Shovel Knight was the first thing I ever pledged for on Kickstarter and it was overwhelmingly justified. Yacht Club knows how to make exceptional games, and I strongly implore folks to support them and keep them rolling. I've had my eyes on this game since it was announced, and the demo is fantastic

When you were starting your scientific career, did you feel pressured to conduct animal experiments? Or maybe you still do?

Animal research is often justified as “for humanity,” but we rarely talk about the human cost to those doing the work. Many lab workers feel powerless, complicit, and unsure who is safe to confide in. That’s why we built Justify’s Lab Worker Hub - https://www.whenwejustify.org/lab-worker-hub

This is Magnus. He just beat cancer. His family wrote the big news on their car and bought him balloons to celebrate. Magnus got so much love from strangers the whole way home. His human said, "I hope everyone has a Magnus in their lives, who shows them what determination and strength are." 14/10

This dog was spotted politely waiting by a pizza truck. He doesn’t have to say what he wants. They already know his order. It is pizza. 13/10 (IG: lauren.bardini)
a vertical shot of a placid, cloudy day. on the left, a barren tree reaches up to the overcast sky. on the right, a boxy white food truck has parked with its little window propped open for business. you can just make out the word “pizza” in black curly lettering on the front of the truck. in the center of the photo, sitting squarely in the middle of a green bike lane, a rather large dog that resembles a golden retriever or great pyrenees is sitting patiently in profile, staring expectantly at the food truck’s window while basking in the glow of its lights.

A photo of a needle felted rat in a scarf holding a paintbrush beside a small easel with a rat painting. The rat in the painting is wearing a party hat as rats should. The rat in a scarf is not, but maybe it should.

Sharing this again because this is an absolutely amazing breakdown. Read through the whole doc and it is worth every bit of your time if you're even remotely into Indiana Jones and/or script-writing.

Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

It's well worth your time: www.creativescreenwriting.com/indiana-jone...
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Learning from Stoppard By Mike Fitzgerald, June 13, 2016 Comparing two drafts of a script can be hugely instructive, revealing point-by-point how a writer went about improving the story. When I stumbled upon an earlier draft of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I discovered a dazzling, glittering trove of lessons as nourishing as eternal life itself. Well, nearly so. Last Crusade was written by Jeffrey Boam, from a story by George Lucas and Menno Meyjes. So say the opening credits. Boam’s final draft, dated March 1, 1988 (ten weeks before production) differs drastically from the published script which reflects the released version of the film. Differences come as no shock, but with Last Crusade they aren’t just a few deleted scenes and some line changes. Whole sections of the Boam draft were reimagined, major set pieces were added, and the pacing and tone were markedly transformed. Whoever made these changes possessed a profound grasp of story craft.

Hey Folks,

As I clean up my office today, I happened across a bit of a flashback to my days on "The Batman" with my pals Jeff Matsuda and Jose Lopez.

I had great fun doing expression drawings for Jeff's take on Batgirl.

Cheers!

Quite enjoyed Zootopia 2! Definitely worth a watch. I do like the first one a bit more, but the second one expands upon the original nicely and has a very topical message. The dynamic between Judy and Nick is sweet and relatable, and the artistry, of course, is on point. Oh, and the snake is cute.

Y’all, Claudio is a friend of mine down in Brazil. He is a terrific person and a terrific artist!

He’s in need of some gigs to help make ends meet.

Maybe some D&D character commissions for your group for the holidays?

Please share!

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

You know, I will say: Even tho 2025 has been Stress City for us, what with the move and getting used to a "new" place, the fact that it feels like actual Christmas here in Minnesota, with the soft, fluffy snow, holiday music playin', & decorations, is sublime. California ain't got nothin' on this. ❄️
