The best case the mouse can make to get your attention is a trailer for a movie that looks like it was filmed for streaming, and the only inspired part of the whole thing is the logo treatment.

Like... lol come on.

"...we have to take into account biological factors such as muscle mass..."

MUSCLE MASS CHANGES WITH HORMONE THERAPY! Please learn something, anything, just the most basic things about trans people before weighing in on these "concerns" or you just end up looking like an easily duped fool at best.

Jesus christ. It angers me deeply how not a single damn person in power who wants to at least pretend like they give a shit shout trans people will read even one damn book about the history of sex segregation in sports, cause you’d see how it’s all just sexist bs. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Kamala Harris cites concerns about trans athletes in her book

The Trump campaign attacked Harris over her positions on transgender rights. She says they were misconstrued.

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE.

If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

Ingraham: A Democrat congressional candidate was thrown to the ground by an ICE agent. Good work

If you're an IDF soldier who has murdered Palestinian children you're allowed to enter Canada on vacation.

If you're a musician who opposes genocide you're banned

I respect the new time-saving portmanteau you've invented.

I'll never waste time with "or probably" ever again.

Good. Cancel your Disney+.

Fuck capitulating to fascists, and make the corpos bleed from their fucking wallets.

River_Tam @rivertam.bsky.social · Sep 18

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Art for Palestine! Procreate. Inspired by the Palestinian flag turned vertically. Shows the front of snoopy’s iconic red doghouse (text reads “snoopy”) and a blushing happy Woodstock with an olive branch in their beak. Behind them are the remainder of the flag colors.

Picked up my 8 year save and FINALLY beat Hollow Knight, just in time for Silksong.

Couldn't have timed that better!

Our own country actively undercuts, undermines, and dismisses our own creative voices, robs us of our ability to explore our own creative ambition, and leaves us entirely subservient to US clients who actively don't respect us as anything but "lesser than" outsourceable labour.

Fuck this.

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

My neighbor brought over some fresh fruit that he'd gotten from his family's farm in the BC interior. And they're all great.

But these grapes... These grapes taste like every grape-flavored thing I've had. In a way other grapes don't...

Is this what grapes are supposed to taste like? Wtf

Wanna say my first board revisionist job was like $550/week.

Now, me asking for a salary relatively appropriate for a senior level storyboard artist with 14 yrs experience gets me snubbed, and that's not even close to the US rates.

I hadn't heard of Qzilla, the production company behind Crunchyroll's Sekiro anime. The trailer okay, but something felt kind of off. Looked them up on MAL and they didn't seem to have much motion in terms of the thirteen things its produced. Checked the company website and lo and behold.

We are actively developing technology with the goal of maximizing the value created per second by all those involved in anime production. We challenge the conventional wisdom of existing methods, collaborate with partner companies with high technical capabilities, and utilize the latest technologies such as AI to evolve production processes and expressions, thereby bringing about digital disruption in the anime industry.
