i want games made by people who get to keep their jobs

I don't want to play realistic-looking games. I want to play stylized games with unique art direction!

hahaha. lovely read

What's Opera, Doc? looks fantastic. Chuck Jones credited that to his artist Maurice Noble. Noble experimented with this cartoon and took big risks. "You will never do anything interesting if you don’t take chances," he argued. We explore what he did: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/why-whats-...

what's wild is that i'm pretty sure if you're a CA elected, you could just decide on your own to get behind some worker-oriented film industry shit or even (wild idea!) propose your own without licking every-ass inch of this specific boot, and yet here we are

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 2d ago

I am in strong agreement with the President. Congress should immediately take up and pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back these good-paying jobs that we've lost to other countries.

Men only want three things

the most difficult question in American politics is “who was president in 2020” the second most difficult question, apparently, is “who is president right now”

One of these two candidates if elected will vote to give the Egyptian junta 3 billion dollars of free weapons every single year and the other one is the Egyptian-American.

while I was already planning on boycotting this game, this is important information for people who are still on the fence, and now upgrades this game to the category of 'I will explode you if you try to make me care about it, don't ever talk to me about this thing'

Best thing I saw this week was a video of three river otters on the coast encountering a sea otter that came outta the water to protect some food. The river otters are like "what is this mutant titan?" and the sea otter is like "oh shit i forgot i gambol like a furry anvil on land gotta retreat" 1/2

I'm not using AI. The thing that melts the planet and kills off jobs to appease capitalist greed. I came by a paid subscription to Claude for a month early on. Saw how crappy LLMs are at things I know how to do (code & art) and decided never again. I'm broke and still won't take an ai job

jess m. ☕🍂@jametc.bsky.social · 3d ago

Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

Blondes should be “Turmerics”. Brunettes should be “Orris”. Black hair should be “Lotus”.

Dawg, they're roasting you in the comments. Yeah man, with onions and carrots and an apple in the mouth, man. They're laddling the dripping juices back over you, man. They're basting you in the comments. Fuck man, there's even a fennel bulb for subtle and complex aroma.

behavior like this is genuinely disturbing. like this will obviously just be changed back day 1 after trumps regime is over but its just deeply sad, not even demoralizing, just pathetic

Google Maps has now capitulated to Donald Trump and changed the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. Apple Maps still uses the correct name.

REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still: •Has his job •Gets paid, and •Gets free world-class healthcare The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave—gets all three as he needs it most.😐

sorry boss i can't get any work done today. i experienced the beauty of nature and felt connected to the world so i currently do not have any tolerance for meaningless abstracted bullshit

here's the thing: there are other artists with the brightness, talent, and generosity of spirit that made dolly parton and tim curry so dear to us. we just don't have the tools to find and elevate them. fund the arts! patron the arts!

I suspect a lot of you outside of the state of Ohio (and possibly some of you inside of the state of Ohio) are not aware of the current billion dollar bid Black Rock is making to buy up our electric utilities  Yes, -that- Black Rock I feel like this should be much, much bigger news 🚨

Data center investors want to buy Ohio’s public utilities

Consumer advocates warn a $10 billion deal that would give BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, control over AES Ohio could create conflicts of interest that end up raising electricity rates ...
