IF THEY'RE NOT SAFE AND EFFECTIVE WHY ARE THEY RECOMMENDING PEOPLE AT HIGH RISK GET THEM. This is both incoherent and dangerous.
so if I understand correctly, when the government repeatedly breaks the law, your best hope is that it eventually works its way up to the SCOTUS and they either agree with the lower court that said the government broke the law or they tell the government themselves the same info. If you're lucky.
I have never seen this Drew Struzan poster before!
I love this kind of dancing. Looks totally effortless. But soooo much work goes into making it look easy. Well done these guys.
ah cool, thanks!
sorry, I was saying 2 things at the same time. I was asking if you were using copic markers for your drawing/painting.
the Grace Jones shirt is on point. Copic markers?
I agree with the message, don't love the use of AI to convey it. There are photos of actual agricultural workers one could use instead.
oh how magnanimous to do your f**king job. May this and every other cabinet member step on a rake every day from now until 2029.
I'm still reading the newsletter, but I'm super intrigued by this. One thing that stood out so far is the director has apparently been working on this film for 11 years.
you did one good thing, RFK, Jr, now renounce all of your heinous acts and opinions and throw yourself in a volcano
Robbing Peter to put Paul in an expensive and inhumane concentration camp. Doesn't exactly roll of the tongue.
I've not really done commissions to speak of. Most of my work SFW, but I've been doing some more pin-up kinda work.
Some Sorayama energy here
happiness achieved
this guy's goin "ayyyyyyyyyy, take er easy, mannnnn"
What. Trump's zombie hit-man lawyer LIED about something. To LAWMAKERS. Now I've seen and heard everything. Maybe Emil "Definitely not an 80s Russian mobster/serial killer" Bove should lose his law license and go to jail.
Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki didn't start as the artists they became. Surviving the brutal world of TV anime in the '70s changed them and their style. They made classics like Heidi and Anne of Green Gables and found their own paths, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-pressu...
absolutely stunning. I've not seen either of these and now I really want to. Also curious about Go! Panda! Go! Great read, Takahata is definitely my preferred Ghibli director, I find his films more relatable for all that I wouldn't necessarily reach for "realism" interesting that he thought that way
rough portraits of Mandy Muse and Lily Kawaiii (don't know her actual last name, just her handle). Think I might try more of the painterly approach to Mandy, like how it's shaping up with Lily.
how none of these interactions end with someone getting shot is insane to me.
if food isn't getting to Gazans it's because of the US and Israel in particular being psychotic and not letting it through, not because other countries aren't sending it. Journalists that are able to restrain themselves from lunging at this scumbag every time they have to be in the same room...how?
and if some of those airdrops happen to be bombs, well, you can't make an omelet without killing 10s of thousands of civilians. I think that's the saying. Also worth noting that the airdrops wouldn't be necessary if Israel and the US weren't being complete psychopaths about humanitarian relief.
a Moon Bear! I've never heard what they sound like, but I love them! I hope we can get to the point where we look back at the time when bile farms were a thing and wonder how we could be the same species.
I was definitely expecting "...voting for the same con-man more than once and expecting different results."
what no Death Star?
peek-a-boob
ado?
the message is very clear here, unless you're a very particular type of American, the US doesn't like you, they don't want you here, and any legal status you previously held, up to and including citizenship, is void. If you worked for the US in Afganistan, if you've got the wrong ideas, good luck.
I'll believe it when I see it.
🧡Phebe's having fun! 😳 Colored commission for @PapiXenArt
nothing more transparent than the GOP and the current administration. Also, you can't see what we see, plebs. Get back in line.
I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣 Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡
hey if a compulsive liar who was so bad about lying that he prompted the scumbags in the GOP to remove him from Congress says he didn't do something reprehensible, I guess I'll just take his word for it.
Emergency commission open Please retweet I had planned to make a post to help me raise money to move but I've been set back once again. My laptop had a motherboard failure and It is my only source of income. My commissions will be discounted for the rest of the year. Link below
I assume Cuomo had to have his suit jacket surgically removed before making this ad.
I approve of the use of this photo on so many stories about Musk. He's a nazi, don't let anyone tell you different. Also, if you're still on Twitter and you don't have a professional reason to be...one should think about one's life choices.
this is deeply disturbing. I commend your efforts.
I think this film is probably the most abstract anime I would consider watching once. It's gorgeous and haunting and weird but a little too slow for me. Still, glad I watched it.
also, FFS, bluesky, let people edit their posts. This is basic f*cking functionality here.
ah, I think one of my friends had told me that and I had forgotten. Thanks for the gentle reminder
I haven't seen this one yet, I've read her 3 books and one of her short comics, they're quite good. I should check this out.
Sometimes, in order to Make America Great Again, you have get rid of democracy, the law, deport citizens and extort countries with tariffs to reward autocrats. It's not a very catchy proverb, granted.
what would it take to have him removed from his position? Is there a Congressional procedure or it's at the POTUS's discretion?
Make Americans Hate America.
well, if the administration is saying they did something to combat fraud, I'm sure it must be true. They have such a good track record of finding fraud and not lying about everything. And if there's one thing the current regime cares about, it's the health and welfare of its citizens.
I loved the newsletter on this, I'm really interested in seeing this film now!
Being a Democrat/Liberal/Leftist is obviously frustrating because of the party whose in control of all 3 branches of government but it manages to be even more frustrating when they simultaneously desperately want/need to win elections and also desperately want to lose elections
oh no, what will we do without selfish wealthy New Yorkers.
my brain decided this was Led Zeppelin vs. Pterodactyls. I don't think the band would've gone along with it either.
and to be clear, I mean the government of Israel, not the people of Israel. They're not the same thing.
I see Israel as behaving as though they owe nothing to anyone and no one can tell them what they can and can't do. But everyone is obliged to help Israel and they get to tell the whole world what we're supposed to be doing. I don't want dead Israelis or dead Iranians. Israel seems fine with both
so if Europeans call moose elk, and they call elks red deer, do they call deer moose?
No one is above the law says political party full of people who are demonstrably above the law including King Manbaby. Maybe there should be a department responsible for some of the same things that ICE is doing but as it currently stands, throw this fascist recruitment tool in the dumpster

I'm really happy I discovered Animation Obsessive. They have some great articles and videos. I'd like to watch quite a bit more Soyuzmultfilm's films.
don't let Pam Bondi or Trump know about this.
I wouldn't describe that as expressionless. That's the expression of a man who is standing at the window outside of your house and is holding a bag and an axe.
or you could unilaterally support Ukraine and stop being a useless stooge for Russia. But yeah, doing nothing and blaming other people for your incompetence is also an option.
It's a little more complicated than that. A lot of the money that John got from the English in taxes was to fund Richard's stupid Crusade and then to pay his ransom when he was imprisoned in Italy. Richard wasn't as good as he's made out to be, nor John as bad. Eleanor of Aquitaine on the other hand
if you'd like a cure for personal accountability, remorse, guilt, Alex Jones can sell you some overpriced snake oil, I mean supplements for that.
My chest hurts 😂
anyways please watch this edit that sent me into hysterics and now I need to redo my makeup

Didn't Bibi do something very similar with Hamas for several years to weaken the PLO?
A French film swept Japan in the '50s — and its impact on Japanese animation was immense. Among its fans were Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata and their co-workers at Toei Doga. We explore how they saw it, why they loved it and what they learned: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-french...
frukt up!
Sweet Manchild of Mine
I became a patron. Sorry that you are going through a rough time.
thanks for the info and links!
Watched the short Soviet animated film "There Will Come Soft Rains" after reading about it in a recent Animation Obsessive newsletter. It's stylish, bleak and disturbing - a nightmarish depiction of a post-apocalyptic future. You can find the film on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWU2...
very effective. Very creepy.
does cartoon movie have a bluesky page? The trailers I've seen so far are promising.
Trump's going to be very angry when he finds out he accidentally keeps putting anti-Semites in the federal government.
Winsor McCay?
I'm glad the village had been evacuated but still terrible for those people.

I guess if the other grifts aren't working for you, you just go full on lunatic.
reposted, happy birthday!
It's my birthday! 🌿 As per tradition you can share my work to offer me ✨visibility✨ :) I wish you all a nice day!!
yes, our wives did let us leave the house with these ties. Next question. Yes, we are still married.
I would say that this is some plan to make everything more dangerous so they can justify being even more police state-y but I don't think this administration has the perspective for that. This just seems like more horrible decisions that hurt people for no reason. No law, no order, just garbage
reminds me some of Gerald Brom and RK Post's MtG cards. Lovely
I'm fairly certain those are both in non-fiction
Cats apparently read right-to-left.
how a library or bookstore organizes their collections is based on whether or not the people who work their believe that the things contained in their collection are true? What does originality have to do with the "realness" of a religion?
nope, I understand the cartoon.
I understand the point that the cartoon is making but the reason for putting the bible or any religious text in non-fiction has nothing to do with belief. How would you catelog the bible? Or the Koran? Or the I Ching? Who's the author? Would you put it under the title, like an insane person?
paleontologist discovers freaky freaks from Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky!
a lot of people are fond of making analogues in the business world to government. Which is sometimes apt, other times less so. Here's a comparison, if I had fewer no-call no-shows than DOGE has committed apparent flagrant crimes I would be on the business end of a pink slip. Law and order, amirite?
When Republicans spout off some nonsense about freedom point to sh#* like this. They don't care who like public education, they hate it and want it to not be a thing. It's not enough that their own kids are siloed, everyone has to suffer for the sake of conservative values.
this is good but until we replace the conservative justices in SCOTUS, this is a fight that's just going keep happening because Roberts doesn't think disenfranchising voters is that big of a deal, certainly not enough for him to do anything about.
Playing with some new brushes, came up with this lad. I don’t draw enough rich folks.
she's advising on how to fleece and/or kill new people FROM JAIL? And people are giving her and her partner money? Are rich people this stupid and/or evil that they think she's learned anything from all this and this won't be another massive fraud?
weasel or squirrel (I know that wasn't one of the animals, but thought I'd throw it out there)
that sure sounds illegal. Make America Germany Again.
