Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

Vanity Fair asked me to talk about visual effects, and it was my great honor to show off some of ILM’s terrific work over the years.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

*Lots* of change & old problems pulled out of the mental junk drawer this past month, so I haven't been & won't be as active. I'm burned the fuck out & got things needing change & work in my life. I'll still be streaming, but quieter.

I'm so grateful for the friends I have. Hang in there, everyone

Little bonus for you all, another collection of sketches for Greenbone, One of the two leads in a BattleTech story I and some friends have been working on. A big, buff, bold, beautiful mess of a MechWarrior. The story's in its first revision stage, so I may wind up redesigning her, but these are some of the sketches where she showed up on the page juuuuust right.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

It's kinda weird reading hate comments because the Pulp Cthulhu game I played in my house with my friends... <checks notes>... wasn't sexist enough.
I asked my wife if she felt I did her a disservice by not making the game more historically sexist, and she said no.
So, I guess, fuck those haters.

Art of my knight OC

A knight in armor, leather hat and a layered dress. Her outfit is shades of maroon pink and red with a veil in bright red being pulled over her face. An arrow has gone by her face and in her chest piece leaving pink sparks on impact. She holds her sword low to her side.
