If you think something is funny because it’s being pointed out in a self aware way, imagine how much more the joke works if it’s just taken as a given. Imagine how many times you can hit that button. It doesn’t stop being funny or interesting, because that’s just a part of the world.

For the love of Kirby please do not listen to anyone who says you should be doing two finished pages of comic book art a day. It is a recipe for burnout, misery, and eventually, the destruction of your career. Industry standard is one a day, five a week. Period. Got it?

Knights of Guinevere episode 2 is out at last! Hope you're all enjoying 'Wolves Around The Corner'. I'll post some of my environments soon; in the meantime, I couldn't resist drawing the princess to celebrate. 🔵💙🔵

Black and white drawing- Princess Guinevere walks in the woods away from a tower. She looks a little lost! On either side of her path, wolves watch her progress with interest.

Theres a part of the Sebulba quest in galactic racer where he's like "in retrospect those guys were some of my best friends" and your character responds "did you spend much time off the track?" and he's like "no it was mostly me just using a flamethrower on them"

Late, but @justinling.ca did an absolutely outstanding job of delineating how Mark Carney's process of changing the world actually works. Top marks. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Justin Ling: Who does Mark Carney really listen to? I asked the insiders

It’s become clear that the prime minister would much rather circumvent problems than fix them.

Yeah, but it doesn't stand still either. Seeing movements overtly talk about cauterizing empathy or introspection from their minds is unsettling to say the least.

Read that book maybe 15 years ago and it has such a clear way of describing how patriarchy harms men and limits who we can be.

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.

It's worth pointing out that the men who have been so poisoned by bigoted ideology that they can't empathize with or relate to women have been harmed.

Failbetter reached out to me in the wake of the Bungie layoff in 2024 and asked if I would like to write a story. That offer became my murine husband, The Prince of All Rats. It was exciting, and very fun to write. It was also incredibly uplifting as I dealt with post-layoff stress and self-doubt.

Alt text is not the same as a photo caption. Captions are typically written to support a photo, and usually depend on users being able to see the photo. But alt text is meant to be the stand-in for the photo. The alt text is what a screen reader user gets in place of the photo.

User-generated content is valuable. So, because of AI companies hogging bandwidth and server time genuine humans will have a harder time accessing the internet. The ongoing enshitification sucks.

Work IT just sent out an email saying “Stop clicking on web ads and pop ups” with info about fake download/error buttons, etc. I (not-IT) want to just tell them “You either deploy adblockers or you deploy malware” but will probably have to find a gentler way to do so.
