Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Vic Viper and Leo Stenbuck rough animation. Call this one a small goal of mine to attempt to animate the Vic Viper for the first time. I animated this on my I-pad using the Rough Animator App. #vicviper #zoneoftheenders #zoneoftheendersthe2ndrunner #animation #sketch #servancastillo #servankenyu

Also, Makoto Yukimura said trans rights.
![Yukimura: I did have written characters in [Vinland Saga] from a marginalized ethnic group [and] who are LGBTQ featured here. I actually wanted to portray a character with a disability in the story, too. However, because of the setting, I really couldn’t find the right place to incorporate such a character into the story. One thing I really don’t understand, though, is why do people attack such folks? Is it because they’re different? Why do they just focus on bad things about these groups and generalize them? I truly don’t understand why people do such things. I plainly feel sad when it comes to the way people treat each other.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vy6xpujujv3lmlrwuhplzq2q/bafkreibohxgefettpv6w7ezs73cj3krv4fctje4tr6om3xlqffvipc6lnu@jpeg)

In a library at the end of the world, a historian meets War herself, and together they reflect on myth, memory, and what remains of humanity.

This is very much me starting to get on my old man soap box, but I hate when games sacrifice good animation and follow-through on the altar of throwing off your parry timing.
I also think they're usually leaning into a demographic that only makes up a fraction of the player base.

The salt water air weathers your metal shell. You wish you were breathing it in rather than a stale, filtered version of it. Wish you could see the sky in all its brilliant nuance rather than through pared down eyes made for killing.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

I love when I can see the work in a piece of art. Practical effects in film, brush strokes on canvas, strange sounds in music, "impossible" visuals in games. It puts me in conversation with the artist. That's why - ethics aside - art created with AI is just so disappointing. There's no work to see.

Since there are lots of new people on Bluesky, here's a reintroduction :
Low Orbit Tourist, since 2016 I'm looking for cool satellite imagery on Google Earth, both natural and human altered/made. All of them are available in 4K/HD
Here is a few example, thanks in advance for the reposts !

A French film swept Japan in the '50s — and its impact on Japanese animation was immense.
Among its fans were Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata and their co-workers at Toei Doga. We explore how they saw it, why they loved it and what they learned:

There’s a great interview with Nick Park about Wallace And Gromit in last month’s Empire, and this bit in particular stood out. It sums up what artists have been trying to say about AI. The mistakes and the learning aren’t things to be bypassed, but a vital part of the process 🤟
