Until we pass FDR's economic bill of rights the 1% will continue to live in extraordinary abundance while the working class struggles to survive. Medicare for All, a living wage, a free education, rent control & Social Security expansion - it ain't complicated & it ain't radical.

In this conversations about THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP and COYOTE VS. ACME the focus should be on how heroic it is for Ketchup Entertainment to step up and try to save these movies that Warner didn’t care for to audiences when no one else did.

It's kinda sad there's a new A Looney Tunes movie, and it's clearly been sent out to die. And to add salt to the wound, they removed all Looney Tunes content from streaming the next day lmao. Not only didn't they market it, they somehow did anti-markerting.

Production workers at Walt Disney Animation Studios have ratified their first union contract with the Animation Guild, increasing benefits and raising wages up to 35%. The contract provides for production workers to receive protections including pension and health benefits.

We live on a planet where food literally grows on trees, & water falls from the sky, but instead of cooperating in solidarity & mutual aid, so we can all enjoy this earthly paradise, we decided to create things like the 8 hour work day, credit scores, & school lunch debt.

If we treated older women like this more often maybe younger women would be less petrified of aging

It's not a "backwards progression of CGI", it's capitalism. Art is sacrificed for profit in ways not even readily apparent.
The backwards progression of cgi needs to be studied, this was 18 years ago

This is an invisible cost in our industry that outsiders don't realize. The most successful artists in animation are those who spend a lot of time outside of work doing MORE work - personal & freelance. People will work an extra 10-20 hrs/wk, just to stay visible & relevant
Replying to @allisonperryart
I've been fortunate enough to be pretty consistently employed & mostly only have to work 1 job at a time, but even then, in my industry, I need work to get hired, but I can't show my work for years because of NDAs, so I basically have to do more work after work to stay employed.

Yes, but remember that from childhood Michelangelo and Bernini did not have to do anything else but learn to make art, they did not have to labour, do housework, anything. if you want artists like this then you need to let them do nothing but art, and conservatives *hate* that
Michelangelo at 26 yo Bernini at 23 yo
