The entire state government of California is a parable about how giving people more opportunities to vote on something is not, in fact, the same thing as making your political system more democratic.

Working on an experimental large vessel inspired by some midcentury pottery designs while I wait for other pieces to come out of the kiln. Doing this one in stoneware instead of porcelain so I don’t have to be as careful with the drying process. #wip #pottery

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

The entertainment industry has hit rock bottom. Nothing remains of a semblance of gratitude, or even retaining competent people and a team's experience. There is only short-term savings, while these companies are making massive profits. No wonder they're all crazy about AI.

Another kitten in progress, this one based on a drawing my kid made #wip #pottery

A porcelain WIP stylized smiling kitten wearing a beanie, lying on its back with left paw resting on chest, right paw reaching up and exposing one eye under the beanie while the other eye is covered by it. Its tail curls underneath its stubby, outstretched legs.

A simple pencil doodle of a kitten wearing a beanie lying on its back, tail curled, lifting up one side of the beanie with his right paw, exposing one eye.

a few dozen million years ago this guy got sick of the wicked ground and went back into the sea to become Every Whale

a realistic speculative rendering of indohyus, a fairly small land mammal with a broad, rounded body, a long thick tail tapering at the end, a smoothly sloped head kind of like a borzoi dog's, short and thin hooved legs, and short, tawny fur. its shapes are somewhat reminiscent of a whale's

Highly recommend the tour at Eames Institute if you are in the Bay Area. Loved how it finished with a “chair tasting” room. Looking forward to their museum opening in north bay in a few years.

Lobby of Eames institute. There is a pink and green checkerboard rug and a cast steel Eames Armchair, with some graphics on the wall behind it.

Wooden shelves and boxes that archive and meticulously catalog various objects the Eames’ have collected during their lifetime. A lot of toys.

Warehouse shelves storing and displaying various Eames prototypes, products and parts (chairs, tables, etc)

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

Really recommend everyone try the process of creating art just once. Just to know the feeling. Just to know what it’s like to take something creatively to completion. Just to be proud of it, even if it’s bad. Just to say you did it. Even that’s okay too.

Coyote vs Acme was great. I wish the animation of the characters was purely 2D because some of the genius in the original designs were lost, but overall the movie has a lot of heart and I have not laughed that much in a kids-adult-crossover movie in a long time.

An online exhibit worth your time: artists paired with deep-sea biologists to turn real research into art. Bigfin squid in linocut, carnivorous sponges in wire, vent octopus in watercolor. Run by the Deep-Sea Biology Society, and gloriously full of overlooked invertebrates. 🧪 #SciArt #marinelife

We’re witnessing the result of normalization in real time just like we have with the increasing escalations in authoritarianism & force since the start of the 21st century that today’s horrors are downstream from and as this becomes normal there will be increased space for new horrors born from this

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

Well, this article is incredibly depressing for cooking enthusiasts. The short version: private equity has, over the last couple of decades, quietly bought up most of the classic brands you’ve heard of and then traded on their names while drastically cutting quality and closing American factories
