Your opposition to war can just be that war is evil. it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

Kojima made multiple games about the inevitable expansion of nuclear states and private military run wars and governments redefining what patriotism truly means and man that dude is crazy but also knew exactly what was going on

Long live 2D animation (& practical effects).

Yeah. It’s shaking loose but there is so much work to build aid infrastructure to support actual worker power against the government.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

once again reminding everyone to funnel your emotions into organizing and building solidarity in your community and not pointless doomscrolling

The people have to actually drag these monsters out into the streets for a day of reckoning. I just don’t see the system ever holding them accountable. This includes the liars who sold this terrible bill of goods. But I also understand why this is unlikely. Everyone wants stability.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

Manga Vineland Saga page with two panels of a father holding his son then a close up of his hand bleeding. The speech bubbles read you have no enemies no on jn the world is your enemy. There is no one you need to hurt.

The truth is we don’t need to fight anyone ever. Its the deepest truth.

The media simply refused to describe the actual, real world stakes of the 2024 election. The Republican nominee was a demonstrable violent lunatic hell bent on revenge and that man was covered like a normal guy who would tame inflation.

Ive never been good at that. I usually leave it in the bedroom on Sundays. I was on here too much this week and I know it effects my mood. Too much news.

This is so incredible and the process is part of the story. I think this will be important for future animation projects aswell. What story is there to tell with AI if you just pushed a button? None.

Yup! Biggest one you got

Brought some hope into my heart

I highly doubt that’s the reason hahaha

Yeah. We have to take culture back! But I fear our numbers maybe too small.

Heh

Yeah thats probably part of it. I spent the whole day writing out 5 pages. And it just doesn’t feel like it should take that long because it’s just a few words on the page. But its a mountain of thinking through the concept.

Same.

Where have you seen that bit about cels?

I managed to push through! Its a first draft and I already had an outline so its not that I didn't know what to write but just how to write it. Also its a 5 page short. It took me all day lol

Reading the news about AI’s got me feeling like this…

Im on the last little beat but I just can't get it out.

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

(Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

Anthropic's statement is also marketing hype.

I hate having to do this, but the next month is going to be a struggle for me financially and I could use some help. I'm actively looking for a full-time job *on top* of trying to find a second part-time survival job. Bills don't care about how hard the job market is ko-fi.com/hanoodles/go...
