Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

Instagram used to be annoying because of the narcissism. Now it's annoying because it reduces the past to bite-size clips and regurgitates them for likes. It's like an attention-hungry dog endlessly eating another dog's puke and puking it up again while being bafflingly praised by halfwit onlookers.

Zohran Mamdani won NYC Mayor while unapologetically: -Calling Israel's siege on Palestinians a genocide -Upholding ICC's warrant to arrest Netanyahu -Upholding BDS as a legitimate form of free speech -Demanding Palestinian self-determination -Securing a plurality of Jewish voters This is the future

Still need more baseball? We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

good times in Manchester with @michaeljdolan.bsky.social

All my respect for The Line, gone.

who's getting the best head at the British Museum

can't leave the house without my Bean blacks

I'm in England and having a very good time

Actors used to have proper names.

The Art of Angel’s Egg reprint (released this month to coincide with the 4k restoration) is a great way to revisit a long out of print book. For fans of Mamoru Oshii and Yoshitaka Amano it’s worth picking up though like the name suggests it’s really just artwork, very little text.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWCl... hey if you like Sublo and Tangy Mustard you'll probably like Kevin Doan (voice of Tangy Mustard) and me being interviewed on Picnic in the Park! we talk about Sublo, a little about Bojack, the state of the animation industry, Dragon Ball, Kenny vs Spenny and more.

I hope it's ok to post about this now: I recently joined the board of directors at TAIS (Toronto Animated Images Society)! TAIS is a major hub for the indie animation scene in Toronto, providing resources, support and community to a lot of local artists. I'm excited to be part of it!

I keep seeing blatant whole-hog ripoffs of Shin-chan and Yuasa. clearly I love that stuff too but at a certain point it's like "ok yes we all know this internationally beloved series and world-renowned auteur. you got anything else?"

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

I'm visiting the UK soon, please advise me on what to see! definitely staying in Cheltenham and visiting Bristol, staying in London as well as probably up to Yorkshire for a bit. any cool shops, museums, exhibits, cafes, pubs, parks, whatever you got!

The cool thing about indie animation is that you can make whatever you want however you want without being bound by the restrictions of a studio/network/etc. But then everyone just wants to show you how close they can get to making something that looks like the stuff on TV.

Fester Fish for drawn for @aaronlong.bsky.social

High Park this morning

aiming to get several pounds of animation done today

Mascot work for a 24-hour sandwich shop is a 24/7 calling for Sublo and Tangy Mustard! @aaronlong.bsky.social crafts snappy dialog & superb acting into a painful sitcom about two friends whose costumes & job are their whole lives.

@aaronlong.bsky.social Peak spotted

Ottawa International Animation Festival was amazing! got to see so many friends and cool cartoons! I was also on a TAC panel where we discussed cross-platform branding opportunities for global IP development or something. I mostly just mumbled about Sublo and Tangy Mustard.

I feel more like Rowlf the Dog’s piano the way I get played

ok I'm gonna put out that second SubparGeekGirl96 short, it's been sitting on the Patreon for a long time. I just gotta fix 1 frame I forgot to colour. check back in like an hour or two

oh yeah I'll be at Ottawa International Animation Festival and TAC this week, I'm on a panel about "going indie" hahahaha

Someone explain how this is a cancelable offense but a Fox News host saying we should murder homeless people as policy is not?

I'm seriously hyped for Death to Pachuco (1940s historical noir comic about the Zoot Suit Riots) from @henrybarajas.bsky.social and @ohhhaeee.bsky.social look at this awesome shit, might be wise to preorder RIGHT NOW so you don't feel left out when it drops bindings.app/read/2Ff3kNs7

I've worked on so many productions that demand "realistic character acting" but if you got all these showrunners together in a room, none of them could agree on what that is.

DuDu

Look what i got! This little volume by @aaronlong.bsky.social must be the first actual book that goes in-depth into making your own one person indie animated series! And i even got a little doodle which i didn‘t expect 😄 Go and buy his zines and thanks a lot Aaron! #animation #indieanimation

finally a celebrity I know at RAW

seeing Americans online smugly going "heheh you think your country is less fucked up than ours?" and I'm sorry, nowhere is perfect, but yes many countries are significantly less fucked up than the US at this particular moment

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results: 1) Does UBI work? (yes) 2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

oh it's bandcamp friday, you should check out my recent music if you haven't yet. some of it is not bad aaron-long.bandcamp.com

meanwhile on discord

Cool mail from the mighty @aaronlong.bsky.social !

making more zines. as long as you people keep buying them I'll keep printing them. no Sublo fan shall go hungry. aaronlong.bigcartel.com

I am completely unwilling to embark on the Discourse involved in people with a table full of Pokémon fan-art merch for sale and a sign that says AI violates copyright. I shall let the Discourse pass through me and only I shall remain.

thinking on the nelvana thing, i can imagine it's like. nelvana international survives and continues to manage licenses and franchises but no new work is being made which is kind of identical to what happened to cartoon network studios vs cartoon network. so. cool. the winds of change i suppose

Sublo and Tangy Mustard is celebrating its 10 year anniversary and I’m so shocked because that show came out started one year before I graduated high school

wtf is sublo and(?) tangy mustard

Today's the 10th anniversary of Sublo and Tangy Mustard! To celebrate, I'm finally selling my behind-the-scenes zines online. Production Notes is the main one, the other two are just little extras for super-nerds like me. Anyway aaronlong.bigcartel.com is where you can find them!

The most subpar 10 years of all time Happy tenth anniversary Sublo and Tangy Mustard Thank you @aaronlong.bsky.social for making this masterpiece #SubloandTangymustard
