Heard the fireworks, goodnight LA!

Just dropping this right here... www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...

minicomic drawn in dreary blue hues. page 1, panel 1: an article on a computer screen reads "[COMPANY] LAYS OFF 30% OF EMPLOYEES." the subheading under the title adds, "Hundreds scramble to pay the bills." panel 2: portrait of eunnie, an exhausted girl with glasses and shoulder-length hair. she stares at the news, leaning her head in a hand. panel 3: she sits back with the same dismal expression, typing something on her keyboard.

page 2, panel 1: eunnie's search query reads "[COMPANY] ceo salary." the result below reads "$30 million a year," followed by a quote that declares, "The industry has never been more profitable!" to the right is a photo of the ceo - a nondescript man in a suit wearing a sleazy grin. panel 2: eunnie sits at her computer, face blank. panel 3: everything turns red, an abrupt zoom-in blurring eunnie's portrait as she blasts lasers from her eyes.

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year.

Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually.

The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

Yahoo sells TechCrunch to investment firm Regent Regent recently acquired Foundry, which houses a slew of online tech publications such as PCWorld, Macworld and TechAdvisor.

wow, apparently Axios broke the story about Techcrunch being sold before Techcrunch employees were even told

I'm fortunate I got to board a fun stylized music-driven sequence under Alex Kirwan's direction, after we worked well together on the Witch Hazel cartoon for the shorts years ago. My drawings are so scribbly, I think I roughed it out in barely 2-3 days if I recall, no cleanup. But man, what a blast.

There were a lot of influences I looked at and felt inspired by before diving into the sequence. Bubsy Berkeley scenes, Oskar Fischinger, Boris Artzybasheff, sequences from Fantasia/Make Mine Music/Melody Time, Dumbo, Cinderella, Modern Times... lot of homages and little references here and there.

I wish I had more time to make my boards polished & pretty, but I guess there was enough information there to work off of, including Stephen DeStefano on designs, Joshua Moshier's incredible score & the amazing animators up at TonicDNA. They took my thumbnails and made a stunning sequence out of it!

I saw the new Looney Tunes movie tonight and I was blown away! A beautiful, hilarious work of art made by many talented people at their absolute best. Had to bust out the pen and paper because I was so inspired. Go see this movie if you love fun!

Clearest proof yet that the Trump admin uses "DEI" to mean "nonwhite people doing something impressive and getting credit."

Navajo Code Talkers made a big difference in WWII. The Axis had more trouble translating their language than cracking codes. And it's not like the Navajo owed the US anything.

Production Management Workers At Walt Disney Animation Studios Have Ratified Their First Union Contract The milestone contract marks the first time that production management workers at a feature animation studio have gained representation through The Animation Guild.

After a two year battle, production management workers at Walt Disney Animation Studios have ratified their first union contract. The milestone contract marks the first time that production management at a feature animation studio have gained representation through The Animation Guild.

Ahh, the grand tradition of executives loading a once reputable brand up with debt, giving themselves huge bonuses, then driving a company into bankruptcy.
Let the enshittification begin

‪Tickets for The Day the earth Blew Up are now available to buy!

Y’all better buy these tickets and support this movie. I don’t wanna hear any whining about this film bombing or 2D animation “Dying” because you couldn’t be bothered to buy a ticket and see it in theaters ‬

Another one 🧐

For me as someone who’s worked in development at a major studio it can be so frustrating how there are such obvious (IMO) choices from the IP library to focus on and there are so many frustrating things that get in the way so I deeply feel that here lol

Moon Girl. The optics are in the trash right now. And just in general, she’s just a solid role model and great character they should be building around long term.

IP. It’s true, esp compared to Moana. It’s the corporate short term quarterly profits of it all that pisses me off. They invested in Tiana for a whole chunk of their theme park, have been actively trying to court more Black Americans, they also just canceled a Black Panther spin off show and..

I completely agree with you. Part of me still feels like well at least the Moana sequel still gets to exist whereas Tiana doesn’t see the light of day as a series or feature, flaws and all (there’s still a special). Part of my disappointment is exactly what you said about Tiana not being a strong..

Aaaand just saw that an incredibly talented friend was just laid off from Disney Vancouver. I don’t know why I’m shocked it started so fast. 😭 Thinking about y’all today.
