I was looking for a catchy comic to illustrate the difficulty of finding initial funding to get preliminary data for biotech startups / how the search for funding limits the scope of who is thinking about, and able to work on, new biotech
Instead I found this comic which is quite excellent at articulating—via the example of TRIPS—how corporate interests enforce inequality.

The whole point of going to national healthcare is to take the profit driven investors out of the equation.
They can invest is solar, but solar doesn't have the clout or money that coal does yet. So it's still more profitable for them to back coal.

I can’t support the corporate hand outs.
It's an informative irony that so many politicians argue against "budget busting" efforts at encouraging solar energy, wind power, and geothermal power in the fight against climate change and then somehow find 56 Billion for Intel et al.

@tom grzyb We have enough to do in Europe, things aren't moving nearly as quickly as they should. Only yesterday did the EU "urge" member states to start conserving natural gas. And that's only because of the war in Ukraine, not even for climate purposes.
If it were up to me, we would have invested billions and billions in solar and wind, and already gotten the production and use of hydrogen up and running. But most governments are much better at navel-gazing than actually doing stuff.
But yes, Washington needs to get its act together too...

Hi 🌟 !
I'm Coliandre, a belgian artist and illustrator living in France.
I paint Fantasy and Faery stuff.
I've worked on many fields: comics books (Alice in wonderland, Soufflevent), children books, boardgames (like Mysterium, Dixit, Abyss), novel covers.
I also have my little worlds, such as "The Little Witches" or the "Dracofungus".
#introduction #art #mastoart #illustration
Once upon a time, in the Styrian Alps, I hiked up a mountain in the early morning darkness to photograph the sunrise. That was almost three years ago now, October 2019.
I've posted a few edits of this before, but this is the original that I haven't shown like this before. Unfortunately I don't have the RAW files anymore, so I can't edit it again by today's standards and technical possibilities.

An #introduction: I'm Melissa (they/them)! Some of my projects are in my bio, but in general I am and do:
#gamedev & #podcasting
#polyamory #relationshipanarchy
I write. I #webdev. I play way too much Fallen London. I collect tattoos. I will not call posts "toots".
I like learning to be more imaginative in devising solutions to difficult problems. 🎊
I've been playing some truly awesome small indie games in the last few months. I archive my streams over at irrsinn.video/video-channels/m…, and I work to get closed captioning on them within a week of uploading.
If you're looking for some game recs, I'd suggest checking them out. Just about all of them take between 10 min and 3 hours, so these are quite small games by conventional standards. You can subscribe to a Peertube channel w/ a Mastodon account, too.
Melissa's Game Streams
I stream on twitch! My stream archives will end up here. I tend to play indie games, and while I cuss a fair amount--hence the NSFW marking on most things--I don't use slurs and try to avoid ableist language.Good Vibeos
I acquired a Quest 2 back in September, and took to Beat Saber like a fish to water. Since early Sept, I've played ~130 hours mostly through Steam.
The timing for starting to play was great: I was in the final stretches of in-office physical therapy for my shoulders, and BS is a solid way to improve my shoulders' stamina and assess tightness. I could only play 15-20 minutes on easier difficulties when I started. Now I can play 60-90 min of Expert+ on an average (pain level) day.
It's been forever since I posted a #BeatSaber map rec, and today I have two! The first is a really fun, dancey map to QUIX's "Survive", mapped by Joetastic:
The mix of the single arm beats with the fast twirly/circular pattern (which has a slightly unusual doubling of blocks in it that tripped me up on my first attempts) makes the mapping feel really dynamic. Sometimes that kind of thing feels like a mapper reaching for variety and instead finding chaos, but it works great here.
I didn't record my session today, but this person does a nice job at it: youtu.be/cAp1vmj1PSw?si=6vTf8w…
My second #BeatSaber rec is also a Joetastic map (these must have just been lying around in wait from that time I downloaded all 1000 of their maps), and it's a map of GUNSHIP's "Tech Noir":
Banger synthwave song and a map that is intricate and low-key without being one of those maps that are super slow and pile all the blocks one right behind the other.
A quick search didn't reveal a video I thought was great to showcase this map, so maybe I'll record one tomorrow while I'm baking. 😁
