    This Giant Moon Makes Your Bones Float
    Sep 11 2025

    The hip bone connected to the basalt rock

    Trace: "How easy would it be to break your bones if humans can fly?" from Anonymous

    Julian: "How big would the moon have to be to make you weightless?" from Sun

    Sep 4 2025
    his week, Julian prunes the universe down to size: bonsai animals, bonsai humans, bonsai...uhm...did he just say bonsai HUMANS?

Would it be fuzzy like those AI images? Aren’t all brains wired differently?" from DalaDo you have an absurd question?
