May 10, 2024 - Hundreds of radical environmentalists and anticapitalists have broken through police lines and fences and stormed the terrain of the Tesla Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg. They are attempting to stop the planned expansion of the factory, which would mean the destruction of surrounding forest and farmland. The factory also uses immense amounts of water, and all to sell shitty electric cars to give people the idea that personal consumption choices can save the environment from destruction, and make fascist Elon Musk even richer than he already is. The actions in the past days have forced Tesla to temporarily shut down production at the factory. [video]

i am SO SO SO curious about how long it would've taken for dinosaurs to grow!!! What do we know about how non-avians would've gone about this, especially those colossal sauropods?

I know that in modern dinosaurs this timeline is skewed a bit since a lot of them only spend one to a few months in a nest before fledging. However flightless species like emus and emperor penguins can take around a year to reach that full size. Would the non-avian dinosaurs have been similar?

So we actually can track dinosaur growth via histology!

Bones grow like tree trunks and we can count the rings!

Different dinosaurs had different growth patterns! I don't remember all of them off the top of my head, but T. rex (for one example) had a growth curve remarkably similar to people!

send me "be honest..." with a question your muse has been dying to ask mine and they'll answer truthfully.

So I got the opportunity last month to make a pitch for a short animated film! So I decided to tell the tale of two paintings in a art museum who get into a fight but ultimately fall in love and decide to hop into a frame together. Unfortunately it wasn't chosen in the end but I am planning to do something with this story in the near future!

I think people need to realize that it was sheer luck that they have been born in developed countries with decent living conditions, away from the threat of war or civil conflicts. It is by pure coincidence at times that you end up being a citizen of a developed country, rather than one with an impoverished population experiencing man-made (because it is man-made in this day and age) famine, diseases that have been long eradicated or war (be it a civil conflict or due to selfish interests of developed nations who profit from these, at the cost of civilian lives). You could have been born into these conditions.

The point is: NO ONE should ever be made to witness the horrors of war, famine, poverty, disease or any other trauma inducing situation in which they have no free will or say about its outcome.

Made a lil outfit/redesign for Vaggie for the scenario of her breaking up with Charlie 💔 Part of me imagines her current fashion’s influenced a bit by Charlie and would end up having a change or atleast experiment with her fashion more if they grew apart or even broke things off. I can also see her in general get closer to Carmine, perhaps take more lessons from her and if she and Charlie break up, ends up becoming one her bigger support figures.

And more of a personal idea but I can see her eye X shift into a more moth shape and become pink like her pilot’s! Show how she’s becoming more of her own person beyond her past as an exorcist(the ❌) or as Charlie’s girlfriend(the red).

What do u think? If Chaggie does break up, how do u imagine they’d change appearance/character wise? I’d love to know💖

my friend and colleague @ advadnoun (one of the people who basically invented modern image synthesis by discovering clip + vqgan, you know, "secret horses") has released a very cool new project that is an ai that you cannot prompt with text. instead, you can only prompt it by saying that you like, don't like, or are neutral towards the image it produces for you, and that slowly tweaks it towards an area of latent space that you like. here's some of the cool output i've gotten from it.
