Nothin else for it

Two panel comic of a person with glasses looking down at an open book. First panel reads: I think I might be bad at this.

In the second panel they are scribbling in the book with a pencil. Text reads: I’m gonna do it anyway

"Alive, to me, is when a character emotes. When a character is thinking. When a character is going through emotional changes, when they’re struggling, they’re happy, they’re angry."

You've seen Aaron Blaise's animation—he was a big deal on Disney's Mulan, Beauty and the Beast and more.

Behind his work is a whole creative philosophy. Blaise broke it down for us, and explained why his new film is the most rewarding he's ever done:

I honestly think the below graphic is the 3rd worst way to engage with Indie Animation (the 1st being harassment. The 2nd being AI).

Aggregating view-counts subconsciously paints a better-to-worst picture in people's minds. We over-rely on YouTube as a platform and I think that needs to change.

Full disclosure, I'm a dude who's stuff can barely crack 10k and I'm all for celebrating other people's success. I've recommended KoG to nearly everyone I've talked to in the passed couple of days.

That being said, are we REALLY going to gamify the indie space with stuff like this? 1/2

ACLU @aclu.org · 3d

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

I think its great, HEALTHY even, to channel stressors from the real-world into tangible, vibrant entertainment. Suffering makes for lousy art but boiling depression and overwhelming anger being funneled into something this zany, fun and cathartic?

Im fuckin here for it. Two seasons, please! 🔥

the admin joining bluesky is another great reminder:

do not take pictures at protests and post them on social media,

do not show faces in photos at protests, and

learn how to obscure metadata

Happy 2-year anniversary of Sunset Phoenix!

Valentine and Emilia from Sunset Phoenix. Emilia has her right hand around Valentine's waist, and Valentine's left is on the back of Emilia's neck. In Emilia's other hand is a sword, the tip up against Valentine's sternum. Valentine is casting a magic spell, summoning bright blue flames that frame the pair. A series of black Baldes hang above Emilia's back.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Mondoweiss @mondoweiss.net · 6d

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.
