It’s been real fun spreading the good gospel word of Lorcana to people in my regular circle. Most of them are Disney fans and all of them haven’t heard of it, and most haven’t touched a TCG. Ever. So I’ve been on a bit of a tour teaching the game hoping to spark more interest

Cryptic Avian figured out how to avoid 2D #UI art.

(Some concept artists started out as 3D generalists. If you make art in 3D, you don't have to learn perspective, which can be tedious.) #games

How physicists are probing the Higgs boson 10 years after its discovery The famous particle may point to cracks in the standard model and new physics beyond.

“On July 4, 2012, scientists at the laboratory CERN near Geneva announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought subatomic particle that reveals the origins of mass.”

Koh: This is not about justice. This is about power. This is about a Secretary of Defense so drunk off alpha male bullshit that he's willing to take lives to get off on that power.

Watch: How holograms, VR and AI are transforming surgery Could virtual organs make high-risk surgeries safer? Surgeons can explore 3D models of patients’ organs through VR goggles, cutting into the model with virtual tools.

The Language of Tom Stoppard, Ablaze With Energy and Urgency

No question seeing Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia changed my life, esp this line: “We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/t...

Woke up on Thanksgiving to some wonderful news - The Golden Toad (VR) is a Finalist for "Best in Virtual Reality Interactive Immersive Experiences" at the Qld XR Festival (Australia). Feeling grateful. #xr #mr #ar #immersivestorytelling

All of us wish you a very happy Thanksgiving, Marjorie! Mountains of gratitude to you too!!! ❤️🙏😁

A 3D rendered scene of an abandoned research facility with a large geodesic dome with multiple panels broken or fallen off. Several large trees grow from the damaged structure. A lone person walks through the snow towards the building as strange, glowing lights dance around the dome and leave trails of sparkling light behind. The scene is set at night under dark-blue lighting conditions.

Lost Research - I started with the idea of a reverse snowglobe. Something with a serene spring scene inside a glass orb with a harsh winter outside. Somewhere along the line I got carried away and the scene eventually changed. Made in #maya #blender #substancepainter

(Fewer men to recruit, so the women are stepping up. They're heroes born of necessity.)

Like so many members of our military, serving this country changed my life. The Navy gave me opportunities I wouldn't dream of and taught me lessons I'll never forget. I'm grateful for everything our nation has given me, and I'll always do everything I can to give back to it.

Almost all of the "MAGA" accounts on X have been determined to be located in other countries. Trump literally has to pretend he still has a huge following.

We know better. Hell, DC insiders are quietly working to oust him.
