Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

EVO is Cannibalizing the FGC YouTube video by Sajam

full vid is live now btw. I've just been laying on the floor. youtu.be/jOE-HcLqbMk

The EVO situation is dire.

The playbook has always been buy up item, tell people nothing will change, then boil the frog. They're moving fast on EVO because they're hoping to control every major fighting game event and local scene to funnel everything back into Saudi Arabia. They want to control all fighting games.

The second portion of this headline was a (presumably) joke response to an equally harmless question, suggesting that there weren’t immediate plans for follow-up content.

But when a news outlet failing to do due diligence makes it sound like genuine internalized hatred, they invite MORE harassment.

Digital illustration with a traditional appearance of purple and yellow-orange hues on canvas. The setting is Clocktown, from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. A low view of Link stepping away cautiously while looking up past the clocktower at the massive and menacing moon that will soon crash down on Termina.

Happy 40th to Legend of Zelda 🗡️

Excellent. I hope more pubs, bars and breweries follow this lead - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'Sleeping Beauty,' 'Roger Rabbit' Animator Jane Baer Dies At 91 A world-class animator, producer, studio founder, and a founding member of Women in Animation (WIA) Baer worked with the Nine Old Men and into the digital age.

Jane Baer has died at 91. A titan, she worked on 'Sleeping Beauty,' co-founded Baer Animation, supervised 'Roger Rabbit,' and advocated for her fellow artists. Few careers trace the evolution of late-20th-century American animation as completely.

@spacetwinks doctor: treatment is simple. go see orville, very funny clown pagliacci: what about pagliacci? doctor: pagliacci? man i could not name a more suckass clown pagliacci: doctor: just downright dogshit of a clown

I didn’t even know misconduct in public office was a crime here 💀 You’re telling me that’s been illegal this whole time??!

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.

In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

It's bittersweet seeing a legend like James Baxter pop in to guest-animate a sequence for some TV series now and then

On the one hand: holy shit James Baxter is one of the best to ever do it

On the other: the infrastructure that cultivated James Baxter's skills doesn't really exist anymore

Truly the most stupid timeline. At a point in time where renewable energy has tipped into genuine widespread viability, capital invents whole new ways to fabricate waste and scarcity.

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...
