the irony of having a one-on-one HR layoff meeting in the conference room with my Loki mural on it
Here’s just ONE of the artists Marvel Studios let go today:
Wesley Burt, a brilliant veteran, one of the best in the industry. He made the viral Fantastic Four Valentine’s day card!
He was also pivotal for the look of many films and shows like for example Loki, Black Panther, Avengers and so on!

The voodoo resurrection of Rapp Scallion the pirate cook in Monkey Island 2 is an animation that's still impressive 35 years later, and I'm still not sure how it was done. #LucasArts
Field Comic Panel 1 A determined Field has slammed their hands on the desk and is determined to do the things that need to be done. Field: OKAY! I just have one small task to do. Panel 2 A stressed Field is staring blankly at a blank screen. Narration Box: -Stares at nothing for two hours instead-
One small task
For decades, birthday party clowns folded balloons and played games. John Wayne Gacy is taking a different approach.
The Greatest Video Game Dialogue Ever Written ™️
I love this game all the more for it, especially with the MD/Gen version and its scrunched up speech samples.
one time i took my keyboard apart for cleaning, got pissed cuz i realized i didn't take a photo of how it looked before so i could easily reassemble it, and then promptly, without having the keys in sight, typed in a search for a qwerty keyboard photo. such is the mind

A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book has been republished. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.
Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

When somebody asks why R2 didn't recognize Yoda or use his rockets on Dagobah, a mean thing to say is the rebel technicians weren't actually able to fix him after the Death Star battle and replaced the droid without Luke ever noticing.

Someone in the post-splashdown press conference asked a question about the astronauts doing a simulated EVA/escape soon after landing, and I think that obstacle course is what they were referring to. But the panel seemed confused what the question was asking about.

Both Artemis II YouTube streams are finished!
But they're not available to replay yet. Hopefully it'll just take a bit of processing time before they're playable...
I’ve never put more effort into anything in my life.
Tabby stands on hind legs with one paw outstretched toward a TV displaying a capsule above water.
NASA failed to predict the real splashdown risk.
"the crew is in excellent shape"
in fact, one of them is... STRONGER than EVER. and another... seems to be INCREDIBLY FLEXIBLE... and another...
Don't worry, I'll pretend you said the second one.
Thanks, it was very useful! :)
So, the astronauts returned to earth exactly on time. As someone who's always early, here's why that's rude:
🛰️ Our European Service Module has successfully separated from Orion's crew module!
🚀 After propelling the spacecraft over 1 million km in deep space, it will now burn up in Earth's atmosphere, as the astronauts continue their journey home 🌍
I like how wikipedia uses the infobox for cars here
The story of the Bugs Bunny comic book.
My dad bought us comics after going to the doctor and getting a shot. This was one that dad bought me.
Years later, at the beginning of CN, there was a dinner with older animators.
It’s funny that he signed this off model goofy comic book.
In the press conference last night, Amit Kshatriya gave a blunt reply to someone who asked how many miles offshore it'll splash down: "Too many for anyone to wanna go and hang out."
Cypher's line in The Matrix: "The image translators work *FOR* the construct program. But there’s way too much information to decode the Matrix."
He puts the emphasis on "for", as if he's talking about the order of the chain of command, instead of explaining the limitations of the visualisers.
Cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written and I think it’s important to credit our sources.
The Artemis re-entry map explained!
To understand this fully, I needed a visual. So here is the
@nasaartemis.bsky.social Orion OEM dataset playing in one of my realtime space scenes. The result - a fun way to visualize how this ground tracked map works! #Artemis #ArtemisII #Space #threeJS
