Another animation exercise in Procreate Dreams with Madeline and some effects. Wanted to keep things more loose than last time though ^^

If you need a pixel artist, I'm available for work again!

pretty sure I said this before the last time this quote was on the TL but the more confident you are about conveying your idea as-is the less lame it is. it becomes lamer the more you coat it in irony and/or self-deprecation

I predicted that even if their AI found ways to improve efficiency, Google's energy use would go up, not down. Seven years later and this is where we're at:

This kinda reiterates why physical media is so important. Because if all our history books become digital, they can change records of the truth on a whim.

I'm helping produce this and it would be so cool and sexy of you if you supported it

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

I've said this before but if a library went and dedicated an area to just renting movies, and remodeled the entire area to look like an old blockbuster, and used old movie racks, and sold snacks as well, they'd make such a fucking killing. it'd catch on like a wildfire

Canadian residents & citizens; I would highly recommend signing this one

Both are fine but even better if you suspend a hand towel or tshirt vertically above the bucket with bottom submerged in the water. Water soaks upwards in the material and you get a larger evaporative cooling area for the air to blow around.

after seeing this post I had to know so I got a pack of Yardley London's Perfumed Beauty Talc (imperial jasmine scent fyi), dusted a little bit on my cintiq and spread it around, and.... ...magic??? my pen is gliding like i just got it brand new wtf I fully endorse!! thank u RCD... how exciting

Never forget that most of the rage and fear we are swimming in was deliberately manufactured to control us

Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.

My first ep credited as episodic director recently dropped 🥳 Hope you guys are tuning in to s3!

🌟 #TADC EP9 SPOILERS 🌟 My first storyboard assignment on Digital Circus, based on thumbnails by @gooseworx.bsky.social, which I was so happy to have, coming on so late in the game. Jax quickly became my favorite character to draw and I really enjoyed picking out acting for all four of them here

I've compiled all recordings of each pose and slowed the speed a bit so you can have a better look at the process. I really enjoyed rendering these. Bsky edit: had to speed the vid a little bit so I don't reach the 3min limit #spyro #timelapse

Godot’s new AI policy is here. the TL;DR: all code must human authored.

Here's why you should care about the trans athletes case today: Because if discrimination on the basis of gender identity doesn't violate equal protection, trans people can be segregated, outed, denied medical care, denied housing, denied jobs, and excluded by the government.

Reminder that thousands of female athletes across America are going to have their access to sports limited because of a witch hunt to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. xtramagazine.com/culture/olym...

Something different this week—a column about coping with the unending tide of bad news in the game industry (and beyond). It's difficult to express, but I'm not a pessimist about all this. There is a way through—but we don't know what it looks like, and in the meantime, boy does everything hurt.

you ppl still on Spotify why? we got options with actual stances on slop in music

Before anyone begins doomposting: There are still two stops it has to pass before it gets into law. And the senate doesn't like the House version of KOSA so there's a chance it doesn't pass. But don't just assume.

Good

It’s weird al not wired al is that anything

The climax in World is Dancing #01 is stunning on its own, but even better in contrast to the initial performance. There's a clear conversation between the mechanical polish of his father's dance and the raw emotion of a woman lashing out against the world, which similarly bleeds into the animation

The stories in this article are absolutely insane.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Absolutely. Online was the one place I could be girl and explore how that made me feel after a lifetime of having those feelings violently repressed on my behalf. www.vox.com/culture/2019...

enjoying pride together 🏳️‍🌈🥳

this is actually a good reminder that you should delete the tracking nonsense off of any url that you share online. just delete everything after the ? (including the question mark) and share like you usually would

The Wachowski sisters didn't use 120 cameras to film one shot just so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Star Fox sometimes reminds me of group projects in school

ICYMI: Suzuki Masa was a samurai's daughter who used her rare English skills to bring Florence Nightingale's methods to Japan. She founded one of Japan's first dispatch nursing networks and pushed for nurses to be paid as professionals, not venerated as saints.

Finally got around to doing a drawing of Mina

Ai companies had been so annoying and kept saying shit like Adapt or PERISH!" "Ai is the future there is no stopping it!" Wearing it like a badge of honor. Now Steam is all like. We need to disclose what devs are using Ai in their games. "HEY! That's not COOL BRO! We don't want people to know!"

I really should finish this one of these days. #sailormoon #wip

Shocking no one
