Fault Taunting xkcd.com/3296/
4-panel comic. (1) [Giant fishing rod-like cat toy positioned above four tectonic plates. Two helicopters that appear tiny due to scale fly above. People next to device are so tiny they cannot be seen.] PERSON 1: The key to exposing new geologic layers is understanding the three forces driving plate movement: slab pull, ridge push, and taunting. (2) PERSON 2: Taunting? What do– PERSON 1: *Initiate thrust fault pattern!* [The dangly end of the toy wiggles.] (3) “Rumble” sound effect from tectonic plates. (4) “Lunge!” sound effect from tectonic plates. [Plates split at a diagonal angling toward toy.]

@charliejane.bsky.social I'm 40 pages into Lessons in Magic & Disaster and I'm having a great time. You've already done so much to animate the characters in that short span, and I can't wait to find out what they do next.

Absolutely brutal thread. "A.i." in education is a fucking plague and anyone who pushes it on professors and students is betraying education itself. An act of abuse and betrayal to push this fucking cheating, lying, bullshit machine on anyone, ESPECIALLY in an educational environment.

The "Piranha Madonna" shirt from Oingo Boingo's 1990 tours. I don't remember which concert I got it at but it may have been my first one at Great America. I lost my shoe in the pit and some nice person found it for me afterwards. I was 14.

Lately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:
