CHARACTER REEL, GETCHYA FRESH NEW CHARACTER REEL OVAH HERE
If you're looking for a voice for your project, I got what you need! Giddy Goblins, Cold Cowboys, Raging Rogues, I can do it all. If that sounds good, send me a message or email and we can hash out the deets
This reminds me of how some fiber farmers will have a single alpaca mixed in with their sheep because the sheepies think it's a weird megasheep here to protect them and feel calmer
Listen. I'm a veteran of Tumblr. I know this seems scary but all we have to do is devalue this platform into the fucking ground. It is SHOCKINGLY easy.
Every employment lawyer on the planet watching Elon disclose an employee's disability, claim he's faking it, and state it was part of why he was fired.
Only 3 names will remain sealed out of the 150 names of associates connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell set to be released in the new year.
13 people fought to keep their names sealed however were unsuccessful.
Adore the scene before this where Bill helps a client in a sneaky but otherwise entirely legal way. Like even when he isn't allowed to be a super he's still dedicated to helping people, no matter the cost. It's such a great character moment for him.
I appreciate the horror trope of "fucked up deer." If you want to convey that shits fucked in a woodsy environment you gotta show a really fucked up deer. Works every time. If I left my house and there was a really fucked up deer outside why I'd turn around and go back to bed.
I am saying this as a huge spiderverse fan:
Delay this fucking movie. Don't you dare crunch your animators. Don't you turn this work of art into something that hurt people. I can wait. We can all wait. Delay this shit.
One animator says there is no way โBEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSEโ releases in March 2024.
โThe only progress thatโs been made on the third one is any exploration or tests that were done before the movie was split into two parts.โ

Wait what the fuck did I just laugh at a Rick and Morty joke. And it actually had like some sort of setup and payoff and used a creative punchline to subvert expectations? This doesn't feel right.
I actually kind of love this joke because, as many people have pointed out, da rules prevents you from directly wishing harm on anyone, but the actual historical assassination of Ferdinand was such a weird series of coincidences that I fully believe she found a loophole
What's so tiresome about all this is that on top of the real moral issues (putting artists out of work, training the algorithm on existing art), it just looks like absolute dogshit. Like this ain't the next stage of animation. It's fuckin rotoscoping but worse
Family guy animation fascinates me because 90 percent of it is this really flat "characters stand stock still and talk" quality but then every once in a blue moon they break out the hardest shit you've ever seen
"In the beginning, the live action disney remakes were spaced from their movies by twenty-four years. Then twelve, then six. The last one was four years. Soon, we could be seeing remakes every eight hours, until they are coming every four minutes."
THE FUCK YOU MEAN "WE MUST ACT NOW." THAT'S WHAT THE STRIKES WERE FOR AND YOU IGNORED THEM AND MADE A FUCKING DEAL WITH AN AI VOICE COMPANY YOU FUCKING JACKALS. I FUCKING HATE YOU SO MUCH.
SAG-AFTRA releases statement on Taylor Swift AI-generated images:
โAs a society, we have it in our power to control these technologies, but we must act now before it is too late.โ
It's kind of hilarious how Biden is such a terrible candidate. The right sees him as a communist infiltrator who is deliberately increasing gas prices to spite them and the left sees him as a doddering half senile genocide enabler and corporate puppet who lies through his teeth
BACKYARD RITUAL: When a woman set up a trail camera with her grandpa to capture wildlife, she never expected to capture what would fuel her nightmares.
I've said it before but Lord of the Rings is a masterpiece of cinema we simply will not see again. Not like this. All the extras wearing hand linked chainmail and prosthetics. The miniatures and physical sets. The sheer scale of it all. A last hurrah of an era of filmmaking
This is absolutely going to end with dead college students and when it does the United States government will fabricate stories about how the murdered students were actually antisemitic russian agitators until ten years later when they're like "yeah we fucked up oops lol"
Really wild how the new big thing is to create ai programs that remove what little humanity you can still feel in art. Little things. The ways eyes tend to wander in emotionally taxing moments. Digitally altering faces for censored cable edits. Kinda makes me want to be dead!
The spiderverse news really hurts because just a couple days ago people were using it as a counterpoint to Marvel's AI art bullshit. Like a sort of "see people still care about art and artists" and then it's like haha whoops surprise there are many flavors of capitalist hell
Blazing saddles is a fascinating work because it's always pointed at as the "OHHH YOU COULDNT MAKE THIS MOVIE TODAY BECAUSE OF THE WOKE" But if you actually look at its story it's loudly saying "racism is stupid and your actual enemy is the corrupt government"
Blazing Saddles was released 50 years ago today, a film which despite what other people say has definitely aged better than other comedies of its time. Definitely due for a re-watch
Look at what the top left corner. He's drawing. Yeah it doesn't look amazing but he's drawing. He's making art. And with time and practice he could turn that into a cool and unique art style. But AI art and its fans don't want to make actual art. They want an end product.
Real-time Latent Consistency is next-level fun! I can't get enough!
I forked & modified the main GitHub repo & added Desktop/App Capture as well as batch scripts for easy installation and launching.

I think a lot about this norm macdonald bit about suicide. I imagine to many it feels really blunt and crass but as someone who's struggled with suicidal ideation it feels like one of the only times I've seen a person really get it
Haha dude this wga strike is so cool. Could you imagine if the actors went on strike too. And the camera people. And the craft services people. And the cleaners. And taxi drivers. And auto mechanics and pilots and warehouse workers and
I love how you can, with zero percent error, tell who has worked retail and who hasn't based on the replies to this clip.
God speed Andrew. You did what so many of us dreamed of doing
I really appreciate how often Ted stumbles/trips in every clip I've seen of this show. I don't know. It's a small touch but it makes the character so charming
This is still such a brutal and sudden death for an established character. His last words to his wife were "no foot longs"
It's not even like "bad things happen to Ned" was a running gag. One day his entire world crumbled in an instant.
Honestly at this point I see AI generated content as a cancer that will slowly but surely kill the internet. I mean the internet will be there but it will be such a vortex of misinformation and bot content it might as well be useless.
It isn't just AI generated text that is starting to bleed over into search results.
The main image if you do a Google search for Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwoสปole (whose version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow you have probably hear) is a Midjourney creation right from Reddit.
No!!!! No no no that isn't good!!!!!! I know you're trying to frame this as good but it is not!!!!! I absolutely agree that the scarcity of historical photos of black people is a tragedy but using AI to make new ones isn't the win you think it is!
These images, skillfully crafted by Cepรฉda Brunson using AI, highlight the liberating potential of artificial intelligence in addressing the scarcity of affirming images of black people in historical archives. While African Americans played a pivotal role in shaping the Old West,โฆ

The more I read about Disney's "wish" the more I'm convinced the company simply can not make art anymore. Like they simply can not. They've capitalismed too close to the sun. Everything has to be a reference to another property. Everything has to be a callback.
Star Wars movies will never be really good again because it's this massive Sci fi universe full of cool bullshit like slug crime lords and an order of nuns who ride monsters and use laser whips but the suits actively refuse to let the plot stray from the same six characters
I've always found it really funny how the first movie is about humans and the way they're starting to become the new apex predator and then they just fucking disappear
Boeing whistleblower John Barnett was planning to drive home to Louisiana after his deposition on Friday 3/8 before Boeing lawyers asked him to stay one more day to finish his testimony.
His body was found on the morning of 3/9.
The Baz Luhrmann Romeo and Juliet is one of the few adaptations to really embrace the absurdity of the story and, most importantly, remember that it's theater. Big. Loud. Flashy. Fun. Excellent movie. Up there with Much Ado as my favorite WS adaptation
If a Tesla driver sped the wrong way through a parking lot then did this after almost hitting me I think I'd be overwhelmed by a red haze of Bestial fury. I'd basically become a Norse Berserker outside of Joann Fabrics
A woman once came into the staples print center with a photo the size of a postage stamp and wanted to expand it to the size of a movie poster. When we told her, repeatedly, that it would look blurry, she told us to do it anyway. The next day she accused me of ruining a funeral.
FOLKS WITH EXPERIENCE IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY:
I wanna hear your personal horror stories with customers.
The worst, the scariest, the moments that still haunt you at random times of the day, I want it all.
Some folks think weโre exaggerating. Letโs show em how bad it can get.
I hate this and don't want it to happen but it would be really funny if the film opens with Kurt Russel and Keith David still sitting across from eachother with comically long white beards and Russell says "well it's been 40 years I guess you arent the thing"
Remember that time Elons dad was like "oh that time my son got pushed down the stairs? Yeah it was because he made fun of another kids dad for committing suicide. Totally had it coming."
"So as you can see, people like watching movies with strong writing, clever premises, and inspired visual design."
"They like movies about toys. Got it."
Mattel wants to create a ton of โBARBIEโ sequels.
โItโs a very rich universeโฆ Itโs a very broad and very elastic brand, in terms of opportunities.โ

Hey Elon if you're suddenly so big on shutting down doxxing would you find fucking banning the account that still has my home address in the name or do i have to report it another eighteen fucking times
James Corden, Camila Cabello, Billy Porter and Idina Menzel stopped traffic in LA for a flash mob with a cover of Jennifer Lopezโs โLetโs Get Loudโ to promote
#CinderellaMovie
The cast of Critical Role doesn't actually like DnD anymore but have to keep playing because it's now a corporation that has to endlessly create content.
whatโs the lowest stakes conspiracy theory you have? i think airplane mode is a hoax because they donโt want you texting your friends and telling them youโre not having fun on the plane
The problem with jurassic park is that it actually has really complex themes about the dangers of capitalist cost cutting and how science without ethics will always lead to disaster but that doesn't sell well so they just keep making it about killer dinosaurs
Weird Internet Nerds: "The samurai were men of HONOR and COURAGE. Their blades were honed to perfection and could cut through three bodies!"
Actual Samurai the moment they got guns:
They just straight up have guns in the setting. Not lasers but like "shoot a bullet" guns. They're called slugthrowers. They're a really strong counter to lightsabers because if a Jedi tries to deflect the slug it just melts and sprays them with molten metal and shrapnel
Look I'm happy for everyone actually feeling good about this but to me live action adaptations of animated properties still feel derivative at best and downright insulting towards the medium of animation at worst. Like I'm sorry but I still have no idea why we're doing this.
I really can't exaggerate how much I love and respect these shorts for actually making mickey and friends weird and funny. After decades of seeing mickey as this clean corporate figurehead it was so refreshing to see him be a dumb freak.
"Nope" is one of my favorite movies because it was marketed as, and starts out as, this spooky alien movie and then at the third act it throws sand in your eyes and says "surprise bitch this is the best Western movie of the decade"
So here's my question, was this designed and acknowledged as a fetish game from the start or was the director the entire time visibly sweating like "uh yeah also you should have a part where you're running on a giant donut and she's about to eat you haha wouldn't that be funny."
One thing I've noticed about ai art people is they're actively hostile towards creators in ways I dont see from actual artists. It's not enough to say "this algorithm created a movie trailer" they have to be like "HOLLYWOOD IS FUCKED. THE OLD WORLD IS DYING. BEHOLD MY WONDERS."
Paramount Pictures: *Delays the sonic movie so they can fix problems without killing their animators*
Every Triple A videogame studio realizing they can no longer justify crunching their staff into an early grave because "it's just how things are done":
Me, trying to win an election with tanking popularity due to an ongoing genocide im directly enabling: "hey what if I banned the most popular thing on fucking earth."
God I love this guy. He's the overleveled DMPC who's solely there to make sure the party doesn't wipe in this dungeon they are absolutely not prepared for
1. Be as mean as possible to any corporate accounts. Just infuriatingly juvenile. And we have to be creative. You can't just "silencebrand.jpg" em. You gotta come up with some unique shit.
I really appreciate the new cultural phenomenon of "the internet learns about a special needs cat in a viral post and just instantly falls in love resulting in the cats immediate adoption and huge support for the shelter."
2. Embrace cringe. I want to see Undertale AU RP responses in replies. I want to see flower crown edits of history's greatest butchers. We're burning this fucker down with ourselves inside it
By far the most embarrassing part of the new star wars trilogy is just how hard they fumbled Finn, a character with setting-altering potential played by a fantastically talented and charming actor.
100% Honest question. Is there any official batman fiction that explores, or at least touches on, how much Gotham City's clown performers hate the joker for ruining their chosen performing art.
I want a story that ends with a bunch of clowns beating the joker with hammers
Justin roiland getting shoved into a patrol car like "What y-y-you gonna send me to jail? Huh? You gonna send me to, uh, bad guy jail? For bad guys? Y-y'know, wow, I'm such a bad guy here! Just a real fuckin mean one! Y-yeah I know I have the right to remain silent! B-bitch!"
Justin Roiland has been charged with one count of domestic battery with corporal injury & one count of false imprisonment by menace/violence/fraud/deceit.
