LOOK the contacts in IWTV absolutely make sense from a production standpoint—I'm sure its prohibitively expensive to do vfx for the vampire eyes throughout the entire series—but sometimes I just GOTTA do a quick repaint to see the proper eyelines on my sweet baby bug-eyed boy

The worst kind of managers are the ones who blame their team, or lack of process, for everything. Extra credit worst for the ones who do both.

I just love the Open Sea exhibit in the Monterey Aquarium. Simply magical and without parallel.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. If some lady handed me a free sword I'd still take it though.

This is a great profile on the late Michiyo Yasuda. One of the most influential color designers in animation history. She led the incredible color design for My Neighbor Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies SIMULTANEOUSLY!

She was Hayao Miyazaki's "right-hand" collaborator from the '70s onward. Her name was Michiyo Yasuda -- the best color designer in animation. Yasuda's eye for color gave Ghibli's work a totally different look. We explore her methods: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-artist...

So, for some reason, we're still talking about a movie no one likes and will tank at the box office to the tune of three quarters of a *billion* dollars in less than two weeks for having 15min of minorities in it? Cool. Here's my review of it. filmfreakcentral.net/2026/07/the-...

Here are two shapes. If you had to assign the name "bouba" to one and "kiki" to the other, which name would you give to which? In this Lingthusiasm zine, @gretchenmcculloch.com gets enthusiastic about these two linguistically famous shapes Print it yourself here: lingthusiasm.com/post/8223518...

THE ODYSSEY's instantly, predictably enormous success is Exhibit #32176 that the right wing's grievance-farming operation is not some great American cultural shift. Most people don't give a shit about their petty crusades.

The opening chapter to #Nostos #Unflattening 2 is a 22 page, 15 foot long continuous sequence that is a retelling of the Odyssey. It’s been done since 2019 and I’ve been pushing to have it released as a standalone since to no avail, & really hoping before this movie, but here we are. A sneak peek…

So finally I have some free time in the e evenings so I figured I’ll start watching The Bear since ppl I know raves about it. I jumped in cold and I’m two episodes in and I’m so stressed out.

Wacom doing planned obsolescence with a "Thank you for your support" on their staggeringly overpriced products wasn't on my bingo card but I am UNSURPRISED. If you too are in this position, allow me to draw your attention to what's probably your best solution: opentabletdriver.net
