This is a short from one of the all-time bangers of feature animation, "Memories." "Cannon Fodder" features an entire militarized civilization centered around an endless war with an unseen enemy, wherein the children are indoctrinated with the single purpose of fighting that war from grade school.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

One thing drives a certain kind of person crazy is that the simplest solutions to many human problems isnt technological, scientific or something that can be sold. Often the solution lies in social standards, beliefs and culture i.e. finding ways to treat people better simply because we want to.

(For the record I support deploying the military against the AI industry for laughs, not because it is a necessity for survival.)

people want a Zelda movie to be "what if Ocarina of Time was LotR" when what it should be is an 80-minute anime OVA released in the early 90's with the weirdest plot you've ever seen and at least one original character who was so endearing that it physically hurts they aren't in any of the games

episode of @killthecomputer.com going up tonight we talked about the new epstein file release and caleb is getting creative editing my “death threats” against the pedophile elite

the life of an animator rarely if ever comes with the prestige or recognition of live action cinema. there is no glitz, no glamour. its just long long hours with inks, cels, paper, light tables, and a million minute decisions. in this way it shares a lot with game dev most creators remain anonymous

knowing how the story has progressed for Satoshi Kon (RIP) and Aronofsky (pro-AI, rich) , this is a very sad thing to reflect on

SHIVERS - I NEED YOU. YOU CAN KEEP ME ON THIS EARTH. BE VIGILANT. I LOVE YOU.

Solace, motherfucker. Do. You. Seek. It?

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

lol this one made more sense on halloween when i made it in the hopes that doing a seasonal themed post would drum up some engagement on IG (it didnt). still like it tho

reeve loves his job #ff7rebirth

cloud pov thank you @lizhasfeathers.bsky.social for the idea!

Listen I do not care if this is the author's barely disguised fetish, if they're good at their damn job it will be MY barely disguised fetish while the story lasts and perhaps afterwards

Related: If you like anime, whether you realize it or not, you've probably marveled at an "Itano Circus;" an action scene featuring aerial combat, with loads of skittering projectiles chasing a target. This was developed by Ichirō Itano. Watch a compilation here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x8q...

The most upsetting thing about this is learning that there are entertaining posts on Threads, even if they’re insane

There are many reasons to help people. One that I think gets overlooked sometimes is: helping others often helps you. So if you feel like shit, don’t flagellate yourself in the dark. Leave your head a little. Extend some kindness. You can’t do everything, but you can do some things.

Stop waiting til you're good enough. You both never will be, and already are. ✨

I'm obsessed with this artist today John Atkinson Grimshaw His night scenes are INCREDIBLE I love how bright they are and it's still night.

Do you think god ever worries about whether we’ll forgive him

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Me my whole life: Nothing is black and white. You have to consider nuance Now: We face a heinous, remorseless evil

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

SLUTS is a crew, there are a few members known - Fuego, Skoler, Omex. They do really eye catching end to end burners on railcars, they are pretty wise to tag the crew name instead of individual names imgur.com/gallery/all-...
