I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)
These are not serious people or good faith actors.
Couldn’t warm up today so I washed my bedding. After drying the blankets, I got cozy-wrapped. Sooo warm. 💚
Anyone who knows me well, knows my, ummm… Strong… Very strong feelings about religion. Despite those feelings, I like what this man has to say:

Seriously!? I’m jealous. Are you actually in the UW library? (I quit before the plushie came out so I missed out.)
More of my concept character animation for Glassbreakers at Polyarc. This is the proxy mesh for the male starthing.
He's a gambler with irreverent sensibility. Everything is funny to him.
Gameplay: His attacks start with a C shape, moving to an S shape, ending in reverse C for visual progression.
More of my prototype character exploration from Polyarc's Glassbreakers. This is concept anim on a proxy mesh.
She felt like a twisted ballerina to me. Wanted to really sell the contrast between timid, graceful and vicious.
Mesh by Chris Alderson of Polyarc. Music by Geoff Harvey.
This is a concept animation I created on a proxy mesh back when I was with Polyarc. We were exploring sci-fi ideas for potential new projects that never materialized. Think of this like a rough animation sketch.

It’s hard to imagine what our nation could look like after anti-pluralists lose leverage. It’s a key oversight born of our founders well-intent, and will be a very difficult pill to swallow. Here’s a fantastic, empathetic dissertation on the topic.
Become the light you want to carry into 2026. Happy New Year, everyone! 💚
I’m Irish. My spouse is Japanese. You just described our perfect meal. 😂
Ju Li, hope things get easier for you. 💚
I’ve backed out of the race myself. Been OOO since August. 25 years in and I’m crispy.
Thanks Toby!
Lost my mom in July. She and I had a very strained relationship. She died alone and unloved. A choice she made by treating everyone around her with disdain.
I wish my mom and I had the relationship you guys had. I’m sorry for your loss. Your mom knew she was loved, and obviously loved you too 🫂.
From: A newly minted (trans) woman.
To: All women
I’m so sorry. I had no idea. Even though I was never an aggressor, my prior complicity is no excuse.
I’m immensely grateful to the incredible doctors, scientists and advocates that enable me to be myself, and broaden my understanding. 💚

Had the distinct pleasure to participate in Epic’s Unreal Rigging workshop as a non-employee. I can’t believe how amazing the rigging pipeline is, and I’m excited to fully implement my animation process end-to-end in Unreal. This course was an incredible start!
Another clip from Glassbreakers! This is a 4 hit attack chain with dice.
The games characters auto attack when within range. The speed of the attacks is a bit slower than I was used to, so I used that time to show a little personality and attack progression.
Honestly, he’s an amazing character without the snail. And @kieranlampert.com did an incredible job on the skins. Maybe others too? I have old person brain.
Thanks! 😁
That's something I pushed for, but unfortunately it was removed before the final meshes were made because they wanted to vary the size of the mushroom hat in different skins. Also because more things to animate = more time.
Glassbreakers: Champions of Moss by Polyarc will be out November 13th. It’s a game I helped prototype WAY back in 2016, put on hold at the time.
Resurrected in 2021, I helped the team a little bit after Moss 2 was released, prior to my departure from Polyarc. My good friend Jason is anim director!
Seriously, LinkedIn?
Given my animation career, I’d be good as the president of victims of torture and/or an auto museum?
Think it’s the same algorithm that decides names for Japanese fighting games and conservative conspiracy theories.
Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"
One of our cats, Opal, used to avoid me. In the last few months, she won’t let me sit alone. Rubbing her face in my neck and hair. It’s adorable.
Great reporting, though I’m curious why Okichitaw, Canadian martial arts, was not included. Interntewebs report a high level of effectiveness against Covid, rubella, even the Plague of Justinian!
Many uncles have learnt it good, and have strong, patriotic bodies.
When we echo the sources of hate, we hand them control over our lives. We stop ourselves from actually solving anything.
The truth is, there is no “us vs. them.” There’s only us. All of us, together in this.
And “them”? Well, here’s what that looks like:

We argue over talking points we’ve been provided as a way to distract us from the real data and the real problems.
We deserve better than a status quo where another 5,000 shootings are treated as inevitable. Better than being turned against each other for someone else’s power and profit.
Think about the last time you felt anger about a topic, where did it come from? Often it’s fed to us: from mainstream media, social media, political “leaders,” even our peers. It seeps into our churches, workplaces, homes, and communities.
In the last 12 years, only 5 out of 5,729 mass shootings involved transgender perpetrators (Gun Violence Archive). That’s 0.087%.
And yet, some choose to ignore facts and amplify hate. Hate was involved in 100% of these shootings. Don’t join the cause.
So where does this hate come from?
My PS5 is an angry muppet.
