Vancouver locals: please sign/send a letter in support of the motion by @seanorr.bsky.social & Pete Fry to ban ICE from coming to our home during FIFA. www.votecope.ca/no-ice

If indie animation is gonna have any viability, I must stress that it is important to have a good producer to figure out the money and manage the production team. I will keep banging this drum because it isnt enough to have skilled artists or writers without someone who can manage resources.

Tumbler Ridge is a small planned resource community, a winding 90 minute drive from the nearest city of at least 10,000 people. A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow. May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.

New from me: The growth of private-pay long-term care demonstrates insufficient investment in public long-term care in BC—forcing many to pay out of pocket or go without. #bcpoli

Canadian flags on government buildings to fly at half-mast for 7 days after mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. “Our nation mourns with the community.”

Anyone else tired of needing to think of what new software they might need to move to 😮‍💨. I guess I'll look at Stoat

“Amsterdam is set to ban climate-damaging advertising [fossil fuel and meat adverts] in public spaces, following a trend spreading across Dutch cities. France has also enacted legislation outlawing adverts from non-renewable energy companies, and one Italian city has plans to do the same.”

Two things I’m not sure is widely understood: 1. Many public servants no longer have their own desks and work in transient government co-working spaces 2. Many describe a Kafkaesque existence of going to physical offices only to spend their time on video calls with the people sitting next to them

"God Bless America" and then lists every country in the Americas. Bad Bunny crushed the Super Bowl.

HEY THEY SAID CANADA THAT’S WHERE WE’RE FROM (that was amazing)

Nahanyan, a railway worker black cat, is the mascot for the Kamakura Rolling Stock Center (Nakahara Branch), who fix and maintain trains.

So like “how fast can you write a book?” Isn’t the challenge you think it is, m’ lady

Watch this. There’s no “moving on” without justice. #Epstein

The Line 5 launch went quite well in my personal opinion, and I'm going to have a detailed and I would say quite positive post on the line later today. But first I want to provide some things I really think should be fixed. The TTC to their credit was actually asking for this!

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

"How do you get someone to realize that they’re in a dual state when its darker half has not yet touched their life personally?" If all else fails, try the “grandkid test”: 50 years from now, will our grandkids be proud of how - or even if - we stood up for justice?

I want an indie animation scene that resembles the indie game dev scene. its so collaborative, innovative and theres a genuine path to making money. that last part seems to be the biggest hurdle for us.

Did you know that B.C. had a program that funded before and after-school care for kindergarteners IN the classroom - and included an ECE for schooltime as well? Parents will realize how big a deal this is. The province has now ended the funding for this. #bced thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Capitalism is so ✨️dynamic✨️ that if you tell investors half the global economy will be wiped out in 50 years, they make plans to extract as much value until right before it happens, and to make sure their half isn't the one that gets wiped out.

Lovely day for a walk. #MadeWithUnity #LostInDreams #gamedev #indiedev

Media promises to only fall for the ‘maybe Poilievre has changed’ story 4-5 more times (podcast)

Name them shame them

With Adobe being very unreliable in the present circumstances with Animate I have been seeing a particular list going around of "Adobe Alternatives". I don't think this list is written by Animation Industry savvy folks so I'd like to present my thoughts on alternatives with each plus and minus 1/15

Hey, @adobe.com, this is a deeply strange way to respond. We didn't midunderstand you. You very clearly changed your policy on Adobe Animate in response to backlash.

tuned into Vancouver council briefly just in time to enjoy this question to staff from Councillor Klassen www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhBR...

Prévisions de COVID pour le Canada : 31 JAN - 13 FEV, 2026 SÉVÈRE : AB, MB, NB, ÎPÉ, SK TRÈS ÉLEVÉ : CAN, Nord, NÉ, ON, QC ÉLEVÉ : CB, TNL MODÉRÉ : aucun Environ 1 personne sur 122 est actuellement infectée au Canada.

I implore you to take a 10-minute break from whatever you’re doing right now to watch The Mitten - you will not be sorry! (Thanks for the new find, @ani-obsessive.bsky.social!)

If anyone else wants an Adobe Animate alternative, I can’t recommend Moho enough. It’s affordable, it’s efficient, it’s been used in feature films from Cartoon Saloon like Wolfwalkers, and the best part…NO Ai whatsoever.

relevant to many of yalls interests.

I also recommend this for anybody who has an interest in safety or security. The basic ideas talked about are relevant in any field where you want to build a system that is resilient to human error. I'm in cyber security and found it very relevant to my mindset.

There are so many sticker manufacturers available the don’t support ice. Don’t use Sticker Mule, EVER.

Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest. ssd.eff.org/module/atte...

There will be two protests today against B.C.-based companies who are doing business with ICE. The first at Hootsuite's HQ in Mount Pleasant starting at 3:00; the second in front of the Pattison Group's office downtown.

Great piece here from Mia: "The main function of slop is to take something from you: your time, your attention, your trust. It is passive in that it requires nothing from viewers but to sit back and consume"

look at this fucking creep. there are children in this home.

holy shit!! BLENDER IS THE INDUSTRY STANDARD NOW BOY, MAYA WHO

In Solidarity with Nationwide General Strike US, Immigrants, and those beign terroirized by ICE, Stumpt is not streaming on Twitch today. Our communties are in constant danger from ICE & Border Patrol. Join us in doing what you can to stop ICE. Every little action truly counts!

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Trump’s deployment of federal troops has cost taxpayers nearly $500 million so far — and could surpass $1 billion for the rest of the year. That’s after slashing SNAP and Medicaid, letting ACA subsidies expire, and gutting countless other federal programs. Priorities.

WATCH: When @penalosag.bsky.social asked me a few years ago to join him in his YouTube series on parks & cities, I knew I wanted to talk about the common (and frustrating) false choice between more density and more integration of nature into cities. So we went deep into that. Give it a watch/share.
