TF you mean poorly drawn?! These are amazing!

Poorly drawn Gible line

“In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“

LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

Here's Why Movie Dialogue Has Gotten More Difficult To Understand (And Three Ways To Fix It)

/Film spoke with several Oscar-winning sound designers, editors, and mixers to learn why it has become tougher to understand what characters

I used to be able to understand 99% of the dialogue in Hollywood films. But over the past 10 years or so, I've noticed that percentage has dropped significantly — and it's not due to hearing loss on my end. It's gotten to the point where I find myself occasionally not being able to parse entire lines of dialogue when I see a movie in a theater, and when I watch things at home, I've defaulted to turning the subtitles on to make sure I don't miss anything crucial to the plot.

Knowing I'm not alone in having these experiences, I reached out to several professional sound editors, designers, and mixers, many of whom have won Oscars for their work on some of Hollywood's biggest films, to get to the bottom of what's going on. One person refused to talk to me, saying it would be "professional suicide" to address this topic on the record. Another agreed to talk, but only under the condition that they remain anonymous. But several others spoke openly about the topic, and it quickly became apparent that this is a familiar subject among the folks in the sound community, since they're the ones who often bear the brunt of complaints about dialogue intelligibility.

Gorillaz art and Craig McCrackens's redraws of it

They are pulling Infinity Train ENTIRELY from HBO Max, along with more than 20 shows and movies (predominantly animation) as early as this week so if you’ve never watched this brilliant, groundbreaking series now may be your only chance until it disappears from streaming. Forever.

They will not be returning to the new merger app between Discovery and WB at all. They are GONE.

That tweet is from the creator of Summer Camp Island, who apparently learned about this decision from a fucking news article. David Zaszlav doesn’t see “kids’ programming” (read: the entire animation industry) as a viable pathway for his new app, so prepare for more cancellations. I would not be surprised if Craig of the Creek, Primal, Young Justice, or any other shows from Cartoon Network or Max Originals are suddenly axed from streaming this year. Absolutely infuriating and unjust for anyone that champions the artistry and importance of animation as a medium to tell stories. I am furious.

Make some noise about this on Twitter if you can, many folks in the animation industry are understandably furious and terrified for their careers.
