THIS IS HUGE! For the FIRST time in history, scientists at Sanaria and Seattle Children's Research Institute's Center for Global Infectious Disease Research (CGIDR) have developed a GROUNDBREAKING malaria vaccine (PfSPZ-LARC2) designed to provide >90% protection with just ONE dose. 🧪🧵⬇️

oof.

THEY SAID I WOULDNT SUCCEDE - dashare.zone ADMIN

Our CVS has its own cat that just acts like he owns the place. Legend.

Can confirm

this rocks

OpenAI: we’re building a data center that’s 1/3 the size of manhattan. DeepSeek: we stuck three Gameboys together.

I was 13 when Shadow of the Beast came out. It’s hard to articulate how revolutionary this looked and sounded at the time. I knew I wanted to work in graphics the second I saw it and I think about it to this day. youtu.be/ovwFjgAFhOs?...

feels like a Fast and Furious movie where they keep adding members to the team. Except everyone is awful and none of them care about family.

the reichest man in the world

yes

US productivity up by 1.7%

Why can’t we have both?

The marginal details of the David Lynch memorial at the Burbank Bob’s Big Boy are what make it.

If The Brutalist teaches us anything it’s that every +3h movie should have an intermission.

Good morning. New episode of People vs Algorithms is out. With all new art and branding by yours truly. pod.link/pva

Remember when David Lynch made a completely bonkers PlayStation 2 commercial? Those were better days. youtu.be/Laf9vpJMDjA?...

The Blank Check podcast just did an excellent series on David Lynch’s work, including two and a half hours just about this episode of Twin Peaks: The Return.

“There's a safety in thinking in a diner. You can have your coffee or your milk shake, and you can go off into strange dark areas, and always come back to the safety of the diner.” — David Lynch

Lynch was a saint cloaked as a transgressor in a world full of transgressors cloaked as saints.

Nintendo Switch 2's joycons can be used like a mouse on a flat surface. This is interesting for the game we're making.

Nintendo Switch 2 not being called the Super Nintendo Switch hurts a little.

Goodbye and thank you for everything. You absolute legend.

Pro tip: just make a rule that moves any email with the word “unsubscribe” into a folder. If you use your email to read newsletters. Just don’t.

Trying to get a handle on Bluesky and rebuild some sort of audience for the third time after Twitter and Threads. Any tips?

Cartopia is Disneyland’s wildest ride. A robot torturing an owl throughout. Gas fumes. Sponsored by Honda. Unhinged but I kind of love it.

People claiming the future is all about generated media are missing the obvious: people spend hours daily watching other real people dance in front of their phones. We crave human connection, not perfect content.

so is this place better than Threads?

I just messed with Replit and I’m losing my fucking mind.

Played through Neva and it could be my game of the year. As beautiful as it is satisfying. The way they nail color and contrast is inspiring. The trailer doesn’t do the game justice.

Billboards in San Francisco are consistently awful. Have all the graphic designers fled the city?

Name a show you’re sure no one remembers but you.

Rewatched Death Becomes Her which still looks really good for a movie that’s 32 years old. Zemeckis got to make weird body horror comedy with A-list actors. Wild.

Looks like I’m going to have to start once more over here, right?
