People want to sell that AI is taking jobs away in animation but tbh, at least from my viewpoint as a worker in the US, a lot of shows staffing up are still working the same pipeline as before. There's just not as many shows due to a) correction from streaming bubble and b) more importantly, greed

THE OSCARS DON'T RESPECT ANIMATION?! Here's our THIRD BONUS UMBERT EP, brought to you by our EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BACKERS!!!

This deal is no good for anyone AND doesn’t make sense financially. @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov can you please block this deal? It will be devastating for California workers, not to mention free speech.

I did this and so can you. It’s easy.

So freakin' stoked to tell you that I wrote for this show! Adventure Time: Side Quests! Streaming 6/29 on Hulu and airing 10/5 on Cartoon Network Global. Can't wait for the world to see this because the crew made something really special!

New poster for ‘Adventure Time: Side Quests’. Premiering June 29th on Hulu in the United States and October 5th on Cartoon Network globally.

This took me a couple of minutes. We have to stop coddling the willfully ignorant who present the existence of humans different from themselves as an “issue”. Trans people are people. Let’s go!

Clear discrimination. It took me a couple of minutes to make a comment.

While it’s true that some animation is for small children, it can be big business!

What if I could see into the future, but just far enough to get Wordle in two.

They say that you have to be your own best advocate but I would prefer to be neutral.

Some shameless self-promo today. I've been writing an indie animated series for quite some time and would love to get it to more people! If you like cozy slice of life and late 90s/early 2000s vibes, you'll LOVE Failing Upward. Give us a watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0NL...

Touched this and now I have to wash my hands forever.

With Trump planning to bomb Iran's bridges and power plants, it seems that infrastructure week is finally here.

Folks in LA, can you help find footage of this crime?

72% of his body was burned. 7 soldiers saved. 16 years before his country gave him the Medal of Honor. His name was Alwyn Cashe. On October 17, 2005, Sergeant First Class Alwyn Cashe's Bradley Fighting Vehicle was hit by an IED in Iraq and burst into flames. Cashe was drenched in fuel.

Is jeopardy spelled that way in case anyone needs a rhyme for leopardy?

Yayyy! @mrjefftrammell.bsky.social

Trump is putting his name on US Bills as opposed to their usual place on unpaid bills.

Republicans are not fiscal conservatives and they never were. They are con artists who cry about the deficit while funneling your tax dollars to their friends who make weapons and drill for oil.

College radio is so important because it’s one of the last places to hear truly independent voices and it’s accessible to anyone who either has Internet access or an antenna. Please give to KXLU and support a non corporate provider of music and more. youtu.be/2_slmujhTrI?...

I came out with this book a year ago, and already so much has changed in Jewish history I clearly need a 2nd edition. So if you haven’t gotten a copy yet, please show my publisher there’s demand for more (more books, that is, PLEASE not more history!) www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Je...

“Well! No wonder! … Look who’s been loose the whole evening!”

Stories are like gardens that are nurtured — twisting along unanticipated paths, as they reveal themselves to even the authors. If you relinquish all choices too early, give them up in the name of efficiency, fully formed from the outset — you lose something. Wander curiously.
