I adore Witch Hat Atelier. The anime has adapted the manga so beautifully. It's reignited a love for not only creating art but studying it and its history, so I was so happy when @crunchyroll.com reached out to partner on a commission. Please watch WHA! #crunchyrollpartner #witchhatatelier

This isn't a joke, it's not hyperbole, this is what they actually said - and GN mentioned the same is happening to companies like G. Skill who have been selling RAM to consumers for *decades*

ok stop doomscrolling you need to use your ethical human hands to draw your ethical human art made by yourself, a human

so about that trillionare status

If anyone knows of any software engineering roles (preferably Java), please hit me up! My partner lost his job recently, and our whole lives have kinda been shaken up as a result. Very keen to get back to normal, and not been employed is a great source of anxiety for him rn.

last week i wrote up a sort of explainer breaking down 1) why video game consoles are so expensive (it's not just RAM/storage), 2) the likelihood of price reductions (0% through 2027), and 3) second order effects (console shortages/zero stock/grey market gouging). www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

So was bitcoin. And NFTs. The only people who push the inevitability angle are the ones heavily invested in its success. Lots of people who are tactically responsible for actually delivering results aren’t so convinced just yet.

I am *never* going to get over the Court holding that targeted student loan forgiveness was a "major question" that Congress needed to weigh in on, but refusing to intervene to stop the dismantling of the entire cabinet agency overseeing the student loan program.

I’ve only now just discovered that Caine is in the running for this year’s Tumblr Sexyman, and he’s currently matched against Tenna. It’s the battle of the red-suited wacky weird-headed showmen who are probably (definitely) bottoms! I think they’d be good pals. www.tumblr.com/sexy-people-...

we need to be absolutely clear at every opportunity that tech becoming more expensive is a direct consequence of the generative AI boom and that it doesn't even affect just consumer devices too. if the steam machine ran $350 over its intended price point imagine what it's doing to medical devices

😹 come on now who is writing this season

It seems somewhat bad that the richest man in the world can use his money to bankrupt individuals or organizations -- including officials who are tasked with holding him accountable -- that accurately point out that his actions plausibly facilitated the deaths of millions.

I dunno if anyone else needs to hear this today besides me, but just in case: Being tired is not laziness. Resting is not laziness. They were wrong to mock and punish you for that growing up. Your body needs rest. You are allowed to rest. 💖

Reblogging for all my unemployed/struggling Bsky friendos too!

Storyboard artists are the backbone to animation. I was told countless times by working comic artists and animators, that character design is stupid competitive but if you can storyboard? you're in. Every single one of them also said that storyboarding is not an "easy" role

Please...

🕯️Manifesting 🕯️

I’ll give u several for storyboard - thumbnail fast but clear - study all film including anime + live action - consider lowering or raising the horizon - move the camera + characters - what’s your seq about? What’s the climax? - can u combine shots? - get your work done on time - don’t be a dick

AI-backed super PACs “have been among the most prolific political spenders so far in the 2026 midterm elections, splashing out more than $38 million to date.” A must-read deep dive on dark money by @bwieder.bsky.social for @latimes.com

I’ve had straight men essentially say I’m overreacting for talking about rising internet censorship under the guise of protecting children, which is how I know it’s probably going to be an even bigger problem than I thought

Do not draw your comic's inspirations solely from other comics. Speaking as an editor with a slush pile: It's incredibly obvious when a comic creator is clearly only reading/absorbing/remixing other comics. It's not good.

Please, please stay strong my refurbished friend…

There is going to be new movement on KOSA next week Contact your representatives and demand that they oppose KOSA and the KIDS Act www.congress.gov/members/find...

The RAMpocalypse has claimed another victim with the $1049 Steam Machine, but that's probably not the price Valve had in mind for its mini gaming PC. https://bit.ly/4aa2buY #IGNSummerOfGaming

I don’t want shots that are all staged dead center of frame - dull and lifeless. I don’t want camera moves that lack motivation. I don’t want a story that isn’t elevated and improved. That’s why I’ll keep hiring and working with storyboard artists.

I can’t think of a Venn diagram with less overlap than A24 fans and AI fans. Also as others are pointing out they are spending more on AI than they would to hire storyboard artists for many many years. Frankly this just proves they could and should be paying artists more.

Oh yeah well can ai do this? *drinks too much coffee on an empty stomach and has anxiety over how to UV a log in Blender*

yeah I really doubt Valve wanted to do this but fucking Crypto and AI has skyrocketed like 40% of the parts involved in this and since AI companies buy in such quantity I'm sure suppliers are prioritizing them

The funny thing is that Ive been a storyboard artist for 30 years and Im well far off sitting on millions here. We are the cheapest you’ll make your film before it’s shot. We have ideas and experience and cost less than the rental of a lighting rig for a few weeks on our entire run on a show

IGN - 'The Steam Machine Was Originally Meant to Cost About $750' based on Valve saying the increase was "probably similar" to price increase that the Steam Deck experienced last month (article incorrectly says Steam Machine increase last month, I assume they mean Deck) www.ign.com/articles/the...

The intentionality behind storyboarding is so metatextual there's really next to no chance it's actually going to succeed at doing this. AI can only emulate surface level aesthetic, it will have no idea why a shot is framed from below or whatever. It will just make shit up

if there's one thing I want anim/film industry people to do in the fight against AI, it's to make sure no art department gets thrown under the bus as expendable none of this "MY department is the last thing that should be touched by AI" no departments none please

I hate Ai being used at any point of a production but I cannot understand why people think it sounds better to say that you only used it at the early stages of pre-production. That's the fun bit!! The ideas bit!! The creative bit!! The bit that makes your story YOURS.

Suraj has a point.

For $1040 for an entry-level device, whose performance is seemingly on par with my current rig? I’m sadly priced out of what really seemed like a stellar device. Consumers get screwed again. God this AI bubble cannot burst soon enough. Maybe like 1 person responsible will be mildly inconvenienced.

COOL. Cool cool cool. Love the solidarity in Hollywood. What a shame...

"Performative reading" is a psyop to maintain low literacy rates. "Analog hobbies and physical media collecting are over-consumption" are too while we're at it. Gen-Z are getting off algorithmic social media owned by nazis and are picking up a book? Quick, how can we make this seem cringe??

Hell yeah, get that bag Viv!

Eehhh so….is she looking for any character designers for this?? 👉👈

People should be voting *every* election. Not just once every four years.

dudes rock
