather than sand. These areas are likely to be home to significant amounts of coral – the places snorkelers and scuba divers most like to visit.

You might wonder why we're finding this out now. Didn't we already know where the world's reefs are?

Previously, we've had to pull data from many different sources, which made it harder to pin down the extent of coral reefs with certainty. But now we have high resolution satellite data covering the entire world – and are able to see reefs as deep as 30 meters down.

Pictured: Geomorphic mapping (left) compared to new reef extent (red shading, right image) in the northern Great Barrier Reef.

[AKA: All the stuff in red on that map is coral reef we did not realize existed!! Coral reefs cover so much more territory than we thought! And that's just one example. (From northern Queensland)]

We coupled this with direct observations and records of coral reefs from over 400 individuals and organizations in countries with coral reefs from all regions, such as the Maldives, Cuba, and Australia.

To produce the maps, we used machine learning techniques to chew through 100 trillion pixels from the Sentinel-2 and Planet Dove CubeSat satellites to make accurate predictions about where coral is – and is not. The team worked with almost 500 researchers and collaborators to make the maps.

The result: the world's first comprehensive map of coral reefs extent, and their composition, produced through the Allen Coral Atlas. [You can see the interactive maps yourself at the link!]

The maps are already proving their worth. Reef management agencies around the world are using them to plan and assess conservation work and threats to reefs."

After Vere's animation (?) teaser being released, I wanted to go back and see all the other ones that were also teased and I'm noticing a pattern. So from the first one to the most recent:

Does that mean we're going to get a close-up of Mhin next? Could it be that Ais and Kuras are also going to get a chest-up teaser and vice versa with Leander and Vere?

Not sure what to make of it (is there even anything to make of) or if I'm just overthinking it, but it's a nice detail to pick up on.

Episode 204: Happy Anniversary #8

Flourish and Elizabeth celebrate their eighth (!) anniversary with eight (!) guest responses to their traditional query: What changes and trends have you observed in fandom over the past year, on a broad level and/or on a personal level? Topics discussed include accessibility on fandom platforms, rethinking “canon” in an era of franchise oversaturation, finding fandom at scale vs. deeper individual connections, and the effects of the Hollywood strikes on fan conversations today—and the entertainment industry in the future.
