This is why I hate the “it has to be subtle!!!” Critique of queer media. The fact that we can’t just say what we are or what the character is is so reductive and constraining to so many queer writers. Don’t let cis people dictate how you show you identity. They don’t know what they’re saying.

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

The announcement of Eric Bauza's death hit like a truck, it still feels like it isn't real. He was a constant presence in the world of cartoons, not just voicing them, but celebrating the medium. #RIPEricBauza #EricBauza #LooneyTunes #Art #fanart

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

yup.

thehandbasket.coRepublicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problemA spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

The fact that billionaires can just buy an entire film distribution company that has been running and respected for over a decade to kill a documentary about their billionaire friend and nothing can be done about it is just Fuck man

My first professional voice gig, I got to share the booth with Bauza, him as Bugs and me as Beaky. I was so nervous, so scared... and then he came into the booth with me, reassured me, told me I'd do better than okay, and for that half hour I felt like I really could be good enough for him.

He gave me tips, joked with me, laughed with me, and it truly felt like he had my back. Even if I never step foot in a booth again, that session might be one of the most rewarding, fun and exhilarating moments of my animation career, and that was all because of him. He just had that effect on you.

I met him the first week I moved to LA 15 years ago, and all these years just watching him just reach new heights, get more roles and bigger gigs and just keep the spirit of these characters alive... he was like the biggest champion of all of us, past, present and future. An immense, terrible loss.

Him being gone is like knowing the lighthouse is unmanned, or more aptly, the rabbit hole is left empty, and we're just standing outside of it, waiting for him to pop out of it again.
