I'm so happy to join the cast of You and I Are Polar Opposites as Noa, this cute cheerleader with truly amazing purple hair. I love how much personality all the characters in this show have. Huge thanks to Dani Chambers for thinking of me, and our engineer Jameson for a great session!

We got @hollisbeck.com back on the show to voice the interstitial for this one and she absolutely knocked it out of the park. Go give it a listen to hear her incredible performance and also to hear us melt our brains contemplating the logistics of theatrical bike races.

One cool thing about simuldubs - sometimes you're cast as a bit character in a show, and then a season later they unexpectedly return. This happened twice in one week - my gal Cosauko along with the Jurassic High Baseball team in 100 Girlfriends, and this meanie in Trapped in a Dating Sim.

Word of mouth is basically the only way small team projects can gain any traction. People hate ads with a passion, and ignore creators when they pitch their own work. But people will give something a chance when a person they know says they like something

The good thing though is there are people still on X who won’t leave and their staying empowers musk and extends his reach. Oh I meant bad thing. Yeah that’s a bad thing. Sorry I was confused as the entire game industry stays there and attracts new users while normalizing this hate speech.

I am reading Dogsred and I think it's sick, but by far the funniest part of it is when Noda-sensei just completely lifts a character from Golden Kamuy and plops him into this story about ice hockey.

First panel: an older man sits on his heels on top of an ice rink's divider line. He has a wild haircut and facial hair akin to Tetsuzou Nihei from Golden Kamuy.

Second panel: a young skater stares at him awestruck. Thought bubble reads "That's Oino-Kami High's Coach! Toshimitsu Nihei!"

Four years ago, a coordinated right-wing smear campaign condemned Monticello for "going woke." Bridget Gillespie was working there at the time, and she gives this revelatory inside account of the harassment staff endured and ultimately how the institution buckled. Amazing piece.

yikes :(

Instagram post from Loryn Brantz. Text reads,

I am horrified and disgusted by BuzzFeed taking my character, The Good Advice Cupcake, and giving it to an Al platform. My time at BuzzFeed was marked by continually being taken advantage of and lied to. They repeatedly assured me in good faith that they would never do anything with Cuppy without my input, yet offered me no legal options, insisting that I would never need them. The news that this character, who is based on my own personality and whom I created as a microphone to spread love and positivity, has been taken and turned into a soulless Al puppet feels like having my intestines pulled out of my body.
Somebody leaked the news to me early on that there were talks happening, and I pleaded with the CEO Jonah Peretti directly not to do it. Instead, he tried to talk me into signing an NDA. Obviously, I did not.
This is an assault on artists everywhere.
I encourage you to boycott BuzzFeed and any Al-produced or adjacent animation.

ChatGPT was never Google’s biggest threat; it was always its own hubris. With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.
