Thinking about language, Country, and VR with @Djinjama and @andrewxburrell for this paper that just came out in the design journal Leonardo is one of the most enjoyable pieces of research I've been part of leoalmanac.org/nura-yaman-co…
First day back on campus since more than a year, and this mail in my mailbox made my day. @daanvanesch BOTH cards made it, but one was a bit singed! Thank you!
Weird to be back in my office. The pile of stuff on the floor I dumped out of a drawer during the 15 minutes I had last April to reenter campus and collect my things. To-do list on the whiteboard a year out of date. THIS is where my spare glasses were. Coffee beans are stale.

The spiteful punching octopus news story led me down a rabbit hole of reading about non-mammals behaving like people. And I would like to share something with you from 'Ants, Bees and Wasps' (Lubbock 1884)
Lubbock experimented with getting ants drunk until they lie on their backs and wave their legs around. He found that most ants will pick up their drunken friends and carry them home, but a few just throw them into puddles of water instead.
