Neuston, we have a problem: why do we know so little about the creatures floating on the ocean surface?

Marcel Marceau used Mime to Save Lives in WWII


"His name is synonymous with the art of mime, a performer whose silent expressions spoke volumes. But beyond his pale-faced persona and invisible walls lies a story of remarkable bravery and heroism. During World War II, Marceau used his unique talents to save children from the horrors of Nazi-occupied France, first using mime to help children quietly escape and keep them calm during perilous escapes across borders. For Marcel and his earliest young students, mime was a powerful tool of survival."

More importantly if I may be selfish (on MacOS, not Linux): how is ARM64 platform support shaping up? Iโ€™m guessing the relevance for running non-x86 Windows binaries (on Linux, MacOS and any other supported operating systems) will go up now that there are official Windows 11 on ARM laptops to buy from Microsoft and their Windows hardware partners.

Arizona Iced Tea founder explains why he will never increase the $0.99 price of his tea:

โ€œWeโ€™re successful. Weโ€™re debt-free. We own everything. Why? Why have people who are having a hard time paying their rent have to pay more for their drink? Maybe itโ€™s my way to give back."

"Imagine not chasing endless growth and squeezing your staff & customers endlessly. Imagine not chasing endless growth and squeezing your staff and customers endlessly"

What a concept..

I made the cardinal parenting mistake of giving my daughter all of the play-doh colors at the same time. Though when she's older, this could be a useful way to introduce entropy

It's inevitable. As a kid, I only had colored clay for about a week. For the rest of my childhood, I had gray.


"I do not believe the court would have made the jump from picking the president to assuming the role and powers constitutionally given to the presidency if the conservative justices werenโ€™t already sure that the people were too weak to stop them. But the conservatives were sure they could get away with todayโ€™s ruling because they already got away with a different case two years ago: Dobbs v. Jackson Womenโ€™s Health Organization." #SCOTUS thenation.com/article/society/โ€ฆ


First post here on #pixelfed !

I'm going to slowly start posting my past, present and future artwork here, starting with my sculpt of Pot Boy from Elden Ring, made entirely in Blender.

A little bit about myself: I'm a 24 year old 3D artist from Austria, working mainly with ZBrush and Blender, focusing mainly on Characters and Creatures. I also have a website where I sometimes post Blogs and other artwork ๐Ÿ˜€

I have a painting in the Victorian Artist Society's Portrait Exhibition 2024! It's of my friend Thuan! (The least self-conscious person I could find...Thank you so much, Thuan!)

The opening event will be on Sunday 07 July. If you happen to be in Australia, you can come along and see my painting--and everyone else's of course. You can enjoy the open day to observe how various portrait artists ply their craft!

The painting will then continue to be up until 15 July. So, you can pop by any time that week. Let me know and I will join you for a squizz and a cup of tea from the VAS barista!

I like the shape it's very nice looking but also perhaps a little moldy? Unless that's some brilliant and idiosyncratic glaze work.

Congratulations to a Faculty Committee at the University of Rhode Island for calling for the closure of the university's #OpenAccess Fund which supports APCs. The Committee argues that "rather than covering APC expenses of a small number of URI faculty, OA Fund resources should be redirected toward efforts that will have greater impact."

These actions align with the #BOAI20 Recommendations to move away from APCs.

I genuinely wish they gave up on this stuff and focused a bit more on their lightly lacking C# support.
Also saw some stuff about C++ lately. Which I still prefer overall.
