As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Hot take: Generation designators (X, Millennial, Y) are dumb, and about as reliable a predictor of character, as the Zodiac. It’s just more tribalism that keeps us divided

I am SO SO SO excited for this one: youtu.be/n-N30EDugFQ?...

Thank you my fellow (voting) Californicators. Way to go.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Let’s gooooooooo NYC!! #Mamdani #Socialism #humanism #Antifascism

More performative flouncing. Just leave already…

Having a great time at the utterly brilliant #ViewConference in beautiful #Torino. Looking forward to speaking tomorrow about 50 years of inspiration from ILM. I post this image also to honor the legacy of the great Drew Struzan

Lovely to be back in #Torino and excited for #ViewConference2025 to begin!

Leaving today for the best event covering #Animation #VFX #Ar/Vr #Film the fabulous #ViewConference2025 ! Cant wait to get to #Torino!

The same, but more so …

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

For my money, one the greatest visual effects sequences of all time begins when Indy tells Marion not to look, and ends with the lid of the ark slamming down. Absolute perfection #VFX #Film

Coming very soon! I am honored once again to be presenting at View Conference 2025. There is an absolutely KILLER line up of speakers this year from the worlds of #Animation #VFX #AR/VR #Film Tune in, turn on, be inspired!

Two pieces of good news today, and I’m glad our trailer could be one of them. An army of filmmakers are working their butts off, and having a ball putting this all together. #TheMandalorianandGrogu #VFX #Animation #ThisIsTheWay #StarWars

I keep a little sign on my desk that says “I am lucky to be here!”, as a reminder to be grateful if I’m down or facing obstacles. I’m going to add this as well:

The producers of the new Downton Abbey film have really missed an opportunity. Should be set in modern day. The Abbey is now a boutique hotel, which the Crawley family now haunt. Proper hard R horror. Titled "Creepy Crawleys"

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Ganpati Bappa Morya!

Chef’s kiss…

Hello #India! This is my first visit to your beautiful country. I’m here visiting our team @ilmvfx.bsky.social Mumbai

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

Have had a wonderful first visit to Sydney to meet the team at our @ilmvfx studio there. Just one small snag on my last day: #VFX #Animation #Kaiju

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Jim Cameron on digital and physical effects: “It’s really the higher question of what are you trying to show, and what are you trying to say? I don’t attach some kind of dogmatic aesthetic around in-camera or practical... It’s really just a means to an end.” source: youtu.be/v_x3OZlnkwM?...

To the folks who have ignorantly insisted that digital VFX are a lazy cheat, that the computer does all the work, now is your moment. That is literally generative AI you’re describing #VFX #Animation #Film

🎶These are a few of my favorite things..🎶 #GraphicDesign

"Did you not realize what this would be, being f*cking Gestapo? Quit your job. It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming...anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!” A rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in #Kansas. www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/americans-...

We have been warned about this moment for all our lives. Now it's here. What will you do about it?

Name that scene: “Soooo look with care, for the shape of a square…”

Proud to say I helped bring the Shit-Weasel into being. #VFX #Animation

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before? That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators. My how times change ...

Well done NYC, well done

JAWS premiered in theaters fifty years ago today! So I'm posting the first experimental art video that I did, back when I was still working on my Quint (and Hooper) piece. Very happy that it's going to be in the upcoming Printed in Blood "JAWS: Artbook"!

Our little magic mountain #Hiking #Marin #MtTamalpais

San Rafael, Ca #NoKings

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Buying stock in popcorn …

Hiking the Dipsea trail, from Mill Valley, to Stinson Beach on an absolutely perfect Saturday #Hiking #Marin #California
