Last month, a Google alert directed me to an interview I did with cartoonist Matt Furie—creator of Pepe the Frog…only I haven’t done any interview and I’d never even met Furie. So I clicked. "None of this is true": AI, content farms, and one completely made-up article. bsky.app/profile/then...

I managed to mostly not know any of this until today. This detail is new to me. The horror coursing through my body feels like poison. My God, men. Decide RIGHT FUCKING NOW what you'll do if a woman is sexually harassed or assaulted in your vicinity. Ask another man to do the same. TALK ABOUT IT.

Watched Resident Evil today with kiddo and partner, and now we're watching Weapons. I enjoyed both movies! I can understand how someone might not, though.

There is an option in the atproto environment (which Bluesky is also part of): Leaflet. And based on how that environment works, you'll be the owner of all your data as well (and you can use the same account that you already use for Bluesky) Just figured it might be worth a mention 😊

What you need to understand is nothing we built was “off the shelf.” Store-bought environmental assets for stop-motion features do not exist. We were given concept art and told “make it look like this.” Everything you see here, down to the dirt and moss, was meticulously designed and crafted.
