Today is #MonkeyDay so here’s my Sun Wukong the Monkey King, hero of Chinese folklore (and throughout Asia) as well as the 16th century novel by Wu Cheng’en, ‘Journey to the West’.
Before embarking on his humorous epic adventure (and ultimately helping to recover Buddhist sutras) this irrepressible character was born from a stone, becomes a King of monkeys, acquires immortality through 🧵
My linocut print of Sun Wukong or Monkey. In my print Monkey is helping himself to those Peaches of Immortality. The block is printed by hand in dark brown ink onto lovely 8”x 10” pearlescent paper in a golden cream colour, with collages washi (chine-collé) papers for his blue jacket, orange striped tiger skin pants, red striped phoenix feathers and peaches (pale orange fruit with green leaves).
I wrote about adding "monkey nuts" to my #Godot game in which players control a monkey with a big hammer, and how it led to the development of an free asset.
Face to face with the wild wisdom of nature.
In those eyes — curiosity, calmness, and a hint of mischief. Monkeys remind us how deeply we’re connected to nature — and how much we can still learn from it.

This is a white-faced capuchin (Cebus capucinus), photographed a few years ago in Roatan, Honduras. Its expression feels almost philosophical—like it's contemplating the meaning of the universe.
If you enjoy wildlife and nature photography, check out my photo gallery here:
"Perched gracefully on a thick, woody vine, a white-faced capuchin monkey gazes upward with quiet intensity. Its face is pale and expressive—like a mask of curiosity—framed by a dark hood of fur that cloaks its head and body. Two small hands grip the vine with delicate precision, fingers curled like tiny question marks. The monkey’s posture is alert yet serene, as if caught mid-thought or mid-prayer beneath the canopy.
Behind it, a lush blur of green foliage forms a soft, dappled backdrop—suggesting a tropical forest alive with breath and birdsong. Gentle lighting highlights the contrast between the monkey’s ivory face and its shadowy coat. Its eyes, wide and dark, seem to search the sky for something unseen—perhaps a rustle, a memory, or a mythic signal.
The photograph is sharply focused on the capuchin, allowing every strand of fur and wrinkle of skin to speak. The signature “Swede's Photographs” in the bottom right corner marks this as a moment captured with reverence and skill." - Microsoft Copilot with edits
Meet the capuchin monkey: Curious, creative and vengeful.
From @KnowableMag: "UCLA’s Susan Perry has devoted decades to studying the fast-motion life of these New World primates and learning how the young acquire the skills they need to thrive."
Where can I read the best, clearest articulation of the opposing view, the argument that some kind of training/RLHF/whatever really can make a qualitative difference in model reliability?
