I can finally post videos so...

Hi, I'm Cressa and I do stop motion. You may have seen my preshows at your local movie theatre.

Here's a cute thing I made for the release of Godzilla Minus One:

I didn't know your name before today, but I've been a fan of your work. 52 Realms and Waypoints are amazing (as are these fish!)

And as the funeral ends, flash back to the moment when the plane contacted your car...and pulled up and away with you clinging to the nose gear, your escape to your new identity complete.

I've written for past books from the Ghost Show and they're always terrific. Nothing from me in this one, so join me in backing the project as a fan of movies and good writing about them!

Chatbots and AI slop are going to ruin countless brains. Yours doesn't have to be one of them. Study history. Read poetry. Get acquainted with Bach, Shakespeare, George Eliot. In a time when people are rapidly getting dumber, we need communities devoted to the life of the mind.

He isn’t kidding when he calls this the greatest comic ever made. Right in the overlap of My Favorite Comics and My Kid’s Favorite Comics.

Paul Tobin @paultobin.bsky.social · 14d

Reminding you that the single greatest comic ever made (according to 100% of my moms) has a fifth collection out, and securing a copy for yourself and your loved ones assures you a +1 to your "whimsy."

Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Thunderbirds started 60 years ago today! @gerryanderson.bsky.social

A British show that fired my imagination as a child (but 20 years later). A childhood that stays with me thanks to the Thunderbird 2 replica in my office. 😌

You should read a small, self-published game today, and I'll tell you why.

Absolutely nobody asked for this but I reformatted my animal yeetability thread into printable poster & zine files.

Introducing, the "Pocket Guide to Responsible & Sustainable Animal YEETING" featuring a revamped rating system. Download links below.

Poster showing various animals and their yeetability rating. For full rating, see the link in the reply. Intro text reads:

POCKET GUIDE TO RESPONSIBLE & SUSTAINABLE ANIMAL YEETING
by franzanth

In this context, YEETING is defined as the act of throwing a “projectile” at a slightly upward angle with low initial velocity. The goal here is relocation, not destruction. Therefore, YEETING is ideally performed toward soft surfaces like leaves to minimize downward acceleration that might result in said projectile's discomfort.

Look, I know he's running all over the place and causing chaos, but could we at least do him the respect of using his full name, William Nilliam?

We just drove by an accident where every air bag went off including on the sides and the back and side of the car were basically obliterated and it looks like everyone walked away

Seatbelts and airbags, incredible technology.

Regulation works.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.
