A reminder that I did a whole (RAMBLEY UNEDITIED) talk about motivations of animation timing. I was formulaic with my timing and all my characters moved the same because I thought the goal was visual smoothness. Learning about the other factors of timing and their effect is key to switching it up!

The government rolled back the FDAs demand that makeup companies test talc based products for Asbestos. Is there a testing kit i can buy?? I don’t want to give up my eyeshadows and NARS blush but i’ll go all cream products if i am forced to 😭

Thanks for noticing costar

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller January 22,1974

The wee hours wherein I awake for but a moment, to partake in my daily lament. (I typed this then realized it sounds like something QUITE other than my anxiety meds dulling and the panic of failure setting in.)

My nephew has unearthed my childhood Care-Bear, “Wish Bear.” Who I have apparently been misgendering since about 1985. [known mostly to me all my life as “the blue one with the star”]

We’ve long fought to own the means of production; it’s become clear we need to own the means of distribution. Who is going to help me develop a cartoon for @means.tv? Is it possible to start an animation cooperative with no funding, but excellent art, writing, and skill? Only one way to find out!

Using AI and telling everyone you’re an artist is the same as going to a restaurant and telling everyone you’re a chef.

There was recently a large acquisition of an animation company I worked at and all you see of it across social media are words of congratulations, but nothing of the anxiety by artists who worry they not have a job as a result of the merger in the coming months.. it’s a bit frustrating

As someone who teaches an animation computer program in an institution of higher learning I feel I am doing a disservice to the next generation of animators, and myself, by not teaching them how to improve their drawing on paper.

I love how the instant Dorothy enters the Emerald City, the entire town's reaction is "Girl, you need a makeover NOW"

Being off all social media except this and linkedin apparently means i’m waging a professional war against ai a lot sooner than i anticipated. “I will fight science with wood” - @strutzart.bsky.social

Linnertime!

Do you ever think about how the arguments for AI are actually arguments for a robust socialism? “I was so poor I couldn’t afford supplies to make art or music, so paying for ai gives kids a chance to…” WHAT IF INSTEAD OF AS A FUNDING AI COMPANIES WE FUNDED ART, MUSIC, AND EDUCATION YOU DOOFUS?!

Yup. There he is!

I remember this Wall Street Journal graphic claiming that CEOs work 55 hour weeks, and maybe only 6 hours of it outside of meetings would be unambiguously considered work if they were in an entry level position.

My nephew said he was going to eat all the presents at christmas. I asked what they’d taste like. “Salmon.”

The Left Bible Zack Polanski nails the reality: the gap between a millionaire and a billionaire isn’t “a bit more money” - it’s a completely different universe. This is why taxing extreme wealth matters. 👏

Looking for past Garfield Macy's balloons. Found a new reaction image

It’s challenging being this angry all the time, I’m considering taking up being a silly little guy.

for @404media.co i wrote about Slop Evader, a plugin by artist Tega Brain which filters all your web searches to only include results from before November 30, 2022 — the day that ChatGPT was released to the public.

Blood in the Machine is a pretty solid lil read/listen if you enjoy worker’s rights and think that the displacement of human endeavor by automation for the enrichment of those controlling the technology may not be of that great a benefit to society as a whole.
