Secrets of the bees: Revealing the sneaky genius of nature's brightest thinkers New science is showing that nature’s vital pollinators are smarter than we ever imagined. Here’s why that discovery should change what we think about one of the world’s most important animals.

Bees are so cool. They dance, they can play soccer, and they have intelligence only seen in vertebrates. That's right, these little ladies are as smart as things with spines, but they don't even need spines.

Maeda Masao: Black Cat in Tree (1940)
This charming woodblock print by Maeda Masao (1904–1974) is a wonderful example of the Sƍsaku-hanga (creative print) movement. Unlike the traditional division of labor in woodblock printing, artists of this movement insisted on being the sole creators—drawing, carving, and printing the works themselves to express their individual artistic voices.

The composition is dominated by the sprawling, stylized branches of a pine tree, rendered in vibrant shades of green and yellow-gold. Peering out from the center of the dense foliage is a small, solid black cat with bright, watchful yellow eyes. The cat’s dark form creates a sharp, playful contrast against the textured, almost pointillist application of color on the pine needles and the warm brown of the tree limbs. The background is a soft, pale blue, suggesting a clear day and allowing the primary colors of the tree and the cat to pop. Masao’s work often featured nature and animals with a modern, graphic sensibility that felt fresh and accessible, yet deeply rooted in the observational traditions of Japanese art.

Bingata: The Vibrant Textile Heritage of Okinawa
This stunning textile is a mid-19th-century example of Bingata, a traditional resist-dyeing technique unique to the Okinawa Islands. Developed during the era of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Bingata was historically reserved for the robes of the royal family and high-ranking nobility. It is celebrated for its bold, "shimmering" color palette—derived from both natural pigments and synthetic dyes—and its dynamic patterns that often blend seasonal motifs from both Japan and Southeast Asia.

The cloth is crafted using a meticulous process involving either stencils (kata-gami) or freehand paste-drawing (tsutsugaki). A rice-paste resist is applied to the fabric to block out areas before the dyes are hand-painted into the open spaces. This specific piece features a repeating motif of stylized floral sprays and vine-like scrolls against a deep blue ground, likely achieved with indigo. The vibrant pink, yellow, and red hues of the blossoms are characteristic of the Ryukyuan aesthetic, which favored high-contrast intensity over the more muted tones often found in mainland Japanese textiles. The intricate shading within the petals and the fine, dark outlines indicate a high level of mastery in the stenciling and over-dyeing phases of production.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

Watched No Other Choice last night and it truly was a masterpiece. Highly recc it folks! Not really shocked the Academy snubbed it tho because 1. They self admittedly dont even watch the films that are nominated and 2. The anti-captalist message is spread so thick through the entirety.
