For those who, like me, love speculative and alien evolution, there's a remarkable new book out, "Wildlife on the Planet Furaha" by Gert van Dijk. www.crowood.com/book/wildlif...

This is a landmark in speculative evolution history: Furaha is a project of that has been a part of the online spec scene since I was a child!

Knight’s woolly mammoths (and Zdeněk Burian’s as well) are nothing short of perfect. To this day, they look so lifelike.

A leading kids safety bill has been poison pilled, supporters say App store age verification is beginning to take center stage.

Online age verification is a tempting idea. I'm a dad, I get it, but what's being proposed isn't just an ID check, it's a list of your kid's faces and data. A list in the hands of increasingly totalitarian governments, tech companies, and dysfunctional AI.

It's not protection, it's surveillance.

Jesus fuck I’m tired and feeling dead inside.

Someone just stop the world. I want to get off.

It also wears a tricorn hat trimmed with long feathers and carries a spear.

Ol' Salty, Pirate Saltasaurus. A bit of silliness which became a personal favourite.

Sorry for the general lack of activity as of late, especially the last couple days or so. Was front-loaded with a lot of work on Friday that kinda leaked into yesterday and now I'm just dead tired.

Art and other shenanigans should hopefully resume soon.

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

Reminder that the Gkids release of Tokyo Godfathers has an English dub where Hana is played by a trans actress (who also helped with the dub script, too!) and she is FANTASTIC.

It's apparently also the 60th anniversary of Gamera! If I'd been paying attention I would've done a new piece but enjoy this one from a couple years ago.

Sorry for the largely weightless word salad I just spewed up here. Just needed to get it out of my system lol

Honestly I have no idea where to begin with my thoughts on this show. Might do comprehensive reviews of all three seasons sometime so I can break down my thoughts.

So, yeah, overall, another excellent season of Prehistoric Planet! I do wish they hadn’t dropped all the episodes at once, but it was still terrific. Whatever the PHP team does next, I’ll be there. And of this is the last we see of PHP, I’d say it ended on a high note. (6/6)

It almost made this season feel like a spiritual successor to Walking With Beasts. And the fact their animation quality was on par with The Moving Picture Company and Jellyfish Studios’ work on the last two seasons of PHP shows just how far they’ve come since the 2000s. (5/6)

While I do wish some species, like the American mastodon and Deinotherium, showed up, the roster was still superbly done.

And needless to say, the visuals were incredible. Its mind-blowing how real these animals look. Framestore being involved makes it feel extra special. (4/6)

The sequences with the Psilopterus brothers, the fighting Doedicurus, the courting Giant Moas, and the lone Gigantopithecus were among my favorites. As were just about every scene involving ground sloths. I’m so happy they as a group finally got such strong representation. (3/6)

Despite how often its covered in paleodocs, this is the first time I’ve truly felt any media has captured the full-breadth of animal life in the Pleistocene (noticeable lack of hominids aside). And boosts some of the best looking and executed scenes in the series. (2/6)

While I’m not yet sure if I’d rank it above seasons 1 and 2, #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge is still fantastic.

Certain aspects- mostly the weird aversion to identifying certain species- was a bit distracting. But otherwise, the storytelling and presentation were top-tier. (1/6)

IN THE NOT-TOO-DISTANT FUTURE
TOMORROW ACTUALLY

Japan's fascination for plesiosaurs most probably originates with the retrieval by a fishing boat of a carcass vaguely resembling the long extinct reptile (it's even referenced in Coo). Of course, it was quickly revealed to be the remains of a basking shark. Didn't stop people from dreaming though.
