It was @sarahjeong.bsky.social and we’ve been pounding this drum for years - especially since all the promises of metadata to prove images are real have gone nowhere www.theverge.com/2024/8/22/24...

There's nothing more loathsome than generating viral video hoaxes when there are real people in the same situation who depend on the public knowing what's happening to them.

Also everyone in the clip has crunchy synthetic robot voice.

Given what they were trying to accomplish at the time, trading their inventory to TV stations looking to fill airtime, I wouldn't say this was a bad advertisement. It probably worked.

The Program Exchange gave stations access to old cartoons like Dennis the Menace, Woody Woodpecker and the Flintstones in exchange for airing cereal commercials. This was always the pitch.

The interesting thing is the company was partly responsible for resurrecting the English dub of Sailor Moon.

Don't worry, American culture was also threatened by the ninja turtles based on nothing but "New is bad, old is good"

I think it's funnier that someone got this signed by the original Turtles.

the ad from above, but signed by Renee Jacobs (April O'Neil, with a "guess not...", Barry Gordon (Donatello, with a "YEAH RIGHT!"), Townsend Coleman (Michelangelo, with a "Still here!"), Rob Paulsen (Raphael) and Cam Clarke (Leonardo, with a "Crystal Ball, anyone?")

Actually applied to a storyboard job today. Sent my resume into the Terry Gilliam's Brazil-like bureaucratic void and hoping for the best.

Rewatching Over the Garden Wall again, always love how this show had an all-star cast of great singers and musicians involved in its making and its soundtrack, like Chris Issak, Samuel Ramey, Jack Jones, Bebe Neuwirth, lot of great artists!

This isn't exactly consistent in older art.

This photo hangs in my home. Making Season 2 of #Peacemaker has been the highlight of my creative life and it wouldn’t be that way with each of these folks who I truly love. Haven’t watched it? Watch it now on HBO Max.

If anyone complains about new pokemon I would like to point out: The original starters included a dragon (which wasn't a dragon-type), a dinosaur with a flower growing out of its back, and a digimon-looking turtle with shoulder canons.

You can't convince me that Polywrath is a real evolution. It's just Polywhirl flexing.

Polywrath looks exactly the same, except its flexing its chest/mouth.

You know, the swirly dude with cartoon gloves that very few children could identify as a frog. Ideal mascot.

There was a moment in Pokemon's history where Nintendo's marketing department thought "maybe our game's mascot will be Polywhirl."
