Had to use methods other than Google Images as well, because near as I can tell, that image went to Twitter and nowhere else. Reverse-searching only brings up Pinterest links because that Twitter link is *gone.*

I’m pretty sure this *is* yours, I remember this was one of a few sketches you did of other folks’ Sonic OCs around the time Frontiers dropped. Took me some googling around, because I knew I recognized it, but I managed to find the specific OC in question. bsky.app/profile/artb...

I think a good example of this is the Backrooms movie - a lot of the media focuses on director Kane Parsons (who also made the web series it’s based on) and how he was 20 Years Old™ when he made it, but veteran writer Will Soodik was the one who wrote that film’s actual story.

Oddly enough, because I never watched Gravity Falls, that’s the first I’m hearing of him writing on that show. I know him more as one of the co-creators of the short-lived series Mission Hill.

I’ve actually been kinda the one putting people *on* a list since the job sand boom (I use “job sand” to refer to “AI,” just so we’re clear on that), but bot-blocking aside, I still rarely use my Insta. (And when I do, it’s usually for sports)

2. Jorge *chose* to work with that tech. If we’re talking about breaking artists’ wills, we need to start with the ones who, because said corpos screwed them out of legal options, didn’t have that choice.

I don’t buy that that’s how corpos would break artists’ wills for a couple reasons: 1. Jorge Gutierrez is one person. One of a handful of prominent creatives who’ve bothered with job sand, yes, but that doesn’t mean everyone else is going to just step in line like lemmings.

“Like having sex and then they hand you the baby.” I’m ace, so this doesn’t apply to me, but if I had sex and someone just handed me a baby out of nowhere, I’d be like “yo wtf where’d you get that baby? I don’t want that baby, give ‘em to their actual parents!”

So that’s one of several little “connectors” they have for certain apps now, not just Blender. I certainly hope it doesn’t go further than that, but it’s somehow one of the *least* bad ones. Like, they have a connector for friggin’ TurboTax, and that’s honestly terrifying to me.

Looking into this, all Anthropic is really doing is giving the Blender folks money, and the Dev Fund already has most of the rest of Silicon Valley aboard. They sure could do a better job of clarifying that, though, because oof.

I think the *only* ones that aren’t are Cara and Artfol, both of which are explicitly artist-driven, but Cara’s much more meant to be a portfolio site and barely anybody’s used Artfol across its six (6) years of existence.

I mean, I’d certainly follow you if you got an account there, but I keep my interaction with IG (hell, most SMs including this one) to a minimum. It’s certainly one of the better ones for getting eyeballs, but I couldn’t tell you how *much* better, because I know dick about how the algorithm works.

I would like to thank Mr. O'Brien for his service, and also acknowledge the one instance I can think of where "six-seven" occurred in the wild, eons before it ever became a meme.
A screenshot of the 1981 music video for "Little Suzi's On The Up" by Ph.D., in which a bald male talent show judge with an eyepatch holds up two cards with the numbers 6 and 7 on them.

I actually watch the one (1) music video block the main MTV channel airs at 3 AM on Mondays - I probably single-handedly caused a three-month Nielsen spike for the network in that specific time-slot.

Tommy Droid @tommydroid.bsky.social · 02/01/2026
I mean, if I were in charge of a severely adrift cable network turning 45 in just under seven months, I’d probably want to do something drastic to drive up ratings too.

We say goodbye to actor, filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner. A dedicated storyteller with sincerity that imbued his prolific work and the causes he believed in, Reiner’s heartfelt portrayal of the human condition reminds us of the power of film and its abilities to stay with us.

I’m honestly surprised she wasn’t in there sooner, though I kinda fell off the comics past Metal Virus. Like, I kept *buying* the issues until the Riders arc (the shop I was getting them from closed down), but I haven’t *read* them.

I think it’s just because of the sheer *amount* of games listed there - if I didn’t know any better, I’d think “wow, this person doesn’t seem to like *any* video games.” Since I do know better, I know that BMB has way different tastes than everyone else and would rather find games that match them.

Couple it with the sudden wave of revivals Bubsy’s gotten over the past decade (two from a South Korean company reviving old publisher Accolade, this new one from a zombie ghost company holding the Atari name), and suddenly there’s a certain crowd taking notice.

Tommy Droid @tommydroid.bsky.social · 21/08/2025
Not by design, I can tell you that for free; I think most video game mascot characters just *become* that over time with the right amount of exposure. Bubsy definitely got that exposure from “angry reviewers” back in the day, which contributed to his weird meme post-life.

I sincerely don’t think the “purity police” are coming after this, they don’t usually show up for adult animation. I think it’s more an issue of “it’s just not funny” - and it’s not even a *unique* strand of “not funny” because we had a different cheap-ass R-rated talking dog movie two years ago.
