In a functioning country Trump would be punished for spending our money on himself (a crime), and reimbursement would be TAKEN FROM HIM, not asked for.

Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

Today, almost 6 months after publication, I get an email from the copyright office saying they can't proceed with this copyright registration. Why? Because they detected that some of the text in the book was generated by AI. (Spoiler: zero percent of the book was generated by AI.)

We've reached the open use of anti trans slurs phase by Trump. Dems haven't done shit to call out Pete Hegseth and Nancy Mace doing it so now it's become normalized.

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

In 1980 the federal minimum wage was 3.10/hr. 7.75 comics at 40 cents apiece. Today the minimum wage is 7.75. 1.5 comics at 499 cents apiece. What are we doing here?

One of my all-time favorite animated characters, Gromit, born from practical and budget limitations. Because, of course. News to me! thank you for your latest article @ani-obsessive.bsky.social animationobsessive.substack.com/p/wallace-an...

Gromit turned into a dog really early on, since Park found dogs easier to model. And the character's dialogue was cut due to animation difficulties in the first week of the shoot. "That's when I realized I could do everything with the eyes. Gromit was suddenly born. He didn't need a mouth. He became a very introvert and very intelligent dog," Park remembered.

@fadeinpro.com, is there a way to force a character callout to NOT have the "cont'd" modifier after a Shot call out? I've got the same character speaking twice in a row, but the shots are unrelated and the dialog isn't a continuation.

@magicwhistle.bsky.social's original roughs for the appetizer's attack.

Three rough storyboard panels (graphite on yellow post-it)

1) Wide downshot of restaurant patrons running, screaming, on fire, while SpongeBob stands on his head.

2) Mr. Krabs bounces out of the kitchen door, hogtied.
KRABS: Run for your lives, everyone! It's the appetizer!

3) The Appetizer (a roaring conglomeration of food, refuse and human body parts) SMASHES through the wall into the main room of the restaurant.
APPETIZER: RAAAARRGH!

More of my roughs from this section. (Beavis voice: FIRE! FIRE!)

Three rough storyboard panels (graphite on yellow post-it):
1) Thought SpongeBob, file cabinet to his back, screams "I got nothing on a name!"
2) Another TBob hammers at a computer keyboard.
TBOB: Come on, baby. What's the name?
3) The computer bursts into flames and TBob shields his face from the metaphorical thought heat of the metaphorical thought flames.

My roughs for this. We lost Baby Thought SpongeBob along the way.

PANELS 1 & 2: Screaming SpongeBobs run through while papers fly.
PANEL 3: Same, but with Baby Thought SpongeBob cries, unnoticed.

My writing partner and I tried for a long time. The executives were like "Magnus who...?" And then there was the Classic Media company problem. They claimed to own a lot of stuff that they didn't quite exactly reeeeally have title to... Dell properties among them. Turok skated out.

Democrats caved and/or facilitated this monopolization of practically every major media property in the US into the hands of a MAGA fascist psychopath. If the US had an opposition party, each of its presidential contenders would would vow to dissolve this monopoly by any means necessary.

I drew this for a friend a few years back.

Red pencil and ink drawing of smiling Squidward showing his 5-star restaurant to gaping Squilliam and his fish hangers-on, while Patrick bounces in hogtied and Mr. Krabs runs in chased by The Appetizer.
SQUILLIAM: Homina homina homina homina homina homina...
SPONGE: Table for Homina?
