The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

It's this but then the exterminator sends you text messages asking for more money every 3 hours for the rest of your life

It's funny how every time people are physically revulsed by genAI, the slop purveyors instantly switch from bragging about how much time and effort it saves to talking up how hard it is. "It took me 6 weeks to mold this statue made out of dogshit! I haven't seen my family in months!"

"A woman dressed as a pink Power Ranger hacked a dating site for far-right extremists. She deleted the entire site, but first she made users fall in love with AI bots she ran, thus obtaining information about them. Over 8,000 far-right profiles have now been mapped."

It's a bit weird how many people insist "socialism = vow of poverty"

Yeah, having kids will do that.

I've spent the year writing and drawing stuff that's yet to be finished/released, so it's an easy way to trick my mind (and what audience I have) into believing I've accomplished nothing. Here's hoping I can put that stuff out in 2026. At least I actually got to pitch this year.

The reprints of the Looney Tunes Platinum Collections don't come with the booklets, so pressing "Play All" gets to be a complete surprise to me.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: i got easily tricked by a moron and it took me years to realize it THE MEDIA: wow! may we hear your insights??

“Content” is a corpo-brain term, makes me cringe when I hear it in the wild. You don’t make “content”, you make ART! You write STORIES. Its your WORK (and often play too)! “Content” is the noise you flick through when trying to find a SHOW you like, don’t cheapen your work comparing it to SLOP. 😤

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

I am once again asking you to not fall for what is obviously a billionaire hatched plot to make us even MORE docile and defenseless

I found a collection of Jim Henson's Storyteller. Man, I miss the creativity that guy had. We haven't had an auteur for puppetry since. He's known for his comedic characters, but I really feel like his heart was in fantasy.

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

ME IN 2015: Man FUCK this year, I can’t wait until it’s over TIME-TRAVELER ME FROM 2025: In 10 years you will think of 2015 as “the last good year” TIME-TRAVELER ME FROM 2035: Buddy,

The entire Disney universe is just a gaslighting of Goofy. Your best friend buys someone who looks just like you and has them run around naked in the backyard? And you just continue on at the function like everything is okay?

Man imagine if California made its wealthy people pay real, fair taxes and used some amount of that money to make art grants for tv shows on the level with the stuff Canada was doing in the 90’s. Everyone in the MPI would have a job again.

Like it feels to me we're at the terminal endpoint of decades of passively nodding and going "Oh, yeah, sure, safety, sure, whatever" while doing whatever we wanted anyways, and now we're at "Look, we're just gonna let software kill some folks because it's faster and makes number go up."

Saw that "The Drew Carey Show" is available on streaming for the first time in years, so I looked up the "Cleveland Rocks" opening since I remember loving that so much... but, uhh, I'd forgotten what the Cleveland baseball team was at the time and... yeahhhhh...

When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Finding ways the preserve old TV in HD is fascinating, considering the technical restraints of the time. Digital copies stored on analogue tape? Like a Z-X Spectrum game? Studios need to do what they can while they can! We'll only have easy access to that retro tech for so long!

Over on tumblr someone posted this in response to the same observation.

I know I’m not the first person to say it but the hyper commercialization of the Grinch story is pretty sad and a perfect illustration of the ability of capital to absorb critiques painlessly

is a Grinch a kind of Krampus?

How ballsy do you have to be to write a gag that only works if you hire a specific guest animator?

"users quickly bypassed the AI's safeguards by prompting it to roleplay as"- ok so what I'm hearing again and again, is they've built a dumb guy in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. You just gotta run back into frame in a wedding dress and now the AI thinks you're getting married. Robots are now all Elmer Fudd

I don't know how a three-year-old picked up on "6-7," but mine has elevated it comedically by repeatedly exclaiming "Six Sev-poop!"

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

"prompt theft" is funny as hell like oh no somebody did the same google search as me. grow up

❄️PUNCH PUNCH FOREVER! Christmas Panic!❄️ new vid out now!! ⚠️YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni4Y... ⚠️NG: www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/...

I voice 14 different characters in THE ELEPHANT on HBO Max, this was one of the most unique, fascinating projects i've ever worked on, three different teams led by Pendleton Ward, Rebecca Sugar + Ian Jones-Quartey, and Patrick McHale all contributed segments without ever seeing the others (1/2)

Telling me that Trump will suffer in jail and lose all of his ill-gotten gains, but only if Clinton endures the same is like telling me that I can have two million dollars instead of one million.

I was on retakes for act three and got to animate my own little bit on the robot's TV screen involving a watermelon man and a bee (based on a doodle I was provided). Please check it out if you can! There's nothing like it!

cannot believe 12 years of my adult will have been in trumps era, exiting this absurd period is going to feel good as fuck

"But we hire REAL artists!" the man screams, tears streaming down his red cheeks. "We CARE about the integrity of art!" He pauses briefly to let out a slow, wet fart. His bowels churn with anxiety; he knows he's been caught, but he's in too deep now. "We only use AI for reference!" He shits himself.

not that it would convince any AI turds but this is the best way to explain it They want the tip of the triangle with nothing under it

I remember growing up with the Garfield game and wondering why the box and manual had so many screenshots for stuff that wasn't in the finished product. Thank goodness for the nerds bent on preservation!

Whether it’s trans rights, or genocide funding, or all sorts of corrupt corporate laws, there’s only so many times you can fuck over your voters before you make yourselves our enemy. It’s madness to think you deserve unconditional support just for sometimes being a bit better than actual Nazis.

Grrrr... PEOPLE AREN'T RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS, WEALTH INEQUALITY IS PREVENTING CREATIVE PEOPLE FROM REALISING THEIR IDEAS, GOODNIGHT!

I loved this show! I was so pissed that the finale didn't even air. It had to be leaked sometime after. The MTV website even had Flash-animated character interactions that were also hilarious, but now possibly lost to time.

Cruella-esque prologue where gaston's parents are pushed off a balcony to their deaths by a woman who can read

This is more honest than the Time thing

How were there enough survivors of covering a rapidly drying out tree in candles indoors for the tradition to evolve into what it is today?

Zootopia 2 is the highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year & Kpop Demon Hunters was Netflix's most popular movie of all time, but fuck animators, am I right? I hate reading about how huge & beloved this stuff is while knowing how hard creators have it & how it still isn't broadly taken seriously

YouTube, as an entity, is a fucking imbecile. It is a dumbass website run by dumbasses who for years have been paid to do no fucking work. In fact, the only area in which they put effort is finding new ways to do no work. YT management is the biggest scam on the entire platform.
