In my latest YouTube video I went over how to make fantasy races weirder (cooler) through speculative evolution. Taking classic traits and seeing them through a biological lens instantly adds fun and flavor to even the tropiest of tropes!

This installment of Sci-Fi Cutaway Saturday crosses over with last year's Saturday series on control panels: It's Roger Dean’s 1973 cover art for "Gold the Man," by Joseph Green.

Cross-section of a blue brain reveals a cozy frontal lobe control room full of buttons, with one tiny figure standing in it.

Learned last night that this (first image) is how the most recent Jurassic Park movie portrayed Anurognathus For comparison, here is also a more-or-less accurate paleoart of Anurognathus

Jurassic Park's terrible portrayal of the tiny pterosaur Anurognathus, with gecko-like green scales, a lizard-like mouth, and weirdly thin wings

Detection software is a con. Those who believe it works are getting suckered while thinking they're righteously punishing someone who deserves it. The damn stuff says Emily Dickinson, famously deceased long before modern computing, used this generative junk. It cannot be relied on to tell on itself
