Two panel comic. Panel 1: a museum display of a megalodon jaw fossil, with some museum goers standing around it. There is a graphic on the information tablet next to the fossil, depicting the approximation of the megalodonโ€™s full size compared to a human. Panel 2: โ€œ3.6 million years ago:โ€ we see the true megalodon as it existed, a small shark with ludicrously large, juicy lips.

โ€œIs there a technology the left is excited about?โ€

High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

Ladies lunch club loved the bugs yesterday.

Biodiversity +undescribed species
gifs of bumblebees playing with balls like puppies & spiders dancing for their life
bugs as pest control & leave the leaves

It's a regular DnD aligment chart, but there are new itens. On top, there a "Goblin" right after goo, neutral and evil, and on the botton there is "Disaster" right after lawful, Neutral and Chaotic. The results are: Lawful Goblin, Neutral Goblin, Chaotic Gobiln, and then "Full of good intentions Disaster", "Just a disaster", "An Evil Disaster" and the last one is "Disaster Goblin".

LOOK AT THIS 'PILLAR

Short story, I tried to draw as many species from my backyard as possible and got burnt out real quick, so I started paying other artists to do it.

I tried to rear this baby, nicknamed Charizard, in 2020. I failed, but it's now immortalized as a @mothmonarch.bsky.social piece.

A picture of a 3-inch anti-generative AI holographic sticker with a formline design on it. The design has a black border with sparkles lining it. Text within the border reads โ€œyou cannot automate the human experience.โ€ The formline design depicts a decapitated robot head with vacant eyes. Next to it are two ravens, with one raven perched on the head with a piece of the robotโ€™s antenna in its beak.
