It’s been fun seeing Caine’s fear of being alone if Pomni and the other circus members abstract being portrayed in a lighthearted way, something that kind of makes me wish they had done a bit more to emphasize it in the actual show.

Absolutely incredible.

90% of modern media criticism just sounds like this

So Pomni and Ragatha had their second child together the day after the finale premiered on YouTube. Cute to see her learning more about the world.

Are we all in agreement that Caine is the one and only exception when it comes to AI?

I personally think it's neat to have a repressed trans woman as an antagonist who is arguably only semi-redeemed in death!

Now that what most of us were already thinking is official, there’s a conversation to be had about how a lot of people try to fit what representation is and should look like into a neat little box. And that really shows with how outside of those bounds Jax’s character is.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS! 💖

Moments before disaster #TheAmazingDigitalCircus #TADC

Caine’s return and Abstragedy getting canonized were the two things I wanted to happen the finale the most…both happening and both handled perfectly. I fucking love this show so much!

My mom: (sees I’m wearing Caine shirt) When did you get that shirt? ME: Oh this I got it a while ago. It’s um…oh it’s from that show my friend and I watched a few weeks back The Amazing Digital Circus. My mom: I’ve heard about that show… ME:

The sheer scale of a trillion dollars can be hard to comprehend. Let me put it in perspective. You would have to earn a dollar a year for a trillion years straight to have that much money.

"She would make sure that all 535 packets of letters and drawings were delivered to every member of Congress. She would keep telling the stories of the children she’d met." Keep going, Ms. Rachel. (gift link) wapo.st/4ecHKP2

Finally giving into the peer pressure.

There’s a lot that can be said about this collab, but let’s just focus on the fact that the sound Caine makes when he stretches Pomni is also how I imagine he sounds when he fucks.

Beyond the box office numbers, what we loved more than anything is the millions of fans that showed up in person to watch the TADC finale together all over the world. Genuinely nicest and sweetest people. This is what it's all about. ❤️

I gave Mr. Shark estrogen in Tomodachi Life today. Unfortunately he didn’t like it.

they keep letting people go on record and say "don't worry everyone, we only replaced our concept artists with ai" as if the concept artists aren't the entire skeleton of the thing. you took the bones out, man. look at it flippin and floppin around. fuck off

Waiting to give my in-depth thoughts on here out of respect for the people who have to wait until it's out on YouTube, but yeah this pretty much sums it up.

Alright let’s do this!

AI Data centers are polluting Black and Brown neighborhoods, killing the environment, helping promote misinfo and graphic hate speech, deteriorating the entertainment industry AND destroying the economy, all simultaneously. We don’t need a White liberal solution, we need those centers gone. Period.

If there are any other black people at my showing of The Amazing Digital Circus finale tomorrow besides me, I'm walking up to them and introducing myself.

Isn’t it kind of fucked how Disney can shut down another film studio but still capitalize off of a franchise they made after they’re long gone?

You owe it to yourself to experience her magnum opus if you haven’t already Please read Persepolis and watch the animated film adaptation. You won’t regret it. Rest in peace.

Happy pride everyone. Today also marks one year since I came out as bi. For all the shit we get from across the aisle, accepting this part of myself has had an incredibly positive impact on my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

(This is why masculinity is always in crisis, because it's in a perennial state of needing to be 'proved' through ritualistic patriarchal violence against the abject and effeminised. What is 'manly' is often synonymous with what is reactionary.)

James did a few new things with this one meaning I needed a little bit of help editing this time around. Couldn’t have done it without my good friend Buster. Hope you all enjoy. (Also shout out to @spacetreestudios.bsky.social for doing to opening montages)

Everyone, I have a special favor to ask. GKIDS is releasing the Hong Kong animated feature Another World (which I’ve heard amazing things about!) next week, and they are giving it a PITIFUL release, even by their standards. Which is why I want something to be done.

you know the kid lit publishing controversy that actually exists and I'd like you all to get on? The lack of marketing & publicity support for books by marginalized authors that don't sell and then are used as proof to not acquire more books from those authors.

When you’ve edited as many 4+ hour videos as I have, everything else feels like light work.

Part of the efforts to combat genAI need to include destigmatizing the existence of "bad" art that doesn't fit arbitrary standards of not just perfection but quality. The alternative is just repackaged cringe culture that discourages people from experimenting with it as a form of expression.

When it comes to films that took my breath away this decade, Little Amélie or the Character of Rain is still one of the biggest ones that comes to mind. It's such a beautiful and gorgeous animated film about childhood and beauty in the world. If you haven't seen it, please do.

People need to get meaner to people who use genAi. Unless it’s a child or like, your elderly mother who genuinely doesn’t know any better, you need to make them feel embarrassed

Always disappointing when it comes from people that should know better.

They didn't die while serving in the military, but they died protecting our freedoms from those who would destroy them, nonetheless. Remembering these heroes on this Memorial Day.

This made me cackle

Things I’m committing to watching/finishing this summer: -Murder Drones -Beastars -Andor (James’ glazing finally convinced me) -Pluribus

Some of y'all are really incapable of acting like adults when it comes to disliking artists and the shows that they make.

Do not create for the approval of others. Your art is not required to feed everyone. Create for your heart. The world is full of people who will listen and enjoy what your muse has to say, no matter what the message or meaning is.

After watching the first live in concert for my birthday and the second last night with my friends, I think I might as well re-marathon the Toy Stories in preparation for the fifth one. Let me start out with the cold take (they only get hotter from here) that Pixar bloopers are awesome.

this is a masterpiece
