In 1957, a stray dog from the streets of Moscow became the first living creature to go into orbit. Sadly, her mission was a one-way trip, as there was no way to bring her home at the time. This is her story re-imagined.

i feel so bad for artists who now have to deal with accusations that their work is ai

Its so demeaning to the life of work they put into their art, and it must suck to have to argue that your work is in fact your own.

If you can draw, that's really cool, I think you are great.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

you can win without billionaires supporting you

you can win without party leadership endorsing you

you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch

we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to
Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

we needed all of this. it’s why i rail on doomers and tell them doing that shit is literal voter suppression. defeatism begets defeatism. momentum fucking matters to keep people engaged.

68 years ago today, the real Laika took her first and last trip to the stars. May she rest in peace.

Today also marks the 2 year anniversary of this project's launch, and so much has happened since then that it's hard to even process.

Made this Halloween-themed stream overlay yesterday. It's a little unpolished, but I'm happy with it for now 🎃🕷🌕

The turnout for #NoKings in Wilkes-Barre was even bigger than I imagined, easily 4 or 5 times bigger than the last protest I went to here.

Cheers to everyone who stood against fascism today

First Brian Wilson, then Ozzy, now this. RIP.

2025 is taking away too many load-bearing names in my music library man 😭

Check out @projectstardog.bsky.social 's account for more info on this AWESOME #animation, in which I proudly play the main character (Laika): #ProjectStarDog 's "Empty Pages." It'll be in development for quite a while yet, but I'm so excited about it. The script, art, & music are all grade-A! 😊🐶🚀🌌✨️
Got a new poster ready! I'm proud of how this turned out, and if the real film gets made someday, I hope this gets to go along with it

When we live through difficult times it can be easy to succumb to despair, to see nothing but darkness on the horizon. But one day, in happier times, songs will be sung of those who persevered. Strive to be sung about as one who brought hope, as one who carried light over that horizon.

So this won't be for another few scenes from now, but this flashback scene is going to be something ELSE when it's ready

We should be clear-eyed about the challenge we face. They're not winning. They're losing harder every day. The danger is how much damage they can do while they fail. This is not a nation descending into Nazidom, this is a half-staffed executive branch descending into its own little Aryan Jonestown
all this Nazi posting on main is because they have a massive morale problem and they only have one reference for state propaganda

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Rewatched Balto for the first time in a while last night, and the Heritage of the Wolf scene made me weep like few things in this world ever have. Absolute 10/10 sequence, wouldn't change a single pencil stroke of it.

I aspire to capture even 10% of this energy in my work

Now that every scene from the anniversary reel has been updated and fine tuned, it'll be all new material from here on out. It's taken me a long time to get to this point, but soon you'll finally start to get new scenes as they come.

Stay tuned!

The people who say we talk too much about slavery are the same ones who insist that we need public monuments and statues of men who are famous solely for waging a war of treason in defense of slavery.

Statues that were created explicitly to deny any sense of "hope and progress" after the Civil War.
White House official Lindsey Halligan: "While slavery is obviously a horrible aspect of our nation's history, you can't really talk about slavery honestly unless you also talk about hope and progress ... we need to stop focusing so much on the lack of progress."

"If generative AI could REALLY make the next GTA in 6 months with 10 staff, or write the next bestseller, or produce 10 blockbusters a day? They wouldn't be trying to sell it to YOU. They would keep it for themselves and guard it from you ferociously."
