Bsky can handle 3-minute videos now, so I can upload my #AnimationReel natively!
I swear there was no one else when I came into the room and they were just watching this all by themselves.

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

But to be fair, there were four female ghost busters and a guy was bad at cuphead once.
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

When artists start independent studios, are able to get youtube pilots made by big name animation houses, or otherwise launch speculative ventures, I want to know more.

These are stories... So where are the journalists?

Embarrassing to see adults talk to robots in a public forum. That'd be like if your friend asked a mailbox for directions once. You'd roast him for decades for that shit. Every time the concept of navigating space came up you'd hit him with "Why don't you ask the mailbox?"

Still between animation jobs, but our cat just had to get surgery. Expensive surgery. I don't have much of a following here, but if anyone is able to help, I'd be eternally grateful. Eternal is a long time!

The Muppets should host a "Freaks and Geeks" reunion special. They owe them that much at this point.

Like, these guys who are so desperate to have their genetic legacy passed on always talk about it as their genes living on and never talk about wanting kids. It’s gross. If your priority in having kids is not because you want a little person to love, maybe there’s a reason you’re not having kids.

sorry everyone we at pencil company know you liked pencils, but we can't think of any new ideas for them, so we're discontinuing pencils tomorrow. also, you won't be able to access all your pencil drawings, please burn them, cool
Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale.

So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

a major reason why adobe is killing animate is almost surely because AI is seen as a major threat to art software on wall street, and execs at adobe probably saw animate as dead weight because they couldn't stick AI into a 25 year old codebase made for animated banner ads

I AM FURIOUS.

Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate.

And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

adobe killing animate and saying "just use after effects" is the most fundamental misunderstanding of your customers ever, lol
