A post and friendly reminder from last year.

No holiday is near, so no real whiplash for now.

Of course, the primaries are in June, so it's going to be a temporary break from the ads.

So, yeah... it's still political season, folks.

They will never replace VeggieTales

Me: “How were those? Do those work okay?”

Director, neutrally: “Yeah! I can use these.”

Me, already on the verge of tears: BUT ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THEM

Some animation exposure sheet timing notes meant for all timing sheet personnel at Columbia Tristar Animation around 1997. This timing guide contains all the technical jargon you see in storyboards, layouts, animatics, and even X-sheets. A must for all artists and animators!

“Hollywood is ignoring these faith based movies!”
Yeah because they’re bad

Like end of sentence, that’s why they get overlooked

quake 2 showed us colored lighting, it was a big deal, we'd never seen such a thing, now the only time I can tell graphics apart from last year's is when they make it worse with AI or need a $1,500 card to watch characters move in reflections we've been able to fake using a flipped mesh for 25 years

in case you think I'm making things up: this happens about once every 2 weeks

An underrated problem with bluesky is that how resist boomers who were recommended this site by Maddow and bots post are very very very similar

I kind of liked the idea of a manic Looney Tunes inspired Batgirl

Warner Bros. Insiders are saying that Paramount merger is frustrating as the company didn’t need to sell for financial reasons, citing strong box office performance and HBO Max’s return to profit.

Sun Child again, smirking at you evilly

It’s the beginning of an old and boringly similar story

The story is false

Sun Child, an evil color-swapped version of Moon Child. He is pink with a cyan suit instead of green with a red suit.

Fuck you, it’s Sun Child

You’ve got the power to be his foe

Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

Again, I’m genuinely scared that Crimson will become the next Steve Kidd if this continues on. I be very sad to see him self-destruct like this if the SGP crap goes on and on and on. Mental health matters the most.

Glad that both Ryan and Diaz got put on blast, but for everyone’s mental health, there has to be a moment where we NEED to spot talking about nonstop before our brains started to rot. This is nothing against Crimson or the people affected by them, just giving them advice that they need to relax.

Going back to Crimson Mayhem, I’m now deeply concerned of what happened at the watch party from what I read. I even have to agree with a few that the fight against Ryan (SGP) has been going for quite too long and mentally draining. If this continues on even into next year, it’ll be dry and ugly.

Going to hear this guy’s last name in Goofy’s voice forever and ever.
