a handful of panels from a sequence I did in zootopia 2. it was a delight to play in this world (and work with this team)!

Not great news; turns out there’s a super fun US law that restricts it so that only cities with a population of over 700,000 can present a case like this (demanding a block to the WB merger sale)to a federal court. A blatant move to keep smaller cities from being able to sue corporations. (1/3)

many films use flashbacks to the protagonist's childhood as a storytelling element in a way that older films didn't. Perhaps its a pervasive shorthand bc we are some of the first generations who can watch ourselves as kids on home video?

Ireland has approved plans to permanently implement a basic income program that will support up to 2,200 artists. A cost-benefit analysis found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 back. Officials from other countries are now expressing interest in the program.

Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions. These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water. AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price.

Trump has signed an Executive Order officially approving the sale of TikTok to a group of U.S. companies. That includes Oracle, owned by billionaire and Trump donor Larry Ellison, whose media company now oversees CBS News and may soon control CNN. What could go wrong?

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT. I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

Trans rights are human rights.

If you claim to care about marginalized people, but don’t wear a mask in public, you don’t care ab ALL marginalized ppl The irony is u could become immunocompromised / chronically ill at any time You’re 1 COVID infection away from being 1 of us Research shows that COVID damages your immune system

Covid is airborne: there's no evidence of fomite transmission (i.e. from surfaces). Covid hangs in the air like smoke & lingers in rooms with bad ventilation, hours after infected people have left. Those baggy blue surgical masks are pretty useless anyway - we've been gaslit from the outset by govt.

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have revealed a synthetic glycosystem -a sugar-coated polymer nanoparticle- that can BLOCK SARS-CoV-2 from infecting human cells, REDUCING infection rates by NEARLY 99%. Acting as a decoy, the molecule BINDS to the spike protein, PREVENTING it from attaching to real cells.

they are murdering the people who tell the truth.

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.” Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

This is why billionaires love AI

It should never be controversial to speak up about mass starvation. Having regular access to safe and nutritious food is a human right.

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”

“Since AFP was founded in 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts, some have been injured, others taken prisoner. But none of us remember witnessing colleagues die of hunger"

“Superman is too woke!” Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

Pandemics and mass disabling events have historically given rise to fascism. Why? People are terrified of the disabled. They don’t want to see or think about it. Pandemics force them to consider their own mortality. So when governments start labeling us as “expendable”, folks jump on board.

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

They vowed to “Make America Healthy Again.” Instead, they: Kicked millions of people off health insurance Closed hundreds of hospitals, nursing homes, and reproductive health clinics Cut billions of dollars from science research Fired government scientists and replaced them with antivaxxers

BREAKING: The House just passed the massive budget bill. This legislation will gut health care, food assistance, clean energy and more to fund massive tax cuts for the super-rich. It now goes to Trump's desk.

BREAKING: Zeteo has released, globally, the film the BBC so controversially refused to air. "Gaza: Doctors Under Attack" is now available to watch in full at gazadoctors.film and zeteo.com. Here's the trailer:

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

if you don’t know the history of Dodger Stadium you can’t fully understand what unfolded today. thanks @chrislhayes.bsky.social for the opportunity to share it.

Powerful sign from a #NoKings protest in Washington state. Vaccines save lives!

This is why disabled people have been begging you to mask up for years. This is why we’ve said that mask bans pose a threat to our survival. This is why we don’t want folks to say ICE agents are “wearing masks”. Society is being conditioned to see masking as “bad”. It will kill us.

we’ve got a bunch of parents voluntarily guarding the elementary school gates if you want to know how LA feels this morning

Long Covid is now the most common chronic condition in children in the U.S.

trumps a little bitch

Big balls showing up at work tomorrow:

Elon right now.

once again I must tap my own sign

storyboarding is an exercise in prioritizing

So many cool people I’ve met are hurting because it’s a jobs desert in animation out here. A career I’ve dreamed about is withering and needs sustainable help.

PLEASE, EVERYONE, SIGN THIS. It's a pre-written letter to send off to State Officials for Animation Tax Incentives. Everyone unemployed for months in California NEEDS THIS, PLS.

I signed it today too. It’s so easy to do. There’s a pre written letter that you can even edit and make your own! I’m not even in California anymore but deeply care about this issue and how it affects our industry, please spread the word and sign!

You don't even have to use your brain you literally just enter in some information and a bunch of pre-written e-mails go out and suddenly jobs, entertainment jobs everywhere – but only if we put the pressure on!

Seconding this, people outside the city might not realize it but entertainment industry jobs in Los Angeles are in a DIRE state and we need all the help we can get to keep work in LA. The city and the people in it can’t afford to lose jobs like we have been

OFMD community, we supported the industry during the strikes and the industry needs our help again to keep film and animation jobs in California. Especially if you live here - please fill this out! I changed the wording to state I’m a fan of film & tv, since I’m not industry. It’s super easy!

If you love and care for animation, please take 10 seconds to fill out this form and send it to your representatives. We need to take action now and it's never been easier to let your voice be heard. Thanks!

I was supposed to start on a feature two months ago but that went quiet, so here I am re-re-restating that I'm available for Directing, Storyboards, Revisions and Narrative Design / Writing roles for Feature, TV and Games. Help me pay my rent and I'll help you make awesome cinematics and episodes.

When you do this, be sure to customize the letter to fit your story. I am not in the entertainment industry, but my friends are; I did some small edits to make the letter fit me.

Send a letter. Help an artist!

Please. We want to keep making the cartoons you and your kids love.
