Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

Hey so it's been two years since Eggbug went read-only. What are some lessons we learned about race demographics, moderation and financials? What's the current social media landscape like? Fun thing to be writing about the day I found out the head of trust and safety on bluesky has blocked me lmfao

🧪⚒️ Interesting: modelling of length of day changes suggests that primary coupling between core and mantle is mainly a gravitational torque (dense bits of core and mantle attracting each other) rather than mechanical drag at core-mantle boundary or interaction with geomagnetic field.

NASA released a bunch of 16 and 35mm film engineering footage of the Artemis II launch today. Naturally I knew what I had to do with it.

For now, here's a fun doodle I did awhile back, depicting an interpretation of a spurious moon of Venus, Neith, which was once reported by astronomers way back in the 17th century. Obviously, it is well known today that Venus does not actually have any natural satellites. Still fun to draw!

Version two of Kamo'oalewa. I feel very confident in these orientations and the overall shape. Some features could definitely be better matched but I'm pretty satisfied with this model. I'll be curious to see how well the unseen portions of the model match reality if/when more imagery is released.

Starting to get the hang of the line camera, also got the python API to output sequential images and auto-stitch them into arbitrarily large pictures

Turns out if you type "udm1" instead of "udm14" you'll spend a couple days wondering why Google is trying to send you places

I do think it's good they allow an opt-out as compared to a lot of services which will just do it and never let you know but it REALLY should have been opt-in This is the kind of bad behavior that permanently harms open-source projects by making people more reticent to share their code

Antigravity Asymmetric absorption and re-emission of solar energy can cause small asteroids to rotate faster and faster like a cosmic pinwheel. This can lead to fragmentation when centrifugal force overcomes the object's own gravity.
