This week's critter is small but very fierce! The Northland Tusked Weta is around 2 cm in size, they are a beautiful orange-brown colour with bands along the back. These little critters live in small tunnels of trees during the day, plugging up the entryway with their own special mix of saliva and wood dust. This can make them incredibly hard to find, if they are not out and about munching on other small creatures during the night. Forest and Bird Chief Executive Nicola Toki talks to Jesse about the endangered critter.

Pierwsze powakacyjne wydanie CPR zaczynamy od dobrej wiadomości – inflacja spadła poniżej 3%. I to szybciej, niż prognozowali eksperci. RPP ma już zielone światło do obniżki stóp procentowych we wrześniu, a to oznacza tańszy kredyt, niższe koszty długu publicznego i oddech dla całego sektora gospodarczego. Dlaczego najnowsze dane z GUS mogą być punktem zwrotnym w polskiej gospodarce? Wyjaśnia Rafał Hirsch. A co jeszcze w jego rankingu? 10. Polska gospodarka warta już bilion dolarów. Najnowsze dane GUS o PKB 9. Weta prezydenta Nawrockiego uderzają w stabilność gospodarki 8. Bon ciepłowniczy i wsparcie dla najuboższych rodzin. Rząd reaguje na weto prezydenta 7. W lipcu banki udzieliły kredytów mieszkaniowych o wartości prawie 10 mld zł. O 40 proc. więcej niż rok wcześniej 6. Rząd przyjął projekt ustawy o portalu z cenami transakcyjnymi mieszkań 5. Rosja na krawędzi recesji. Na Kremlu obniżają prognozy wzrostu gospodarki 4. Sąd apelacyjny uznał cła Trumpa za nielegalne. Przepisy ustawy na to nie pozwalają 3. Najnowsze dane z rynku pracy. Liczba osób bezrobotnych rośnie 2. Rosną koszty długu publicznego. Potrzeby pożyczkowe budżetu brutto wyniosą 690 mld zł w 2026 r. 1. Inflacja daje RPP zielone światło. Nadchodzi decyzja o stopach procentowych

Kto prowadzi w gabinetowych potyczkach między rządem a prezydentem? Jak Jarosław Kaczyński próbuje rozgrywać Konfederację? A może to Konfederacja rozgrywa Kaczyńskiego? Zapraszamy na polityczne podsumowanie mijającego tygodnia.

Karol Nawrocki zawetował już sześć ustaw. Strona rządowa rozważa rządzenie przy pomocy rozporządzeń. - Jakieś wytrychy są  - powiedziała w Polskim Radiu 24 posłanka Koalicji Obywatelskiej Dorota Łoboda.

Karol Nawrocki zawetował ustawę w sprawie ochrony roślin. - Prezydent ma złych doradców, którzy wprowadzają go w błąd. Nie przedstawiają mu prawdziwego stanu rzeczy - powiedział w Polskim Radiu 24 wiceminister rolnictwa i rozwoju wsi Adam Nowak.  

Członek Zarządu Związku Przedsiębiorców i Pracodawców Jakub Bińkowski krytykuje decyzję Karola Nawrockiego o zawetowaniu ustawy o pomocy Ukraińcom w Polsce. Jako skutek weta wskazuje chaos.

Weta Karola Nawrockiego w sprawie ustawy wiatrakowej i pomocy Ukraińcom Maciej Konieczny z partii Razem uznaje za "wybitnie szkodliwe". - W kwestii energetyki są uzasadnione antywiatrakową fobią prawicy, a pomysł warunkowania 800 plus zatrudnieniem jest demolowaniem polskiego rynku pracy - powiedział poseł w Polskim Radiu 24. 

Dlaczego wyjmowanie polityki zagranicznej z debaty jest ryzykowne? Co zmienia się w naszej narracji o Ukrainie - “To spóźniony wyścig. Trzeba było jasno powiedzieć Ukrainie, gdzie są nasze interesy" twierdzi prof. Rafał Chwedoruk.

Bardzo trudna współpraca rządu z prezydentem i szereg marketingowych wpadek. Za nami pierwsze decyzje prezydenta Karola Nawrockiego i pierwsze weta. O wojnie polsko-polskiej w najnowszym Expressie Biedrzyckiej mówiła politolożka, Ewa Pietrzyk-Zieniewicz. Posłuchaj całej dyskusji! Oglądaj Express Biedrzyckiej na żywo w serwisie YouTube.

On this episode of the AI/XR Podcast, Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz welcome Brent Bushnell, co-founder of DreamPark, for an energizing conversation about the future of mixed reality entertainment. Brent shares how DreamPark turns public spaces into interactive theme parks using Meta Quest 3 headsets, enabling immersive gameplay on city streets, at malls, and even music festivals. The hosts reflect on the legacy of Magic Leap, the overlooked brilliance of the Magic Leap game Dr. Grordbort's Invaders, made exclusively for Magic Leap by New Zealand's WETA studio. Rony compares Brent's vision to Walt Disney, and the brainstorm an entire Dream Park business plan, discussing everything from retrofitting dead malls to launching pop-ups at Buc-ee's and Walmart. Along the way, they discuss the shortcomings of Apple Vision Pro, Magic Leap's lost potential, and the promise of scalable location-based XR. Equal parts XR therapy session and founder love-fest, this episode captures what happens when tech dreamers like Brent Bushnell find a working prototype.Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!

In this episode, Allan McKay sits down with Alex Wang, the Visual Effects Supervisor for the acclaimed HBO series The Last of Us, to break down the monumental VFX work behind the show's highly anticipated second season. Alex pulls back the curtain on the incredible challenges and creative triumphs of bringing the post-apocalyptic world to life, from the massive scale of the infected horde to the intricate details of hero creatures like the Bloater. He discusses the crucial balance between practical and digital effects, the importance of building trust with showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, and the seamless collaboration with world-class VFX houses like Weta, DNEG, and ILP. This conversation delves deep into the specific hurdles of Season 2, including a massive battle sequence Alex likens to "Helm's Deep," the complexities of a dramatic stormy water episode, and the creative pipeline from concept art to final shot. Alex shares how the team learned from Season 1 to push the boundaries of world-building and create environments that are both epic in scope and grounded in reality. This is a must-listen for any fan of The Last of Us and for visual effects artists and supervisors interested in the high-level strategy and creative problem-solving required to execute VFX on one of television's biggest shows. Topics Covered: The VFX of The Last of Us Season 2 Alex Wang's Role as VFX Supervisor Creating the Infected Horde and the Challenges of Crowd Simulation A Deep Dive into Season 2's Massive Battle Sequence Asset Creation for the Bloater and Other Infected Balancing Practical Effects with Digital Enhancements (Pyro, Weather, etc.) World-Building and Large-Scale Environment Extensions The Complexities of Creating the Stormy Water Sequence Collaboration with Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann Managing Multiple VFX Vendors (Weta, DNEG, ILP, Rise) The Creative Process from Concept Art to Final Shot Quotes: On the massive battle sequence: "I thought to myself, 'Craig, this is your Helm's Deep.'" On designing the infected horde: "These are civilians that became infected... their own story. So repetition is not something that we want." Resources: The Last of Us on HBO Weta FX DNEG Rise VFX Important Looking Pirates (ILP) Naughty Dog

We'd love to hear from you. Send us a text! The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists. It is very exciting to find people who think deep and hard thoughts about the work we do and the industry we work in. We are not short on people, who can teach us how to carry out the work, but the bigger questions about the VFX industry and our role in it, are harder to answer. Daniel Harkness, in addition to his work as a compositor and motion designer, writes his excellent observations on LinkedIn. I think for all of us, this period, in the industries of VFX, animation and games, has been a grim reminder that we are living in a house of cards. Many, if not all, artists have had to have some serious reflection on their career, and what their future will look like. Daniel's excellent writing is very useful to help understand the market forces that underpin our work, as well as the value each of us have in terms of dollars and cents.  I hope getting to know Daniel's writing can be as instructive and helpful for you too, as it has been for me. Daniel Harkness' website:https://www.danielharkness.com/   Daniel's excellent 8 part series on the value of a VFX artist:https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-my-value-vfx-artist-part-1-daniel-harkness/ Also mentioned in this episode is:The famous blog of VFX Soldier:https://vfxsoldier.wordpress.com/  Joseph Bell's insightful global overview of VFX:https://www.vfxatlas.com/  Why is VFX dying?

Sebastian Sylwan has a wealth of experience, having been CTO at Weta Digital, Scanline, and Felix & Paul Studios, as well as Director of Technology at Digital Domain. He's spent his career at the intersection of art and technology, helping world-class teams push the boundaries of visual effects, immersive media, and real-time workflows. In this episode, he reflects on the challenges of innovating in production environments—where the pressure to deliver can often stifle meaningful experimentation—and offers a thoughtful look at how our industry might evolve if we rethink our relationship with technology. We talk about what it means to be truly innovative, how to design systems that scale while still empowering artists, and why creative industries so often fall into patterns of short-term thinking. Sebastian also shares some candid thoughts on how leadership, culture, and communication play a critical role in making or breaking new ideas. If you've ever struggled to bring a great tool or pipeline into a legacy studio, or wondered why some groundbreaking tech never catches on, this episode is for you.
