Sharing the project I’ve been working on— a new animated short about wild hamsters in a cemetery! (No sound as the original file has temp music in it.) WIP with many more steps to go. Excited to finish it out before the end of the year! #indieanimation

NYCC! I’ll be at the TAG booth (1375) until around 1pm, then roaming until the Titmouse panel at 5:45pm.

A little late but Sylvan Esso’s new album has, as usual, some up tempo bangers and some soft somber songs. “Sledge” is the one I keep coming back to again and again.

It will slowly zoom in if you stop moving, but I wish there was an easier way to study the whiteboards (which often have unique stuff on them)! I think FPS in corridors (Control 1) vs open transversal melee brawler (Resonant) certainly explains the wider cam, but I do agree it could be closer

To my memory it doesn’t happen in Alan Wake 2 as much. Interesting stuff, I would love to hear the devs talk about it

Geoff Class ➡️ NYCC @gfclass.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Yeah also wondering if there’s some kind of memory saving feature that keeps objects locked unless otherwise interacted with? Also with Resonant, the camera is so far out due to combat design that it absolutely becomes necessary to avoid finicky player movement in small spaces.

I'll be looking for animators soon to help on something I'm directing. I'm open to giving a chance even to artists who haven't participated in Japanese productions before, so if you're interested (and have a VERY good portfolio!) send me a message or post a link to your work!

Yeah the first game almost makes it seem like the FBC was down to a *maybe* a few hundred people… before those people were trapped without reinforcement for 7 years. On the other hand they had access to endless dimensions of material to build with and the org managed to keep going without their HQ

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...

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

The contrasting styles of the two versions are so interesting to compare! I feel like film schools could use clips from the two pilots as examples for how lighting & production design can inform tone.

Wonder if there’s a lot of natural bias towards Manhattan and/or Williamsburg-type neighborhoods. People don’t usually think about living in Jamaica or Bensonhurst as “living in NYC”

Anybody who’s still advocating putting these tools anywhere near a school is not doing so despite the cognitive collapse they cause, but because of it. dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn...

Abstract
Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, we study how generative Al affects homework productivity and learning. The data combine monthly closed-book exams, high-school and college entrance exams, and homework scores and completion time across nine subjects. We exploit staggered Al adoption in a difference-in-differences design. Al adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months.
High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty emerging only after about two years. The losses are largest in social science subjects, followed by STEM and languages, and are especially large for junior students, high-achieving students, and boys. The learning losses are concentrated among roughly 80% of Al users whose behavior is consistent with homework outsourcing, as indicated by exceptionally short homework completion time coupled with high homework scores. Al users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-Al users experience small learning losses.

This is an absolute travesty. Northwestern has, probably, the 2nd best library collection for African History/Studies in the USA (behind Yale and ahead of MSU, UCLA, etc). A self-inflicted wound that is absolutely, 100% unnecessary given the massive wealth of Northwestern--north of $15 billion.

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.
