Arguments like this are the exact same energy as people who refuse to tip because "They shouldn't NEED tips! They should be paid a living wage!" Cool. You've identified the root cause of a problem and done less than nothing to fix it. How very fucking noble of you, you special little child.
Ahem

Last day of #invertefest so let’s end with one of my most popular pieces of art! linktr.ee/squishyfauna #invertebrates #bugsky #bugs #entomology #insects #herps #frogs #snakes #sciart #bsnm
I’m glad that even as an American CGI asset, Godzilla can have distinct personalities Gareth Edwards’s Godzilla is a neutral being, here to bring balance, destroys only by error Michael Dougherty’s is a rock star superhero Adam Wingard’s is an asshole what identifies as a motherfucking problem
Whatever graphic designer at MYTHBUSTERS decided to put *this* out into the world….congrats for making weapons grade nightmare fuel.
Wiser people than I have already said it, but it bears repeating: MAGA is a cult of personality, and Vance doesn't have one.
Our feature artist/tutorial today is this beautiful pencil test by the talented @rudolpheguenoden! Note how WEIGHT is shifted in ANTICIPATION, and then THROWN to make that spin, and how the movements are aninated as a constant FLOW through the ENTIRE FIGURE! Perfection.
PSA: Rebecca Sugar's new album is also on vinyl (they're also offering a zine):
Hey everyone. I've been unemployed since June and have really had to penny-pinch more recently, so I'm opening commissions again. I've been specializing in $15 character sheets and $30 pet portraits but I can also do custom work for flexible prices. ko-fi.com/kermitwazowski

It's not even the first time I've heard this claim, and I always felt the answer was pretty simple: lots of people take Tylenol while pregnant for very obvious reasons, so of course lots of parents of autistic kids would be included in that number. But of course, that's just TOO simple.
I’ve said it many times, Thee Obscure’s one of the best video-makers around, super glad they’re back!
Okay, so, list of things to avoid for good cardiovascular health: - Excess sodium - Overuse of stimulants - Tobacco And now... - Bigotry Seems simple enough to me!
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
and i can't stress it enough 🌈 #art #furry
They have disabled the comments on this post, so: It wasn't "Trans issues". It was a tweet telling people to violently and physically assault a trans person if they came across one in a bathroom. That is incitement to violence, not "trans issues"...
lions at the zoo:
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

I love Easter eggs that reference old attractions
And yes, I know we're not exactly gung-ho about Adobe either (who themselves are pushing in AI where no users asked for it), but do make the effort to compartmentalize those issues and actually understand what file format abbreviations stand for.
I understand the hate behind ai, I'm not shy about it myself neither. That said, a ".ai" file is not ai, that's adobe illustrator: a vector-based art program. Please pass it on for people. I've seen multiple witch-hunts start up, which causes grief and embarrassment for both accuser and accused.
you should want to keep learning things throughout your life if for no other reason than it gives you more material for jokes
Holy shit. I’ve heard absolutely horrible things about Hank Ketcham but never dove into it. That said I do remember the strip where he drew a black kid as a racist sambo character during the mid 70s so… this tracks This thread is absolutely worth a read b/c this dude was a fucking TURBO GHOUL.
I don’t think Kamala Harris would have pushed for the U.S. to literally annex Gaza and build a resort town on the rubble

The Last Unicorn movie was a foundational animation for me growing up. It's so nice to learn that the author of something you loved as a child is a decent person.
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

No joke, I got five **PHONE TEXTS** from “Indeed” yesterday that were structured wxactly like this. But yeh, emails too. The scam is everywhere, from every end and its gross
Who's the worst cartoon character? I vote Henry, the dad from Dennis the Menace. He's a mask deliberately invented to whitewash the identity of his creator, Hank Ketcham, one of the worst men to ever make comics. It's gonna take a thread.
Hank, Alice, and Dennis were a real family, but as close as the comic, or promotional photos implied. Alice suffered from alcoholism, Dennis from learning disabilities. Rather than help in any way, Hank called them a drunk Irishwoman and a menace and ignored them to make his comics.
One day he created a new comic, about what a menace his son was. The comic was a huge success, and Hank now had a fictional family to love. Eventually, Hank sent his son off to boarding school, and separated from his wife, abandoning them both to revel in the success of their cartoon counterparts.
When Alice drank herself to death, Hank didn't even tell Dennis that his mother was dead. He moved to Switzerland, and remarried. Dennis grew up alone. Served in Vietnam and came back struggling with PTSD, poverty, and trauma only to see his own face in papers, tv shows, toys, and merchandise.
Hank had mansions on multiple continents. When reporters asked him about the real Dennis, he just said "I only hear from him when he needs money" as though the estrangement was Dennis' fault, or the money had not been made in his name.
This is obviously massive sellout stuff from Davis but it's also hilarious that Warner Bros. is so desperate that they're just casting people from the movies and still won't return Tom Felton's calls. variety.com/2025/tv/glob...
The fun part of training datasets for health is that you’re not actually dealing with what is inside the individual person, you’re rather dealing with the collective datasets for the action you’re trying to do
AI can’t actually look for stuff, it can recognize patterns but only if those patterns are present. Which is why sometimes, it works and most of the time, it does not
The biggest problem with the modern Disney hate is that it has become the core of the cartoon community. If not, an essential part of it. If they’re held accountable for their behavior and stop, it would be the end of the whole community as we know it.
2D animation is booming in theaters. In China, the film Nobody is outgrossing many of Hollywood's recent CG films—on a $10< million budget. It's only one example. As 2D films rise, Hollywood's decision to kill them off looks shortsighted. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-hand-d...
The Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Open Network Test has officially ended! Thank you everyone for participating! And in case you missed it... A single-player demo will be released in mid-September! We hope you keep coming back for more races! ✨ Pre-order: racecrossworlds.com
Drop an old person you're going to turn into in the future.
Y'know, "tactics" might be giving it more purposeful motivation than there is. It just seems to be a case where folks who are feeling depressed about the state of things have far less patience for their forms of leisure and are coming in w/ an expectation of failure to avoid disappointment.
Sonic Rumble (though I guess technically Fall Guys has a Sonic costume).
Also, enjoy the guitar honk:
The end of the last online race before that was turned off around 11:30 PM Eastern. Single Player: I got clean sweep 1st in Grand Prix at the Sonic Speed difficulty (the highest the demo lets you play anyway). Time Trials, A except for Rainbow Garden (B mere milliseconds away from A).
End status for Sonic Racing Crossworlds:
The tactics seen during the Switch 2 launch are spreading to other mediums.
Dear GOD I have missed dril.
YES. Vance is, in every conceivable way, the David Miscavige to Trump's L. Ron Hubbard. The analogy is so absolutely 100% perfect I can't believe I never saw it before.
Vance is so bland he makes Al Gore look like Al Green.

Cling to their bibles? If only. They never comprehended their bibles. They cling to marketing: Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben and the Barrel Cracker etc. Their praxis is waiting in line for Chik Fil A. Their heritage is green bean casserole made with Campbell's cream of whatever soup. Embarrassing.
This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
Get well, Mr. Mayor. Whoever did this is dethpicable.
Does anyone know whose decision it was to suddenly remove Microsoft Word from my laptop without asking and force me to pay a monthly subscription just to get it back and view my own fucking Word documents on my own fucking laptop like a normal person...
...AND make me jump through seemingly endless hoops just to download and reinstall said fucking program? Follow-up question: does anyone know where that person lives? I just want to talk. With a knife.
Oh, and now I can only save ONE Word document as a PDF per month unless I pay even more? Fanfuckingtastic, the rich are gonna taste like shit.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Taylor Swift announced her engagement on Tuesday. And that was the last we heard from Donald Trump.

Stop Using “Liberals” To Mean Bland Normie Cishets challenge I’m trans, and a liberal. There are a lot of trans liberals. Trans people can be any ideology. You can just say “cis people.” That’s not that hard.
Very telling that I never saw the latest “Bluesky is dying because it’s not nice enough to important people” post because while the guy is a Very Special Big Boy Verified Account he is also labeled with like nine different transphobia labels and pre-blocked by transphobe blocklists
Happy Labor Day 🙂

1) Yeah, that's not how it happened. 2) Noem can bite me.
Refuse to be called woke by someone who talks like a Harry Potter side character having a stroke. “Noshing on a poncy porous plimsoll?” Go to a hospital.
#TailgateTogether is a Mutual Aid Group with a primary focus of feeding and clothing the houseless community in New Orleans on a bi-weekly basis. We also assist with Hurricane relief and feeding underprivileged schoolchildren. All of our work has been vetted, verified, and documented.
Genocide. We all need to keep collectively calling it exactly what it is. Especially us cis folks. When they’re done gunning for the most vulnerable groups they’ll just go after the next most vulnerable and won’t stop because they never stop. Thats what hatred is. It’s Genocide, plain and simple.
Destroying poor people’s last earthly possessions and cleansing them from public life is fascist, full stop. I can promise you that whatever meager shelter is offered will be temporary and inadequate. This type of enforcement kills, six people die on LA’s streets every day.
Okay, show of hands if this would be your favorite Final Fantasy.
This kinda sucked though if I’m being totally honest
Hey apple users— they snaked in usage of your ENTIRE photo gallery to be used by a*i Go to settings > apps > photos to disable this bullshit. It’s the bottom one- enhanced visual search.
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
I can
Do the people clutching their pearls saying "this is dumber than fascism" realize how it makes them look to act like Trump is besmirching the idea of fascism? That, oh no, it isn't clever to round up minorities in concentration camps?
I know some might just be trying to say Trump and his ilk are uniquely stupid but they're really not. There's no brilliant, scientific but cruel mind behind it all. It's morons all the way down.
TIL, the theatrical & home video releases of Bugs Bunny’s 1001 Rabbit Tales omits a segment which featured the Sam & Ralph short, A Sheep in the Deep. It was only possible to view this segment on TV airings, but fortunately the scene can be found on Internet Archive. archive.org/details/1001...
A big realization of just how fucked up the United States is happens when you come across a parody ad for JC Penny that aired on MADtv about back to school savings on clothes to protect from school shootings that aired back in 1998.
I love how autocorrect sees me type “leave” and fills it in so it fully reads “leave trans people alone.”
I know it's significantly larger than just this, but part of me sees Trump stepping on a LEGO and deciding to take it way too personally.

This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
Normal people: "Yay! Labor Day! We all get Monday off!" Service workers: "Ok troops we're almost there. We trained all summer for this, if we can get past this weekend without murdering a guest then we can just coast for the next few months. Remember to smile and stabbing people is a last resort.
Here’s the thing: I don’t think Newsom will win the nomination. He is soulless and does not have any actual beliefs and no amount of centrist pivots will get him through enough of the primaries. But it is important to keep insulting him because he might see it and it might make him feel bad.
What I enjoy about this is you don’t get too many of these that feature two insane people
