This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The House of Representatives is considering a bill that would limit the Trump administration's ability to exploit state and local police to carry out mass deportations.

Tell Congress to vote yes on this bill and protect our communities.
End ICE's Dangerous 287(g) Program
ICE's 287(g) program turns local police into a weapon for ICE, meaning more racial profiling, more fear in our communities, and more people in immigrant detention. Tell Congress to end it now.

Uncritical Glitch Productions worship and uncritical Disney worship are two sides of the same coin but y'all aren't ready for that conversation
Twice already I've seen someone's reaction to an animated indie pilot being "OMG YOU SHOULD SHOW THIS TO GLITCH" and this and other stuff is making me suspect that people are seeing them as like the *savior* of animation. They're cool, but like please don't forget about the other studios too 😬

Almost getting emotional over the end of the MetroCard 🥲

Marketing is so interesting. If the Omny cards used the same branding I wouldn’t be feeling the same grief rn

32%!!! ;_; 💖 Aaaa thank you everyone. This is going to help so much already.
Me and @momodriller.bsky.social's sweet baby boy has lost limb function very suddenly and is getting worse daily. He needs an MRI and (likely) surgery. It's expensive. We've already spent over $1k and can't afford much more, & he's running out of time. Anything helps, thank you. gofund.me/ba3da64f4

If you know me, you know Tagalong. He is the sweetest cat I have ever owned, and I'm alw… Rose Cote needs your support for Help Tagalong: MRI and Surgery Fund

“bsky is boring!”

1) good
2) social media should not be a cornerstone of your everyday entertainment
3) I find new artists to follow every day and look at pretty art endlessly on here when I feel like it
4) get a tactile hobby where you create something with your hands
5) read book
6) walk outside

Animators will spend a lifetime learning all the tools and methods to do the perfect, most elegant inbetweening, only to just settle on squash and stretching all of your key frames to compensate (I’m animators)

I like to draw myself as a dog even though im more interested in getting a cat rn (is this a deep meaning of my self image??? i honestly don't think so, i have OTHER ways of talking about myself and its not intentionally this one)

Nintendo absolutely refusing to do the popular thing all game companies is always gonna be both a curse and a blessing.
2025 Nintendo being the most hated game company because they charged $80 for Mario Kart

2026 Nintendo being the only remaining game company that doesn't use genAI

Nobody saw me for MONTHS after my Dog passed last year….

I couldn’t FATHOM being (seen dry-eyed at that) in front of ANYONE mere months after losing my spouse 🥱😒

This is not strength… This is someone who knew the plan & had time to prepare 🤷🏽‍♀️

Make all these people as miserable as they're making the world.

Kudos to the protesters and the restaurant for not backing down.
They must not be given a moment of peace. Ever. Shame them. Shun them. Call out their evil deeds.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Hi, we don’t use genAI in any phase of production ESPECIALLY CONCEPTING because doing so would defeat the purpose and role of concepting. Ok bye!
