RIP Guy Moon, the composer for several series, including Fairly OddParents (and the rest of Butch Hartman's work), 2 Stupid Dogs, Cow and Chicken, Ned's Declassified, Big Time Rush, Back in the Barnyard, and many more.
He was 63 years old.

Bluesky admin has let a lot of people and groups down. Casey being dismissed after being such a proponent for the platform is an inexcusable as anything
When I tell people to get off Twitter, it is not with the intention of telling them come here instead
Find a platform that makes you feel secure.

Remember guys, just be caution and don't trust Bluesky optics going into 2026...
There are users in here are as devastated as you are from Twitter. While we have it with the great For You feed. Expect much more disappointment and infuriating posts, updates, and transparency from these guys here

I wanted to go to ALA this weekend, but I’ve been sick since Tuesday. I haven’t been to that con since before COVID. I’d really like to start going to small local conventions again.

At what point in history did we decide that law enforcement was a job for dumb guys? Because it really shouldn’t be.
Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

They’ve called it the Riley Gaines Industrial Complex, but it really started with Kyle Rittenhouse. All he did was get scared and kill two people, but since conservatives really want to kill people and get away with it, he got elevated to right wing figurehead overnight. He’s not even an activist.
Kyle Rittenhouse was an honored guest at a 2024 gathering of Oregon Republican activists. This is the monstrously depraved tweet he sent tonight. These are the people who claim to be defending Christianity and “western civilization.”

I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that “Twitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves “Iowa MAGA Farm Guy”
thinking about how long leftists were blamed for making twitter inhospitable for MPs who are refusing point blank to leave now it's full of nazis and child porn

If you've been a fan of Eastern Media since 1990, Antarctic Press's shift from "Ben Dunn made Sun Vulcan OCs before Power Rangers hit the air" to publishing full on Hard Right Wing Propaganda is brain melting
for no particular reason, was reminded today that "Ninja High School" publisher Antarctic is nowadays releasing comics about anti-immigration vigilantes keeping America safe from evil foreigners. In case you were wondering what they were up to. medium.com/theuglymonst...

“What was animation Collective?” you ask.
“Was it a cooperative?”: No.
“What was it like to work there?”
Why I’m glad you asked; This 2005 Village Voice article definitely not specifically about Animation Collective with names changed, encapsulates it perfectly:

Got some time off between gigs from Jan 10-25 and I am doing the usual catch-up-with-friends-and-maybe-make-new-ones routine if anyone is around LA during those weeks!
