Dark painting in classical style, depicting a woman in a white dress with her back facing the viewer, wrapped in red fabric. The face of a man peaking through the darkness, near the woman's bleeding neck.

Book mockup of the first illustration.

The Dracula cover I worked on is finally revealed.

I am very stoked about this project, because doing a cover art for a classical book is a dream I didn't know I had, and also because they agreed to have the cover art minimalistic and elegant, and I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT IT.

This is what I assume #Murderbot's feet are like

1) Ban medication being prescribed because you say there is insufficient evidence to support it, even though it's prescribed internationally
2) Say you're going to set up a trial to get evidence that it's safe and effective
3) Pause that trial getting evidence because of "unquantified risk"

"Million-year-old" fossil skulls from China are far older—and not Denisovans The revised age may help make sense of 2-million-year-old stone tools elsewhere in China.

My latest for @arstechnica.com explores what it means that we have 1.77 million year-old Homo erectus fossils in central China, and whether Homo erectus was really the first hominin to migrate that far. 🧪

"SERGEI!!!! WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT "REPLY ALL"? TWELVE MONTHS IN THE TROLL TRAINING GULA! If we can now afford to keep that running..."

More than 70 kids have died from this season's flu and most were not vaccinated. The vaccine can mean the difference between life and death. Get vaxxed yourself to keep it from spreading. I had the flu but it was a couple days of sniffles and night of fever, thanks to the flu shot! 🩺 #MedSky

News: Venus Williams will be playing doubles with Leylah Fernandez at Indian Wells. Also took a wild card into singles there.

Fernandez and Venus were so fun to watch in New York last year, made the Quarterfinals and had packed out crowds. Indian Wells crowd will enjoy them as well I'm sure.

His first final since coming back after being sidelined for 8 months due to a stress fracture in his back.

All the feelings.

Beautiful to see.

The cast and crew of Heated Rivalry

Diversity programs have become a tick-the-box exercise. They need to become more political, not less

Australia is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, yet leadership positions remain overwhelmingly held by white men.

Conservatives spent years complaining about ”safe-spaces” and “liberal snowflakes” only to turn around and show they are absolutely terrified of ideas they don’t like (“racism is bad” “gender is fluid”) and willing to use state power to avoid the slightest discomfort.

The snowiest of flakes.

The plan, quite obviously, is to restrict the age to 14 when it's too late for puberty blockers to do anything and then use that as evidence that they are ineffective. Transphobic policy based evidence making.

DAIR even develops a lot of those types of tools to study social media harms.

The lumping of so many things under the "AI" umbrella makes discourse about the specific things that are harmful vs useful difficult.

Thinking about Them! again. A perfect marriage of Atomic Horror meets the fear of the Specter of Communism.

The allegory works well as it is subtle (more subtle than Invasion of the Body Snatchers) and is based on a fun creature feature script.
Classic Americana, even if I am an Ant in disguise.

Quiet sunny afternoon on the Monaro farm. Excitement abt wedgetail eagle circling- chooks locked up. Smoke curling through the trees, said to be a controlled burn on nearby property- still causing watchfulness.

Fill moon behind big pine tree.

One night at the Beach Center shore in Washington state during a full moon.

This tariff ruling is causing considerable confusion.
But one thing is clear. 100% of any tariff refunds will be paid to corporations that passed on increased costs to consumers. We paid the tariffs. They will get the refund. Prices won't come back down. The people will get screwed yet again.

Beautiful clouds and seascape

Two paintings of mine from the 1970s showing coastal plants growing on Eastney beach (still have these). I think they show the influence of Graham Sutherland who was a favourite artist of mine.

Northern lights next to a busy road

Another northern lights shot from late 2025...I'm loving the fact that it is just farm fields north of me and nothing else!

Individualized mRNA vaccines evoke durable T cell immunity in adjuvant TNBC - Nature In a phase 1 trial, personalized mRNA vaccines tailored to individual tumour mutations in triple-negative breast cancer induced robust, long-lasting T cell responses and improved prognosis.

More hope from mRNA vaccines. In this instance, individualized vaccines were given to women with triple negative breast cancer following surgery and adjuvant therapy. The results are quite remarkable. Despite cancer finding a ‘T cell-evading’ work-around in some patients.

Etched zinc relief showing a bird man being attacked in his bed by a giant worm which is itself being attacked by a doggish thing with horns. P.S. The raised surface of the scene looks blue because it is reflective, so you're looking at my ceiling.

i think i'm going to post some older stuff. like this guy - i haven't been able to find him since i moved lol

I was about to post a counter opinion under someone's hot take of little to no significance to myself or the world but instead I willed the discourse out of my body and now I feel much better.
