This has the glorious chaotic energy of the early Morph animations and I love it.

Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

Ya know sometimes I think Putin told him to do this solely to deplete US munitions.

Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · yesterday

CNN is reporting munitions shortages influenced Trump’s decision to cancel the large-scale attack on Iran. Nothing to do with impending talks. It seems Trump has left the US in no position to fight a war.

Saw a comment on a YouTube video about the dire state of the AI driven economy that made me laugh- “Turns out our profits were the debts we made along the way.”

Maguire’s Spider-Man 3 by far my fave of the Raimi trilogy. Just for the agent of change and the effects of it.

Watching McGuire Spider-Man and Raimi likes them boob shots doesn’t he? MJ soaking wet twice, other random extras in tight sweaters just pop up randomly.
