MAKE ME THE PAPER ANIMATION CZAR I AM READY! @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social H/T @karlicartoons.bsky.social

Lars could be having the redemption arc of the century right now.

Some of you AI freaks didn’t have friends who got sued by Metallica and it shows.

Happy Friday! Overprinting of three strengths of colours, 1940.

A rumor has started that I am no longer teaching but unfortunately for my haters I indeed am still teaching toon boom, have a fully enrolled class, and am taking on guiding an independent study on animating to music.

It’s really annoying that I have stuff I want to do and that I have to be the one to do it.

During our "Finding Focus" WIP Roundtable Discussion yesterday, the struggle that is the news cycle and the feeling of needing to keep up with every horrifying detail came up. One solution discussed (that I absolutely love) is the idea of making it a 1x/week ritual via analog newspaper. 🗞️

Time to get off bsky and put on my human suit one leg at a time just like a normal human-non-mutant does every day.

a little on the nose for current events but i was also thinking music videos are actually good though youtu.be/aDaOgu2CQtI

The fact that ICE are in Minneapolis specifically terrorizing communities of color has everything to do with the public outcry against the 2020 police murder of George Floyd. And the fact that it is a small enough big city for this secret police force to launch an offensive. Do not normalize this.

Added it to Chrome and can verify it works, thank god

In summary:

Improve a movie title by adding "With Big Naturals" Bram Stoker's Dracula With Big Naturals

Despite Hochul's opposition, Mamdani renewed his call for higher taxes on the highest earners in the state Wednesday. He also announced new rules banning hotel operators in the city from charging so-called “junk fees.” Read more: http://specne.ws/No5kTK

The fact that this is coming from the AFL-CIO and not your local armchair anarchist is massive. ✊ Something to keep tabs on and materially support!

I just saw my feed on @krl.bsky.social ‘s phone and…oh no. 🪞👀

I have been focusing on local politics, did the Epstein files get underacted yet?

What people describe as a housing crisis, is in reality, an affordability crisis. Call it what it is. Piecemeal solutions like luxury towers will not solve the problem. Nor drive down rents. Stop pretending a building with 60% luxury units will solve an affordability issue.

Just Giving People Money is the fucking groundhog day of pilot programs

FOIA HOW YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE USING AI and then kick them out of office.

This is really important (read her thread). We went from bathroom bills being politically radioactive in 2016 to 2024 due largely to manufactured moral panic to erode LGBTQ rights using trans people as a wedge. We know this because they said it out loud in 2018, yet very little Dem counter

Fantastic showing by the community in opposition to the development of 50 story high-rises with 60% UNAFFORDABLE housing on the edge of Bushwick Inlet Park. @savetheinlet.bsky.social Appreciate Lincoln Restler, Emily Gallagher, and Kristen Gonzales’ clear opposition to the project.

replace rfk jr with this guy

Lucille Lund and Boris Karloff in The Black Cat (1934).

(trying to subtly ask if a guy is straight) is he, you know... a friend of the pod?

this was a great moment in modern American history, it instantly stopped this man from becoming a more consequential figure

Anyway we need more movies like Drag Me to Hell but about the Health Insurance industry.

COW TOOLS

I mean yes, obviously, there's never a moral obligation to obey anyone under any circumstance.

It is publicly budgeted as being entirely donor funded. You can take it with however many grains of salt you want but no investigation has shown a tax revenue pay stream for the project yet. What is being spent by tax dollars in Newsome making AI images like in that tweet. (I do not support either)

For real how much taxpayer money is being used to refurbish the president’s mansion? More and more I respect the idea of 10 Downing Street.

Oh yes, oh yes. Let’s let this trend catch on.

Every year it’s worth sharing the @democracynow.org MLK day special…so I do! youtu.be/BCm31YLLDSo?...

Another hero!

ICE agents when a guy in a bathrobe standing out in -20 weather tells them to each shit

Greg Bovino is literally George Liquor.

Ok. I know we know it is evil and we have a difficult time ignoring it financially. But holy shit. This is low key inhumane. As someone who used to be a driver for a vespa garage. Singing in the van was one of the few things that made it worthwhile.

I see a lot of handwaving about the harms of generative AI, possibly because 1) (certain) people don't expect to be affected and/or 2) they argue that it's a non-issue if what depicted isn't "true".. Either way, there's an abundance of willful ignorance in tech that makes me legitimately sad

This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.
