we had four years where we didn’t have to wake up and immediately check the news to see what new nightmare the president has threatened to inflict on the world every morning and 77 million people voted that we should have to do that again and I will never get over it

Hayao Miyazaki films start in his sketches—his "image boards." It’s a habit he’s kept up for 60 years. He works fast and loose, mainly in pencil and watercolor. Perfection isn't the goal. But you can trace his growth through the pictures. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-image-...

"28 years later: the bone temple" really confirms all my childhood suspicions about teletubbies

Listening to my cat gently snore solves all my problems. I am cured

look i'm not a big "judge people by the media they consume" person but if you watch the new wizard bigot show that gives money to Rowling, I will think less of you and trust you less.

this is the fourth time a company has said they'd either send openai billions or get openai to send them billions that's never actually come through - AMD's 6GW of data centers, SK Hynix/Samsung's 900k of DRAM wafers, NVIDIA's $100bn, and Broadcom's 10GW - none of them are real!

Sora is down. I stay making animations with my human hands and brain. Check mate tech bros ✨🫶🏼✨

Sora, the ai video generation software that couldn't make videos that were longer than a few seconds because the ai aspect would be too obvious, failed? Huh. Weird

OpenAI is shutting down its AI video platform Sora after it flopped Disney is now exiting their $1B deal with OpenAI

art is "undemocratic" because only rich people can afford to commit to it full time. if you want to enable the working class to find success in art, you want social welfare, subsidized rents, free healthcare, and UBI. which you could pay for multiple times over with the money being wasted on "AI"

Gave my cat a little taste of DQ blizzard (yolo) and now he won't shut up about it

Without downloading any new pics what's it like dating you?

You know an animation project is long when you have to redo a "finished" shot because the rest of the shots have strayed from initial ink tests 🙃

Hamline University in St. Paul is one of many colleges that found itself immersed in a surrounding neighborhood impacted by ICE arrests and raids. Now, months after the height of the operation’s surge, one professor says returning to normal is not an option.

lmao he says "they're completely wrong" but then explains its a generative ai overlay, which is what everyone said

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.

Never related to a meme harder than I do with this one right now

Whenever people ask me if I'm a gifted artist.

The mental gymnastics required to be a conservative on full display here

Am I surprised that a man who was able to thrive at a company where women weren't allowed in the same room as the boss, because he'd grope them, appears to have no ethical backbone? Not even a little.

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

“When I think about navigating the start of the year here, especially in our hometown in Minneapolis, the thing that we have kept front and center every single day is the safety of our team.” – Target CEO Michael Fiddelke

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

The return to some semblance of normalcy in my neighborhood has been heralded by my neighbor blasting music in their car at 6 am and waking me from a deep sleep. I can't even be mad. But i am tired

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

There’s an increase of activity at the Whipple building today. 50-60+ vehicles have been reported to exist the Whipple building. We need community to be on alert and for neighbors to observe and patrol. Thank you for everyone that continues to support our immigrant neighbors. Jason Chavez 1/

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

From my colleagues' office window to your screen ✨💖✨

So basically after the federal government invades and terrorizes Minnesota, including killing 2 Americans, they are now withholding OUR own tax money from our most vulnerable citizens.

It is twin peaks day 🌲🦉☕️ this also happens to be my first post on bluesky. David Lynch forever

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

Happy 'entering the town of Twin Peaks' day to those that celebrate 🥳

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

This week Demuth and the House GOP blocked bills to: - Keep ICE out of schools - Require BCA to investigate federal agent shootings - Provide emergency rental assistance They don’t even want to acknowledge the harm Metro Surge has caused Minnesotans.
