I finished the page!!! Wooooo!!!!!

Happy 55th birthday to the legendary Craig McCracken. The creator of the Powerpuff Girls, Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, Wander Over Yonder and Kid Cosmic.

Getting closer to finishing page 1 of my comic! Wooooo!!! Backgrounds inked and flatted. Now just to do the art for the character and render everything and I'm good.

19 years ago today, ‘Meet The Robinsons’ released in theaters.

😑 for fucks sake Insert SpongeBob gif of "When you gonna learn your lesson old man?"

"Who are these characters??" FANTASTIC question, here's the breakdown: youtu.be/EKKQQbpSP34

The Powerpuff Girls cast (Tara Strong, Cathy Cavadini, and E. G. Daily) reunited with Tom Kane, the voice of Professor Utonium.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

YouTube has removed the “kids” classification from Episode 4 of ‘The Amazing Digital Circus’, restoring its monetization.

What’s this? A special sneak peek is dropping on the channel TOMORROW?! No way! 👀✨ 🎨: @gibbledygoo.bsky.social #TheElvesofAmaranth #TEA #indie #animation

‘Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir’ creator Thomas Astruc says he will investigate if the artists used AI for a puzzle in the newest episode: “If that’s the case, there’s going to be a lot of trouble.”

Good news! It's not as busy at work as my managers expected today. Bad news! That means I was denied one of my PTO days for nothing. Worse news! It actually wasn't for nothing because one of my coworkers called out today. Ugh! Can't win for losing.

Have to go to work tomorrow. Ugh. At least it's just the one day and then I get three more days off after. But I just know tomorrow is going to suck. It's going to be so busy!

Say April Fools right now.

6 years ago today, ‘Steven Universe Future’ ended on Cartoon Network.

IT'S AN ADULT ANIMATED SERIES!!!!!

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

Look, if this country ever gets through this, MAGA memorabilia needs to be treated like Nazi memorabilia. Trump's signature should be akin to scarlet letter. Having a MAGA hat in your house should be like having Klan robes or family photos taken at a lynching.

Progress on my chapter 1 cover page. Not sure if it still needs more damage or debris. Hoping to get feedback from my peers on discord.

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.

Harry Potter money directly harms trans people. JK Rowling openly uses her profits to fund anti-trans groups. These groups are so successful in stripping trans people's rights largely due to being so well funded. There is a direct line from money spent on Harry Potter to trans people being harmed.

Just got done with taxes! Thank fuck! I can only hope I filed them right since that stupid "big beautiful bill" mucked everything up. Why ask me for one number in that stupid box if you gave me TWO?!? How am I supposed to know what to put down?!?!?!

OpenAI news: 1. Sora is dead. May the memory of its four-month existence as a copyright infringement machine be a blessing. 2. Disney is pulling out of its billion-dollar investment in OpenAI entirely. Turns out when you try to serve AI slop on a product people pay for, no one wants it.

I would also like to get in on this particular ‘I told you so’!

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

OpenAI is shutting down Sora and dropping video features from ChatGPT. Disney was previously said to be investing $1B, licensing 200+ characters across Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars & more for use in ChatGPT and Sora.

I wish I hounded this one friend about this more. She was taking her kids to the HP Broadway show and I was like, you know she’s a transphobic garbage person right? And she was like, yeah I know, but my kids like Harry Potter stuff. I should’ve been like, your kids would not want to support a TERF

My favorite go-to is bringing up how she was in the Epstein files

We have to be more casually vocal about hating Harry Potter. I don't know if most people know what's going on Casually going "Ugh, you know jk Rowling is like, a crazy far right bigot now right? Yeah, she went off the deep end" has gotten a lot of people to look into this in my experience

Cannot believe “man who has never run a profitable company shovels mountains of cash into a bonfire“ isn’t a viable business model, what’s the world coming to

Breaking: Disney Exits OpenAI Deal After AI Giant Shutters Sora

The Sora implosion is the first big breakthrough moment with AI that gives Metaverse vibes, or at the very least Dot Com Bubble vibes.

I wish my apartment's building manager would bother to clean the laundry room after being told a bird got in again. The birds always shit all over the machines and they never actually check the room and clean it afterwards even though it should be a given to do so.

It's probably a good idea to listen to the people who were saying "abolish ICE" ten years ago and pay attention to what dangers they're pointing out now and maybe get on board with that stuff too

Spent the day working on my comic's website. Mostly testing how to upload comic pages, adding comics to the recommendations page, and editing the about page.

Just a few hours left until my PTO begins and then I've got five days off straight. I'll have to work Saturday but then I have another three days off. I'd have Saturday too if there wasn't a dumb concert going on that night making it a blackout day at work.

Got off on time today. Holy crap. This basically never happens anymore.

I found where the beer was leaking from at work (the coffee shop is next to a sports bar at a casino) so now they can fix it sooner. Thank God because the beer spill is in the way and smells disgusting.

Looking forward to working on lore pages when I get home today.

The Castoff Early Access Discord experience is seeing the most traumatizing shit in the new comic page, screaming about it with others, then yours truly popping in 30 minutes late with The Pedro Pascal Gif

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

New video is up!! ➡️ youtu.be/RGyvq1vXPUY I've been making the SAME DAMN WEBCOMIC for 11 YEARS, how the hell-- Anyway, let's do a Q&A about it!! #comic #webcomic #castoff

Looking forward to my time off. Gonna get so much work done on my comic.

Parker Goldsmith, a transgender assistant editor on ‘The Bad Guys 2’, is suing DreamWorks Animation and NBCUniversal over alleged anti-trans harassment. The lawsuit claims Goldsmith was sent transphobic memes, outed to coworkers, deadnamed, and asked invasive questions by a supervisor. ⬇️

I've been in a fog the last few days and don't really know what to do to get myself fully out of it or what to say on here but I want to be consistent in posting on social media. So here's a whole lotta nothing until my blues go away.

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

WIPs of some lore pages for my comic and more specifically some planet designs. Second image is the main aliens' homeworld: Zakiid I.
