Within the next few years, Funko will run out of characters to make figures out of and will begin picking random, normal people.
Like, you'll walk into a Gamestop and see a Funko Pop of you.
Then 7 days later, you die.
I like this because it means before cars existed little kids were still obsessed with cars they just were like โimagine if a cow had wheels and went vroomโ
Compton man speaks out after being falsely accused in ambush of two Los Angeles sheriffโs deputies. Tells Black men beware, that it could happen to them.
Hidesaburo Ueno's dog, Hachiko, would wait at the train station for him to come home. One day Ueno died while giving a lecture, and Hachiko continued to go to the station and wait every day for ten years. Fuck you I'm not crying.
This is why I am constantly banging on a drum about ignoring "contests". They are all predatory marketing scams whether they have a reward or not.
Do not give corporations anything. Your ideas, your art, anything. They are not your friend and they will screw you for a buck.
In 2017 Oreo had a contest for a new flavor. 50k grand prize. They sent a mock up of the flavor I submitted. I didn't win. Got no money. But they launched the churro flavor in 2019

Thatโs the mayor of Syracuse. Upstate NY is gorgeous, but the cities have long been hollowed out to the benefit of the suburbs
Nazis/KKK are so scared shitless that they spend all their money on guns and surround themselves with obnoxious pickup truck armor in order to attack unarmed protesters marching for justice.
Look at the streets. They're not the majority. And they know it.

I'm going to be 38 and had to move far away from a major city to buy my first house right before a global pandemic and the water heater is old, the roof is old, and I have one client right now so I will yell "heckin chonker" at the top of my lungs at every groundhog I see.

Japan was a fascist, nazi-allied state at the time and committed its own share of atrocities. Nobody is denying or excusing that. It still doesn't excuse the things America did to Japanese civilians both home and abroad.
NEW: Cuomo says indoor dining *might* happen *if* NYC allocates a certain number of NYPD police to a taskforce to enforce social distancing
"Put together a task force of NYPD Speaker Johnson and say they're going to be 4k police who are going to be doing restaurant compliance"
All day I've been laughing to myself that there are actual people out there who are like,
"Light is both a wave and a particle.
But BIOLOGY... that's immutable"

You're never going to beat ai in a race to the bottom. People who actually appreciate art and artists will not only pay appropriately for it, but they'll spread the word too
2020 has been a hell of a thing. But the one bright spot has always been the wonderful
@nicolablack
and the life weโve been building together, so we decided to level up to โfiancรฉโ ๐

is asking for new handguns plus approval of a new vehicle called The Rook. Hereโs what the one Apacheโs County uses looks like.

I've seen videos of this a couple times before and I love how they always run away like "Wtf?!"
I can't help but feel it must not be pleasant having something like that pop off your skull
I worked a job where I made myself available at all hours, any day of the week, and it was the stupidest thing I've ever done. I left that job with the same title as when I started.
Your boss doesn't give a shit.
The End.
I'm cracking up writing this, but this scared the crap out of me as a kid!! Walking around a temple at night telling me stories about cursed-ass statues. Fuck!
Did I ever try it? Hell no.
Besides, the courtyard is locked up at night nowadays. So good luck with that!
Lots of folks yukking it up about the Tesla Starman actually being a dead body, but you won't be laughing so hard when in 2249, DNA reveals that the skeleton belongs to the real Elon Musk
Incredibly heartbreaking news. The Nib helped lift countless artists and fostered collaborations across all fields, artistic or otherwise. It is an oasis in the desert of cheap clickbait and constant media pivots to whatever the current techbro grift happens to be.
After ten years of publishing, The Nib is going to close down this summer. The new issue of our magazine, the Future issue, will be our last. Read the full statement from our editor here:
It is in all of our interest to stop police abuse.
Stopping police abuse vindicates the overwhelming majority of good police.
It restores trust. It restores safety.
For the sake of our communities, we must do this.

I'm a firm believer that anybody can learn to draw. If you ever think aphantasia might be an obstacle, remember that famous portrait artist Chuck Close has face blindness.

You would never act for free, and your union makes sure that youโre fairly compensated. So why prey on other creatives for spec work?
The whole "This isn't for pros, it's just for fun/new artists" is a bullshit argument and I see it every time this topic comes up.
We know who these contests are "for" and we see it for what it is: Exploiting a naive labor force.
The narrator points out how similar Goro's work is to his fathers', and how clearly this is an issue of Miyazaki seeing himself in the mirror of his son, for whom he was rarely around.
