If the Trump administration is willing to betray Ukraine then they will betray Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and Europe too. That's not even bringing up him directly threatening two NATO countries. All "US aligned" countries must arm up immediately.

This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data. Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: no one is above the law.

When you start comparing yourself to others, ask yourself: "Would you ever compare your pet with others' pets wondering if it is better or worse?" Probably not, because you love it the way it is, including its imperfections! Now try to do the same with yourself. And love yourself! ❤️

newgrounds to their credit has banned all genAI stuff, and they have a good article up on how to hear (or otherwise detect) genAI music, worth reading!: www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... very fond of this extremely succinct and dry but lethal description of genAI music 🔥

You're not going to be able to draw everything perfectly in your comic, ur gonna have weird looking cars or buildings, or hands- And i want you to know that's fine Readers spend seconds per panel- as long as things are clear narratively, keep going! Dont get stuck on making every panel a masterpiece

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

I'd been finishing up the animation of Meg, when I was asked by the Tarzan directors to be Supervising Animator of "Jane". The film was already in production so I started later the other animators. Some of Tarzan was already rough animated, such as this one; this is one of my early Jane tests.
