I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

I will also be using this project as a springboard for an independent animation studio called Fantasy Project. We are very small now but hopefully with your support we can grow to create more wonderful things.

It's #blackhistorymonth . Are you supporting BLACK #indieanimation and black independent media as a whole ? There's so many black indie creators making our work because studio systems tell us there's no audience. Check out this thread for a plethora of BLACK INDIE projects .

don't forget they were trying to sell you NFTs on latenight talk shows, they were asking you to join the Metaverse without any legs, they were claiming you could raise your family up out of poverty on gambling apps.

now it's 'writing' 200 books a year - the same shitshake with a new flimsy straw.

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults. And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Remember when people kept bitching about Adobe shutting down Animate and then they hastily backed on that statement after an overwhelming negative backlash?

Yea, we need to do that again but for Discord now.

Discord is going to demand every account use facial recognition or give them our real ID in March.

Let's write them right now and explain how much "no."

Another #StarTrekLowerDecks screencap redraw from one of my favorite LD season finales 🥹
#StarTrek #BeckettMariner #BradBoimler #lowerdecks
A screencap redraw of Star Trek: Lower Decks S1 finale. The USS Cerritos is on red alert. Ensign Mariner and Ensign Boimler are looking at each other over their shoulder. Boimler looks distressed and melancholic and Mariner is smiling coyly. They are standing in a red lit corridor, covering each other's back. This scene is right after the duo had been fighting Pakleds that invaded the ship, alongside other Cerritos crew and Boimler just confessed to Mariner that he'd miss her if she left, prompting Mariner to tell him to shut up and that he had given away enough embarrassing secrets that day.

I'm going to be giving an online workshop on what I think is the most underrated topic in film: Eye-Trace!

I've found it so helpful in both my personal and professional work and I can't wait to share what I've learnt!

My favorite moment from tech-week on Cinderella's Castle. Assistant Stage Manager Juliet tapes a spike mark so Bryce and our sniper-perfect spotlight operator Salem can bring the glass slipper to life at the ball!

Working on this show was a wonderful dream, and I hope you enjoy the pro-shot!
Theater stage lit up in purple and gold. Bryce Charles playing Cinderella in a glowing green dress holds out the foot with her glass slipper into the light of a very small, focused spotlight. Assistant Stage Manager Juliet kneels before her, all in black, black headset, long dark hair, black N95 mask, measures a small amount of spike tape to place on the stage. Behind them Narrator Jeff Blim stands in his own spotlight, looking upstage Closer view of Assistant Stage Manager Juliet Park laying spike tape on the stage in front of Bryce's glass slipper. Bryce's sequined dress glows green with LED light, and picks up reflected blue from other lights on stage.
