The world of digital animals always brings me joy ... and I thought I'd share some rather interesting-looking specimens I found today as part of my latest science project...

All you have to do is survive the next 5 years

this is what the world looks like in 15-20 years:

-humans hitting 130 routinely, 150 if you don't get bored early
-jet suits replacing the morning commute
-organs printed to your exact spec on demand
-centenarians who are sharp, dangerous, and still running things
-body and brain upgrades you walk into a clinic and get
-cognitive enhancements that make your 25-yo self look slow
-avatars that work, travel, and take meetings etc

the tech exists, just not evenly distributed yet

please don't quit in the next 3-5 years.

i keep coming back to evo devo. at it core it feels indistinguishable from what generative artists’ passion: how seemingly simple code and rules give rise to endlessly complex forms.
and just like generative art, instead of directly specifying form, the genome sets up interactions, and constraints - a system to grow it.

🇳🇴 Norway Enters The Chat, Politely Informs World It Will Be Repossessing The United States

WASHINGTON, DC, and also technically somewhere west of Reykjavik in spirit.

In a calm statement delivered over a mug of black coffee and the sound of a distant wool sweater being folded with authority, the Government of Norway announced Monday that it will be taking the United States back.

The decision follows what Norwegian officials described as “a confusing sequence of international property disputes,” including renewed American talk of acquiring Greenland, pressure campaigns on allies, and the general vibe of someone trying to rewrite a rental agreement with a marker.

“We have reviewed the paperwork,” said a spokesperson, producing a laminated map of the North Atlantic and tapping it twice for emphasis. “And according to our records, the first Europeans to find North America did not arrive in a luxury cruise ship with a gift shop. They arrived in an unreasonably damp boat with a determined attitude. Therefore, as a matter of historical fairness, Norway will be reclaiming the United States.”

Asked what Norway plans to do with the US, officials outlined a practical, step by step approach.

First, a national safety inspection.

“Right now the country is running hot,” said the spokesperson, noting that Norway intends to install guardrails, update the wiring, and replace several rhetorical load bearing beams that appear to have been removed for no clear reason. “We will also be introducing a national concept known as ‘outside voice’ and limiting it to reasonable hours.”

Second, a cultural restoration project.

Norway clarified that this is not about punishment, but about stewardship.

“We keep hearing talk about Viking heritage,” the spokesperson said. “With respect, heritage is not a bumper sticker. Heritage is being able to walk outside in bad weather and still function. Heritage is eating something that did not come from a drive through window. Heritage is carrying a piece of furniture up stairs without declaring civil war.”

As part of the transition, Norway will introduce a new physical fitness test for all public officials, tentatively titled “Can You Move A Reasonable Rock Without A Podcast About It.”

The test has three parts:
1.A brisk walk without live commentary.
2.Carrying groceries with both hands, no rolling suitcase.
3.A ceremonial attempt to lift a moderately heavy hammer while remaining emotionally regulated.

The US Department of Everything immediately issued a response saying it is “reviewing the situation,” a phrase Norway confirmed it will be replacing with “we will do it by Friday.”

Meanwhile, Denmark released a short statement welcoming Norway’s interest in rules based order, adding that the Kingdom would prefer everyone stop trying to acquire large Arctic assets like they are limited edition sneakers.

Norway concluded by assuring Americans that daily life will improve.

“There will be healthcare that does not involve financial suspense,” said the spokesperson. “There will be paid leave. There will be fewer ads for pills that list existential dread as a side effect. And the national emergency hotline will stop opening with, ‘Have you tried turning democracy off and on again.’”

When asked whether the United States consented to the takeover, Norway looked briefly confused.

“We assumed you would appreciate a plan,” the spokesperson said. “Also, we brought waffles.”

Opposition to lab grown meat is just mindless hysteria. If we can recreate the taste and texture of meat without any of the associated negatives, people should be happy. If we no longer have to raise and slaughter billions of animals a year that would be great for our planet.

Lots of talk about Bovaer.
Chemist speaking here.
Time for some facts.

Bovaer, also known as 3-nitrooxypropanol, is a small organic molecule with a nitrooxy group attached to a propane backbone. Its structure is simple yet powerful in targeting methane emissions in livestock.
