The only reason why people join ICE is because it allows them to freely act like violent criminals and the GOP protects them for it. This is why they and their supporters are considered to be America's Al-Qaeda.
This is the agent that murdered the woman in Minneapolis on 1/7/2026.

Here’s a fun fact: Did you know that in the 1950s, many American school had Robin Hood banned from libraries because Republicans felt that the story was promoting “communism”. Just thought I’d bring that up today. No particular reason.

Visited the Disney studio during their outdoor holiday market a few weeks back and they had some props from Muppet Christmas Carol, including Miss Piggy’s Emily Cratchit costume. Looking at it up close, I never noticed this amazing tiny froggie brooch in the film.

Impeach, convict, remove.

I really need people to fucking go after this one, guys. I need heads to actually roll for this one. We cannot fucking let this slide this time.
I need people to keep bringing it up and not take any sort of excuse. Call people about it. We can't let twitter/elon get away with this #political

A big part of the line’s iconography is how the emphasis in the delivery is in all the wrong places. It’s just so bizzare to hear all the energy by put in PING AS in a big way compared to the rest of the phrase. The unintentional randomness is what made Pingas the comedy legend we know it today.
I think what makes Pingas so eternally hilarious is that it isn't robotnik saying penis. We have that when he said "happiness" and it isn't nearly as funny. It's that the sound PEENGUS is just absurd and side splitting and this is why sentence mixing will always be funnier than genAI voices

Will X being the platform for AI csam finally be the thing that gets people who should have quit it 2 years to leave. At a certain point (now), if you are a public figure hanging on there, you’re endorsing all of this.

- Started a new Animation Lookback with Blue Sky Studios and made my first Top 10 in years
- Made a lot of improvements to my self-care

Many of you are psyching yourself up to start that dream project in 2026.
AWESOME
Just keep in mind that devoting your free time to achieving your dreams is not the same as Hustle Culture. Keep your mind on you and your art and don't fall into the trap of thinking every minute should be monetized.

Everyone needs a holiday break, including me, which is why I won't be uploading a video this week to have more time making the next project. Speaking of which, the next video will be the anticipated Top 5 Best & Worst Animated Films of 2025, and it's going to be bigger, better, and more unexpected!

Animation I did for a Hanna-Barbera inspired project im working on with friends based on characters created by ourselves.
I did this on a whim today despite no prior animation experiences keeping with the limitations Hanna-Barbera had in the early 60s.
I gotto say Im pleased with the final result.

Need one more cartoon to watch before the year ends? Jorge Gutierrez recently released his new pilot on YouTube that's like a Mexican Dark Universe that he knows how to do best. Sure, most of it an animatic, but it's still great to see what Jorge's been cooking!
