Saw Ratboys last night and it ruled

‘We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

Senate Dem looking at funding Trump's war, per Politico:

Jack Reed (RI): @reed.senate.gov
Gary Peters (MI): @peters.senate.gov
Tim Kaine (VA): @kaine.senate.gov
Elissa Slotkin (MI): @slotkin.senate.gov
Chris Coons (DE): @coons.senate.gov
Jeanne Shaheen (NH): @shaheen.senate.gov

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Thanks! It makes moving things forward / backward in space easier, for sure. Before the final animation ill probably build these scenes in Blender to help with the final layout

This film was designed to flow without hard cuts -- the camera just goes and goes and goes

Using Blender to #storyboard has its challenges, but I love the raw control I have to set up and animate complex shots at the boarding stage. I feel like I can tinker with each shot until the timing is exactly what I had in my head-- building the final animatic as I draw.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Our community deserves someone willing to stand up and deliver impactful leadership. And yet Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez, along with 6 other Democrats in the House, just voted through a funding bill that will give ICE billions of dollars with minimal guardrails.

The sky above the East River. There is no aurora visible.

A view of Manhattan under the Triboro Bridge, which itself is visible under the Bridge

Went out in the cold to see if we could catch some aurora (no luck) but the view under the Hell Gate Bridge still rocks

This is nuts. I’d love to see my council member @tiffanycaban.bsky.social push to pass the already existing bill that would ban businesses from tracking us!

Enjoy your NYC trip! Come up to Astoria and check out the Museum of the Moving Image if you’ve never been!

Chipped in $10. No request; happy holidays!
